The entry deadline for the Extreme Mustang Race, open to any mustang adopted in 2022, has been extended. This event is held during the Extreme Cowboy Association World Championship in Glen Rose, TX, and sponsored by the Mustang Heritage Foundation. Horses competing in the Extreme Mustang Race are eligible for approximately $10,000 in cash and prizes awarded to the Top 10 competitors.
The Extreme Mustang Race follows the Extreme Cowboy Race format and is similar in level of difficulty to that of the Non-Pro division. Each competitor will have one chance to prove themselves on the course in the preliminary round before the Top 3 are selected for a final round.
Horses in the Extreme Mustang Race must be shown by the named adopter on the horse’s Bureau of Land Management paperwork except in the case of horses adopted through the Extreme Mustang Makeover program in 2022. If a mustang was adopted through an EMM, Mustang Heritage Foundation allows either the original EMM trainer or the adopter to show the horse.
The Extreme Mustang Race follows EXCA Rules and Regulations and full details about the race can be found on the EXCA World Championship site. Entries for the Extreme Mustang Race have been extended and interested competitors may reach out to MHF Event Director, Tammy Worley, at shows@mustangheritagefoundation.org.
The EXCA World Championship and Extreme Mustang Race events are free to the public and spectators are welcome to attend. All classes will be held at the Somervell Expo Center in Glen Rose, TX.
