The Mustang Heritage Foundation (MHF) is excited to announce its first 2022 Extreme Mustang Makeover. The event is slated to take place April 29-30, 2022 in Ocala, Florida.
The event will challenge adult and youth competitors to showcase the trust they have built with previously untouched wild horses in just 100 days of training. Spectators can expect to see a display of incredible athleticism and horsemanship as trainers reveal the complete transformation each horse has undergone in preparation to compete. Stakes will be high as more than $40,000 in cash and prizes will be awarded at the event.
Applications are open now through December 6. Approved competitors will pick up their assigned competition horses on January 14-15, 2022 in Bell, Florida. Find applications for adult and youth competitors at mustangheritagefoundation.org/emm-fl.
