Our 12 year old daughter signed up to join a Mustang Challenge. She is one of 19 applicants chosen to participate and so we drove to Yamhill, Oregon to pick up her mustang.
She will have 98 days to work with the yearling and then return to compete in 3 divisions. Showmanship, in-hand trail and body condition. Her goal is to gentle this untouched yearling, convince the wild horse to trust her, a human, and do what she asks willingly. It is going to be a FUN summer. I am looking forward to watching her and the horse grow.
Then after the competition the teens will auctin off their horses in hopes of promoting the adoption of wild mustangs and to show what great animals they are.
It is my hope to chronicle her journey here.
