Maverik placed 6th in Pro and 8th all around (tally'd points and it worked out to be 8th) out of 53
Fallon placed 8th in Pro and about 10-12th all around (out of 53)
4-7 yearlings went to the Prison to be used as confidence builders for the prisoners who haven't been around horses, and will be started next year.
About 1/3 to 1/2 of us took ours home because of lack of homes, and the rest were placed. Only 2-3 went above BLM adoption fee. The 1st place winner of Pro was adopted AFTER his trainer adopted him for $300 and she donated $125 of it to the Mustang Heritage Foundation. and the other was the 2nd place in Pro and he got $300 at auction. Both were super nice horses. Bravo was the 1st place and Windchester was 2nd. I remember hearing another but don't know who it was.

Fallon LOVES kids we've learned. This nice family almost bought her but it was too late, they didn't have time to fill the applications out.

Hi there, my name is Kirstin and I am competeing in the Ft Worth Makeover in September. I am 14 years old and am currently training 3 mustang yearlings. I was wondering if you could shed some light as to what I should expect. I am getting really anxious about the competition. My 3 are really well behaved. All lead, load, pickup their hooves(most of the time). Trot is still a small problem. I have a lazy one too. She is a huge bay roan. You can view my blog at www.kirstinsmustangmakeover.blogspot.com Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kirstin
Well thats easy. Make sure they can lead ear to ear with you, will load in a trailer next to you, will do a haunch turn planted, will trot over the center of poles with you. Our pattern was loading, haunch turn in a box, trotting over poles and doing a figure 8 at the trot around 2 cones. So make sure they trot around you and away from you. You will get bonus points for ground tying while picking hooves and they like to see 5's in conditioning. Not fat! So you should be able to see ribs when they turn, but not when they just stand there. Thats what my vets example is at least. Mav got 2nd in condition, Fallon got 4th I believe. Hope this helps. Any more questions feel free to ask!
