Want a Yearling Mustang
DEADLINE EXTENDED TO MAY 10th - You have a few more days... Individuals may apply to train one to four Yearlings. Individuals accepted into the program will receive $200 per Mustang to offset hauling and horse care expenses. BUT, save your receipts for travel, feed, etc - You have to turn in your receipts to get the $200.00. The yearlings will be available to be picked up at Palomino Valley May 16th and 17th. The yearlings will be selected via lottery. Yearlings will be as uniform in size and age as possible.
The Yearlings will have SPECIAL, just for them classes at the Western States Wild Horse and Burro Expo in August (Reno, NV August 15-17). There will be two classes with three groups: Youth, Open and Professional. Mustangs will be scored in body condition (not conformation) and an in hand competition, including picking up feet, loading in a trailer and leading through a pattern with obstacles. Cash prizes will be $5000 split between the three groups. Special classes will continue at the Wild Horse Expo for these 50 horses in 2009 and 2010 with additional cash prizes.
At the Wild Horse Expo (this August), after competition, participants may keep their yearling, at no cost (the $125 adoption fee will be waived). You can take your yearling home and we hope to see you at the show in the future. You do not have to compete at Expo to keep your yearling.
If you decide you don't want to keep the yearling, the yearlings will be sold during the Wild Horse Expo by Silent Auction bidding (Bidding will close at 1:00 Saturday). Any monies raised above the $125 adoption fee for your yearling is YOURS.
If you are interested,
please let me know right away.
