Mustang Makeover

On May 19th Valrie and I went to a Mustang Makeover in Norco, California.  The Mustang Makeover is an event where wild mustang horses are taken and trained up for 90 days in obedience and the ability to perform tasks.  They are then entered into a competition to rate them and their trainers on their progress.  The trainers do not get to pick their horses.  The mustangs are then sold to those wanting outstanding horses.

Here are some pictures from that event.

 This was rather amusing.  A tall man with a short horse.

 This girl is with one of her two horses, both of which won first and second place respectively, causing her to win first and second place as well.

 Both Valrie and I liked the way this horse moved.  It got 3rd.

 The girl that won with her second horse.

 A group of female riders riding in sync to an American song.

 This little pint size rider was really cute.

 She was like 4 or 5 years old and sang the National Anthem.

 She was a horrible singer but very courageous, so we all applauded her.

 This mustang takes a bite on the horn of this cow.

 This man did an awkward marriage proposal before the crowd.  He seemed a big goofball with a really weird voice.

 But she said YES, and...

 He put the ring on her finger.

 Preparing a rope to rope the cow.

 This girl had her reins in her teeth while she held up a tarp and moved her horse with the tarp flying overhead.
