A total of 100 trainers from 29 states were selected from among 220 applicants in May during a painstaking process.

Trainers competed in the Extreme Mustang Makeover competition for $25,000 Saturday, September 22, at the Will Rogers Equestrian Center - Watt Arena - in Fort Worth. The trained mustangs were judged on conditioning, groundwork, and a "Horse Course" that required maneuvers and included obstacles found in trail and recreational riding situations. Sunday, September 23, the competing mustangs were available for adoption through an oral bidding adoption at the Will Rogers Center.

"Hail Yeah" was adopted for a whopping $50,000, the highest bid ever for a mustang!  This magnificent horse was then given to Ray Ariss so he and "Hail Yeah" may perform as a team in furthering the cause of the wild mustang all over America.

"Hail Yeah" gathered from Palomino Valley HMA
