Newt is a 3-year-old mustang gelding from Diamond Nevada. He was my randomly assigned draw for the 2022 Extreme Mustang Makeover in Fort Worth Texas.
We picked up in May and had approximately 120 days to tame, train, and compete with our mustangs September 8-10. Trainers and mustangs spend the time preparing for a handling & conditioning class, trail class, and maneuvers class. Top 10 competes Saturday night and a competitive bid and auction follows the makeover.
110 trainers picked up initially for this competition, 55 made it to the event.
Newt and I made the Top 10 landing 6th overall in the Prelim classes. We had steady compulsory and freestyle classes which gave us a great placing overall of 3rd. He is going to a really good home in California.

Thank you Newt for being my favorite mustang that I've had the pleasure to train. I hope our paths will cross again at some point.
