The third annual event that showcases and auctions wild horses is on Aug. 28.
Applications to be a trainer for the Meeker Mustang Makeover are open until April 1. Trainers will look after 3-year-old wild horses or yearlings (1-year-old horses) and get them ready for the competition and auction.
âItâs not easy,â said Deirdre Macnab, a rancher who is also a spokesperson for the event. âA lot of these horses are untouched by human hands.â
Event organizers, all of whom are volunteers, are looking for trainers for 20 wild horses from the region. They will be given 120 days to coach the horses.
