EXTREME MUSTANG MAKEOVER NEWS & UPDATES
"Samba was my first 100-day challenge horse, and we took reserve grand in our challenge in 2019. Since then I have gentled and competed with 6 more mustangs.
I still have Samba, she is my go-to for cattle work, endurance, obstacle trail — you name it and she can do it. "
