Meet Dewey: The Overachiever with a Heart of Gold
#ShowdownTeamDewey | Trainer: Alexis Louis
Dewey started his Dakota Showdown journey as a Foundation horse… but he had other plans! Friendly, eager, and full of try, Dewey progressed so quickly that he moved up to the Showcase Division, joining the big leagues with his calm, can-do attitude.
This 3-year-old BLM Mustang gelding is likely pushing 14.3–15 hands and still growing into those long legs. He prefers people over other horses, happily choosing the domestic life, and he’s already shown he can thrive in a variety of situations—including being ponied through the Black Hills!
Easy to catch Leads, loads, and ties Good for blankets, fly spray, and the farrier Started under saddle Gentle and willing with a steady mind Perfect project for someone to continue building confidence and skillsDewey may have fewer rides than some Showcase horses, but his natural curiosity, kindness, and willingness make him a standout. He’s looking for a partner to keep him learning and growing!
Dewey will be available for adoption at the Dakota Showdown Finale on August 24 in Yankton, SD. Apply now to get pre-approved to bid:
