Smokey wants you to know today is your LAST CHANCE to apply for the chance to work with him (or another of the great horses) this summer through the Dakota Showdown Horse Trainer Challenge!

 
You will have 100+ days to work with this lovely 5-yr-old reservation bred Mustang to help turn him into an adoptable horse. He's a flashy, athletic, smart, fast little guy (standing about 14 hands) who is in the Foundation Division - meaning the goal is to give him a solid
 
Foundation of ground manners and basic skills, and maybe a few rides before the finale. Work with him, teach him, and then come back to
 
Yankton on August 24-25 to compete, show off his new skills, and help him find a home!
 
Trainers compete for prizes and 50% of the adoption fee, which is set through an auction process to approved adopters at the Finale.
We are interviewing trainers now but there's still time to apply to be considered! Apply by midnight tonight!
