Twenty-five talented horse trainers are needed for the Wyoming Mustang Challenge to be held in conjunction with the Wyoming State Fair, on Friday and Saturday, Aug. 15 and 16, in Douglas, Wyo.

The deadline for applications is April 1.

The Wyoming Mustang Challenge pairs up 25 qualified horse trainers with wild horses provided by the Bureau of Land Management. The trainers then have 100 days to train the horses before competing for $10,000 in prize money. After the competition, the horses are available for adoption to qualified adopters, with a percentage of the adoption fees going to the trainers.

The Mustang Challenge rules and regulations and the trainer application form can be found on the Mustang Heritage Foundation's Web site at www.mustangheritagefoundation.org/adoptions.php or by calling 512-355-3225.
