“The city has a designated riding trail along most of its ‘old town’ streets,
so it w as easy to map that out, realizing that these horses had likely never
seen anything like that before. The rural trail challenge included trails that
the folks here in Norco ride frequently, but again, could be a challenge for
a young horse.”
A total of 25 horses, all mares,
made their way to the competi-
tion -- four of them with foals
by their sides ranging from three
weeks to two months old.
In honor of the youngsters, The
Mustang Heritage Foundation
hosted a $2,000 Mommy & Me
class complete with a baby
shower.
Taking the win in that class
was Mustang Sally and her
three-week old filly Delilah, a
whimsical, confident little bay,
Being Delilah trained by Bob Mundy of Norco, and winning $800.
Although Delilah is all mustang, that day she was all ham!
Taking a commanding lead early on in the competition was Lanny Leach
of Tucson, Arizona, riding a three-year-old brown mare he named Soso.
The duo was the high scoring pair at the conclusion of both series and the
heavy favorites going into the finals.
“Soso has one of the biggest hearts I’ve ever seen in a horse,” said Leach,
who along with his son, Logan, operates a training center in Tucson and
had competed in the 2008 Extreme Mustang Makeover in Fort Worth.
“She’ll make a good horse for someone and already shows a lot of
potential.” 23
