Six Colorado horse trainers will show their mustangs in a competition at the Meeker Sheepdog Trials Friday. They had 100 days to turn a wild horse into a rideable steed. KDNK’s Amy Hadden Marsh has this report about how one trainer even taught her horse to bow. The Meeker Mustang Makeover show and auction begins at 5:30 PM Friday, September 6 at the Rio Blanco Fairground. Click here for videos from all six trainers.
