The Arizona Horseman’s Challenge was created by Jody Swink of “No Sweat” Natural Horsemanship. This colt starting competition is exciting to watch, as all five trainers compete at the same time, in separate round pens, in the same arena. This year features 5 exceptional Arizona Horseman’s Challenge champions from the last five years. The trainers will compete throughout the weekend for the coveted title. Each trainer will work with an untrained mustang provided by Mustangs of America and the Arizona Wild Horse Inmate Program. They will train in 2-hour sessions, over three days for a total of 8 hours. On Sunday there will be a finale to show off what their colts have accomplished and an auction offering the started colts to new homes to further their training. New this year, they will be choosing their mustangs and have their first session at 6 pm Friday, May 11th. This will be an incredible competition to witness. Come learn from some of the best trainers this state can offer. Plan on attending for three days of educational clinics, riding participation clinics, exhibitions, shopping and a lot of fun!
