THE MUSTANG HERITAGE FOUNDATION CREATED THE EXTREME MUSTANG MAKEOVERS (EMM ) AND OTHER WILD HORSE EVENTS TO SHOWCASE THE TRAINABILITY AND VERSATILITY OF WILD HORSES. EXPERIENCED HORSE TRAINERS PICK UP A WILD HORSE, TRAIN THE HORSE FOR 100 DAYS AND THEN COMPETE FOR EVENT INCENTIVES AT AN EMM EVENT. THE TRAINED MUSTANGS ARE THEN AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE OR ADOPTION THROUGH A PUBLIC AUCTION. THERE WERE 2 EMM EVENTS PRODUCED IN FY 2021 THAT INCLUDED 6 DAYS OF COMPETITION, 2 PLACEMENT AUCTIONS. 99 HORSES WERE PLACED IN TO PRIVATE CARE THROUGH THESE EVENTS. WITHOUT A PROGRAM LIKE THE EMM OLDER LESS COLORFUL ANIMALS WOULD BE MOVED TO LONG TERM GOVERNMENT CARE COSTING TAXPAYERS APPROXIMATELY $24,000 PER ANIMAL OVER THAT ANIMAL'S LIFETIME.


IN 2020-2021 OVER 3,378 MUSTANGS AND BURROS WERE PLACED THROUGH THE TRAINER INCENTIVE PROGRAM. APPROVED TRAINERS PICK UP WILD HORSES OR BURROS AND GENTLE THEM TO MINIMUM GENTLING REQUIREMENTS. UPON GENTLING, TRAINERS SOLICIT QUALIFIED ADOPTERS OR PURCHASERS AND RECEIVED FINANCIAL INCENTIVES FOR EACH HORSE OR BURRO SUCCESSFULLY PLACED IN TO PRIVATE CARE.
