Crossed Wires

Mark Burnette and his Mustang
Well, I guess someone got their wires crossed. Mark Burnette was suppose to be interviewed on "Talk of the Town" on 1340 WBIW this morning but they had Military Recruiters on there instead. My Son called to ask me if I was trying to get him to join the military, since he had read my last blog and was dutifully listening to the show this morning. So now I don't know when the show will air or if it has already aired and we missed it.

I did get some of the pictures of Mark and his Mustang ready to post here but I haven't edited the videos yet.

We were very impressed by Hoof-Hearted (think about this name being announced at the Extreme Mustang Makeover and you will understand the joke). He was already named when they got him but Mark and his family call him Buddy. He is heavy boned, thick legged, Mark said that he is sound and has a lot of stamina. He has a natural low head set and is friendlier with strangers than Mustang Sally was. Mustang Sally was the horse that Mark trained for the Midwest Mustang Challenge.

Buddy has a nice head, a kind eye and a nice sized ear for a Mustang. He is also a decent sized horse, Mustang Sally was a tad too small but Buddy is big enough for a man to ride but also not too tall for a height challenged person to own. So if you are in the market for a good trail horse and you are going to be at the Extreme Mustang Makeover Auction, then you should take a look at Buddy.

Here are some more pictures that I took, but I didn't take many still shots, I took mostly videos. The last picture below is my DH riding Buddy before Buddy's long trip to the Fort Worth, Texas competition.

Extreme Mustang Makeover

Our trainer, Mark Burnette is now on his way to the Extreme Mustang Makeover held in Fort Worth, Texas on September 18-21, 2008. More than 300 Mustang Trainers will be competing on 3-4 year old Mustangs that they have been training for the last 100 days.

We went to see Mark and his 3 yr. old bay gelding, Hoof-Hearted, also known as Buddy, go through their last day of training before their trip. I took some pictures and videos that I will try to get posted on here as soon as I can. But I wanted to post this tonight for those who live in the area, so you can listen to an interview with Mark on "Talk of the Town" tomorrow morning at 8:30 on 1340 WBIW.

I got to handle Buddy a little bit today and my Husband rode him. He is going to make whoever gets the highest bid at the auction at the end of the event at great horse.

More on Mark and Buddy later...
