Three top 10 finishes for NLH: NLH assistant trainers

Lauren Sarnowski and Rhiannon Schneider, and Suzanne’s daughter Brooke Myers all competed with mustangs at the most recent Extreme Mustang Makeover Eastern Stampede held at the Miller Collesium in Murfreesborough, TN on October 23-25.  Roughly 100 trainers participated in the process of gentling and then training a wild mustang for competition in both in-hand and riding courses.  Nearly a year ago, Suzanne competed in the MidWest Mustang challenge with a beautiful grulla gelding she named Jazz and won against 50 other trainers from across the country.  This time her daughter Brooke and two assistant trainers accepted the challenge and quickly took the lead in the preliminary round.  In the Idols division Lauren was first in the in-hand competition on her 4 yo sorrel mustang Durango and Rhiannon was third on Kerwin, out of approximately 30 trainers. In the riding course Rhiannon was first and Lauren was fifth putting them 1st and 2nd overall in the preliminaries (seperated by only a quarter point) and leading the pack by 10 points.  Brooke was 3rd in youth division preliminary round (among 28 trainers) with her yearling mustang Jacuzzi. All three of NLH’s best moved to the top 10 freestyle division where Lauren placed 10th, and Rhiannon 6th in the Idols coompetition, and Brooke took Reserve Grand Champion in the youth division. A job well done ladies!
