Brooke Myers is a big talent in a small package!

Since her first memories, she has followed her mother, Suzanne Myers, M.S., Ph.D., founder of Next Level Horsemanshipâ„¢, in her horse training duties. At age 3 Brooke was given her own pony, Apple Gray, who is still at the farm and ridden by Brooke.

In 2008, Suzanne Myers won the Midwest Mustang Challenge with Jazz, a wild Mustang. She was the first woman to ever win that event. Receiving a wild Mustang that had never even been touched, having 90 days to gentle it and train it, then travel back to Madison, WI, to show what training skills the Mustang had learned in front of a large and loud crowd in an arena, was a challenge in itself. Fifty-six trainers from all around the country participated…Suzanne and Jazz WON!

One year later, Brooke wanted to do the same thing with a wild Mustang. At the age of 9, and with her parents’ encouragement, Brooke received her first wild mustang after a friend and fellow competitor hauled them in from a holding facility in Ewing, Illinois. Each Mustang was assigned to competitors by random draw so Brooke didn’t know what mustang she was going to receive! Brooke would have to train her mustang, who she later named Jacuzzi, in groundwork to prepare for the 2009 Extreme Mustang Makeover, Eastern Stampede, Murfreesboro, TN. Jacuzzi was a yearling at that time.
