Mule to Compete in Richmond, Virginia

On Septmeber 21 in Benton, AR a trainers challenge was held at the Arkansas Horse Fest. "Mule" Thornbrugh of the Double Diamond T Ranch in Winslow, AR succeeded in winning the event.

The challenge, patterned aft RFD's Road to the Horse, paired three horse trainers with three untouched horses. The trainers were given three one hour segments in which to work with their horse over the course of three days. Each segment was monitored by judges and the crowd, and scored according to how well each trainer progressed with their horse using only natural horsemanship techniques.


The trainers were Mule Thornbrugh of Winslow, Charles Pelham of Etlan, VA and Moses Woodson of TN. Each trainer is an established clinician with his own brand of horsemanship.

Mule will now go on to the Equine Extravaganza National Finals in Richmond, VA October 31 through November 2 to challenge the winners of the trainer challenges recently held in North Carolina and Illinois and to see who will join East Coast Trainer Challenge Hall of Famers Tommy Garland and Ed Dabney.
