Here is a note from Julie Phillips the day after she picked up "Jackson Nevada"

Hi Heather, Well he is here !  I have named him Jackson Nevada ! He is a cute little bay gelding, 4yo. very kind eye. I think it is going to go great. now all I have to do is ride him !

This is a little blurb from the foundation:  The Mustang Heritage Foundation is constantly searching for dynamic ways to introduce horsemen and women to the true value of the American Mustang," said MHF Executive Director Patti Colbert. "Al and Ken have been great friends to the Foundation having served as judges in the past and being available to trainers in offering advice and encouragement. With this competition, they'll have a more direct hands-on approach and trainers will be able to get their advice at the event to fine-tune the work they've done in the previous 90 days."
Trainers will be "drafted" at the event to the American League by Dunning of Scottsdale, Ariz., and the Patriots League by McNabb of Cody, Wyo. Trainers will compete in entry level reining, trail, and cow work from rules adapted from the American Stock Horse Association and the Stock Horse of Texas Association. Points will be earned individually and for the team by each trainer, with each coach selecting three trainers per competition element who points will count for the team, as well.
"Another great element to this competition is that fans are going to be able to vote for their favorite trainer through a bracket system on line," said Colbert. "The People's Favorite trainers and mustangs will then compete on Friday night of our competition during a Mustang Smackdown for cash and prizes." Top Ten finals will be held Saturday June 12 at 7 p.m. for individual qualifiers while both teams will compete in a team performance designed by their coach.
All mustangs competing in the competition will be made available for adoption June 13 at 10 a.m. The event is free to the public with the exception of the Saturday night Top Ten finals performance.
