Trainers!! Time is running out!!

Only FIVE DAYS LEFT to apply for this year's Dakota Showdown Horse Trainer Challenge!

 

Apply now: https://www.dakotashowdown.com/trainers

Work with a horse ready to start under saddle (Showcase), a young BLM Mustang (Foundation) or a yearling in the Rising Star Division (which is open to anyone 12 and above)

 

Check out the potential horses here: https://www.dakotashowdown.com/2025-teams

Trainers work with the horses from beginning of May to August 24-24, when they return to Yankton for the Finale and exhibit their progress. The horses are adopted to approved adopters through a bidding process and trainers keep half the fee and compete for prizes.

 

We are limited to only 6 trainers per division and have several applications, so get your application in to be considered!
