United States Eventing Association

Cayla Stone always had a talent for young horses and is a big advocate for the “underdog,” so over the years her eventing barn has been filled with rescue horses and off-the-track Thoroughbreds. In 2012, she acquired a mustang on a whim and competed him in the Mustang Heritage Foundation’s Extreme Mustang Makeover competition, where participants are given 100 days to prepare a wild mustang that they randomly draw for classes that will showcase the horse’s new skills. At the end of the competition, the mustangs are available for adoption or purchase.
