| Team R&M Performance Horse L to R Watson, Robert, Madeleine |
Saturday was the last day of the final competition for Watson and Tango in the Extreme Mustang Makeover. One last painting of the two will close the door on their series. I’m going to miss painting Tango and Watson. According to Robert Carlson Tango missed the finals by one point. He was adopted to be the working mount of a Park Ranger in Wyoming. I have a feeling Tango is going to love being back in the wide open spaces.
Watson was the real surprise. Robert Rode him to a 7th place finish but wowed the gathering by bringing a whopping $5400.00 in the adoption auction. He was the highest bid horse of the entire proceedings times 3 according to photographer A. Spivey who was there photographing the event. Madeleine and Tango came in a very respectable 12 out of 40. Tango is going to his new home as a park ranger horse in Wyoming
Next week I start painting the R&M Mustang Program’s Supreme Extreme Mustang Makeover horses.
You can see photos and videos from the Ft Collins event on the EMM page on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/pages/Extreme-Mustang-Makeover/65575491400
You can see photos of Watson and Tango and their trainers at the event on the R&M Mustang Program page and on Lightening Bug Creek Photos.

Celebrating the Half way point in the Mustang A Day Challenge:
On Tuesday of this week I will reach painting #130 in the Mustang A Day Challenge. To celebrate I was planning a give away to start Saturday and run through the drawing time on Tuesday. The first 20 to type in HALFWAY on the page would be entered in the drawing.
Well a surprising thing happened. In the first 7 hours of the giveaway we had over 28 entries. Since the rules stated I had to close the entries at 20, I decided to hold a second chance give away. So here are the rules for the Second Chance drawing.
