THE CONCEPT of the ATFO IS SIMPLE: This event is making More Horses HIGHLY adoptable. Many of these horses have been abandoned or neglect. The ATFO turns them into awesome equine partners through pairing them for 100 days with trainers across America. For 100 days, trainers work with their horse making him an accomplished, willing equine partner, and the pair competes on the 20-22nd of August in Winfield, WV with a skill, obstacle course and freestyle portions.
The trainers stand to show their skill with difficult cases. The horses stand to gain knowledge that go with them into their adoptive homes, showing what rescues are capable of for many years to come.The prize package for the ATFO this year is better than ever! Judges this year are tentatively: Josh Lyons, Patrick King, Michael Lyons and Yvonne Barteau .
