One of our many goals here at Forever Branded is to offer opportunities to grow our fantastic community. And one of the ways we do that is by partnering with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and aspiring trainers to get horses out of holding facilities.

While many training competitions exist, Branded Bonanza builds upon the success of Mustang Mania, created and hosted by our very own Matt and Stacie Zimmerman since 2016. The goal of this competition is not to "win," but rather offer an opportunity for the trainer to improve their horsemanship and the horse or burro to gain the skills they need to be successful in their new, domestic life. As a trainer or spectator, you will gain access to a true community of supportive folks just like you who are here to see to the success of these formerly wild horses and burros.

Our sincere hope is for you to have fun as part of this competition (however you choose to participate) and to come out of it with a sense of accomplishment and renewed love of America's wild horses and burros. Why? Because that is what will ensure growth in our community, growth in adoptions, and the BLM's ability to sustainably manage our wild horse and burro herds.
