The Shadow
Buchanon, Va. (VR) – New Freedom Farm invites the public to attend its fifth annual Freedom Fest 2023event on April 22 and 23. The event is a fundraiser for New Freedom Farm and will bring awareness to the farm’s mission of “healing heroes through horses.”
Freedom Fest will take place each day from 11 a.m.-5 p.m., rain or shine. Daily entry is $8 (adults and children 17 and under free). Tickets are available in advance at www.newfreedofarm.org.
In addition to the exciting vendors and live music, Freedom Fest attendees get to see the famous Mary Miller Jordan perform. In 2010 Jordan was selected as one of 100 trainers to compete in the “Richest Wild Horse Competition” in history, the inaugural Supreme Extreme Mustang Makeover. One hundred wild horses, partnered with 100 trainers, were given 100 days to compete for $100,000. This competition marked not only the beginning of a growing platform from her wins, but also changed her life from a place so deep within, that her entire view of winning has been changed ever since.
Jordan and her first wild horse made the Top 20 in that first wild horse show and then went on to win the national TV show, “America’s Favorite Trail Horse,” a show much like “American Idol,” but for horses, that aired on HR-TV. This mustang was then immortalized as a Breyer Model Horse, “Lindsay’s Faith” Model no. 1704.
Jordan went on to compete in the “Extreme Mustang Makeover” again, but this time she and her mustang partner performed with no saddle and no bridle. That freestyle brought Jordan’s wild mustang winnings to over $50,000 and an invitation to share her wild mustang gentling techniques with the entire world.
Jordan and her wild mustang, Colors, were featured on the National Geographic’s Nat Geo Wild series “Mustang Millionaire.” For more information or to donate to New Freedom Farm, visit https://www.newfreedomfarm.org/.
