Stetsen Fedders & Luna

#showdownteamluna

Though one of our younger competitors this year, Stetsen Fedders has a natural talent, coachable attitude and a supportive family. We think he's perfect for Luna, who had to leave the Showdown last year when her trainer was injured. Luna is a quiet and willing girl, and we can't wait to see all the fun they have!

Luna
9-yr-old Mustang mare
13.3-14 hands

Luna is a petite but solid girl, who is also back for her second year in the Dakota Showdown. Last year, shortly after getting Luna under saddle, her trainer was injured and had to withdraw. There was some concern with Luna's hind end as well, however we have now x-rayed her stifles and hocks with no issues and have accepted that Luna is a little post-legged and her movement, as a mustang, is just a little more stiff than your average Quarter Horse. Luna still likes to play hard to catch if not caught regularly, but once caught has solid ground manners. She does tend to test people with catching and farrier, which developed after being adopted for over a year, but we continue to work on that. While small, she's also strong and stocky, but any potential trainers should keep in mind that she will require a smaller rider.

The 2024 Dakota Showdown Teams are working hard this summer. You can help them earn the "Fan Favorite" award by donating now! The team that raises the most will be named the "Fan Favorite".

For even more fun we are holding a White Elephant Ticket Raffle. For every dollar donated you will have a ticket put into your team's jar at the Showdown. There is one large prize to be drawn from the Fan Favorite jar ... and then we'll start drawing for smaller prizes based on amount raised. The team with the least amount of donations will draw a winner first, and the winner will chose a prize. The next amount will have the opportunity to steal their prize or pick a new one. If the prize is stolen, the person who lost their prize can either steal another or pick a new prize.

All prizes other than the grand prize will be in the $20-40 range. Prizes can only be stolen twice; once it is stolen the second time the person keeps it. You do not need to be present to win. If you are not present, you can nominate someone to choose for you or a volunteer will choose a prize for you from the table. Winner to pay any shipping required to receive their prize.
