The Missouri Mule Makeover is a 150-day competition that takes top trainers and pairs them with top, untrained mules. It challenges these youth and adult trainers to build a foundation and connection, and see what they can accomplish together. The trainers and mules work together through the summer and return for two days of competition at Ozark Mule Days.

Follow the trainers and mules progress all summer on our Facebook page. Deadline to apply to be a trainer is March 1.
