Kerr of Hico, Texas, is one of five Mustang trainers that will be featured in the three-part miniseries that documents the road traveled to compete in Mustang Million 2013, the richest, wild horse training event produced by the Mustang Heritage Foundation in partnership with the Bureau of Land Management. Mustang Millionaire is produced by ABC News' Sixty Six Media for Nat Geo WILD.

Patti Colbert of the Mustang Heritage Foundation is overwhelmed about the opportunity to showcase these horses. "We are proud and honored to have a Mustang and a wonderful representative of the Mustang Heritage Foundation on national television."
