KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (AP) — A Klamath Falls woman who works as a hairdresser has a tougher job on the side — taming wild mustangs.

The Herald and News reports that 44-year-old Vanessa Hansen is able to take a mustang accustomed to running wild and free and transform it into a reliable riding horse in three months.

Hansen trains horses when she’s not working as a hairdresser at the Crimson Iron, her beauty salon in the town of Dairy near Klamath Falls.

Last year, she trained a 3-year-old mustang she named Tuff Enuff and entered the horse in the Extreme Mustang Makeover competition.

Her showing was good enough to qualify her for the Mustang Magic competition at the Southwestern Exposition and Livestock Show in Fort Worth, Texas, later this month.
