In 2024, Caligula Dekker was handed a lifetime ban that shook the global professional hobby-horsing community. Two years later, he is back. Kenneth Chews was granted unrestricted access to follow Dekker’s intense preparation for the 2026 World Cup. What follows is a raw and delusional descent into the mind of a man who believes he has outgrown the stick.

Mustang is an investigative mockumentary exploring the price of greatness and the weight of a God complex within the high-stakes world of elite hobby-horse racing.
