How long to train a wild horse?

Can a wild horse usually be trained in only a little over 3 months? I always thought it took a year or two to train a horse. I'm asking because of an article I was reading earlier about the Mustang Heritage Foundation's Midwest Mustang Challenge. This is a competition sponsored by the federal Bureau of Land Management. Trainers have 100 days to train a wild mustang and then they are presented for judging and can be adopted by the trainers later this month at the Midwest Horse Fair in Madison, WI.

A wild horse can be trained in any manner of different lengths of time based on how good the trainer is and how perceptive the horse is. What the horse must be able to do would also be included to some degree. I have watched many exhibitions by John Lyons about breaking a horse using the round pen in a matter of hours. Now they are usually imprinted at birth and handled, but if a regular horse takes only hours you can imagine a wild horse would indeed be possible in three months.

I think it would take more time to tame the horse than train it. If the horse is tame, or easily tamed, it can be easy to train it if you know what you're doing.
