Elisa Wallace is traveling back home after this year’s Mustang Magic competition with a handful of awards, a huge smile, and a little mare whom she was successfully able to adopt at the conclusion of competition.
Going into the final day of competition, Elisa and Hwin were placed seventh overall on a total score of 139.5. For the final round, each finalist was required to complete a freestyle showcasing the horses’ newly learned talents. Although Hwin was a bit keyed up, Elisa shed her tack and showed off the bond the two have created in just a few short months, to the delight of the crowd.
After the freestyle competition, the judges marked Elisa and Hwin down for a 18/30 and a 17.5/30 for horsemanship, and these scores helped Elisa take home a fourth place ribbon as well as the award for Fan Favorite.
