Friday Video from SmartPak: Lights, Camera, Auction with Elisa Wallace

Ever wondered what it’s like to head to a specialist auction, checkbook in hand? Intimidated by the idea of sifting through hundreds of viable candidates? Five-star eventer and expert Mustang-wrangler Elisa Wallace takes us behind the scenes as she goes shopping for a client in Las Vegas. Learn how she narrows down the options, the dos and don’ts of sussing out suitability, and, of course, the all-important art of bidding.

Though Elisa’s video focuses on a largely Western-based auction, her tips and tricks – and the experience of the auction itself – are much the same as the busy and star-studded event horse auctions at Monart, Goresbridge, and beyond. Busy planning a 2020 trip to find your next superstar? You’ll find plenty to help and inspire you here. If you can’t go eventing, you might as well go shopping, right?
