About four months ago, our favorite Mustang training five-star eventer Elisa Wallace began a journey with a new Mustang in preparation for the Mustang Magic competition that took place last weekend in Forth Worth, Texas. Elisa picked out a flashy little 2019 palomino mare from the Sheepshead Heath Creek HMA in Oregon and dubbed her Dior.
Elisa and Dior had approximately 120 training days together ahead of last weekend’s competition, for which they had to prepare a freestyle routine that would show off their training and partnership. Watch their routine above and you can catch up with Elisa’s training vlogs on her YouTube channel. Despite a little hiccup where one of their props got stuck on Dior’s girth, the pair finished the competition in 6th place.
And auction for all the participating horses is held at the end of the competition and Dior was purchased by a young rider who trains with some of Elisa’s old students in Florida. Serendipity!
