Episode Details

Not every rider has access to the perfectly bred, professionally produced sport horse. Many are figuring things out with the horse they could afford, learning as they go, and trying to build a partnership along the way.

In this episode, 5★ event rider and trainer Elisa Wallace shares what she has learned from producing horses many others overlook, including Mustangs and off-the-track Thoroughbreds. Alongside competing at the highest levels of eventing, Elisa has built a career developing unconventional horses into dream ones.

In this episode of "No Stupid Questions," we discuss:

• How to evaluate a horse when shopping on a budget
• The red flags riders should pay attention to early on
• The first steps to building trust with a new horse
• How to rebuild confidence after setbacks
• Signs your horse is progressing, even when improvement feels slow
• What unconventional horses can teach riders that highly produced horses cannot
• The book Elisa would read to the horse world - Four Square by Lucinda Green

For riders navigating the journey with one horse, modest resources, and a lot of determination, this episode is a reminder that your dreams are possible with the horse you have.
