Elisa had a successful weekend at the Poplar Place Farm Horse Trials in Hamilton, GA, where she competed three talented young horses, Traveling Light, As You Wish, and Sweet Maggie and earned a place in the ribbons for all three.

Owner Holly Hooper and family celebrate Sweet Maggie's 4th place finish at the Poplar Place November Horse Trials

As You Wish (owned by Katie Bartz) performed consistently over the weekend. The pony once again demonstrated that size isn't everything, as he finished 6th in the Open Training Division. Expect to see much more of As You Wish in the coming months, beginning with the Pine Top Horse Trials on November 26-27, where he will be ridden in the Novice division by owner and Team Wallace student, Katie Bartz.

The Poplar Place Horse Trials also marked the competition debut for Sweet Maggie (owned by Holly Hooper), who showed tremendous potential in all three disciplines to earn a 4th place finish in the Open Novice division. We look forward to seeing much more of Sweet Maggie in the months and years to come.

Lastly, Abigail Griffith, a student of Elisa's, showed William H. Bonney (aka Billy) in the Junior Beginner Novice division at Poplar Place. This was a landmark weekend, as it represents Abbey's first Horse Trial completion. William H. Bonney (aka Billy), who demonstrated his ability and affability with a junior rider is currently for sale. For more information, please visit Billy's sales page HERE.

Full Team Wallace competition coverage from the weekend is available below. Elisa's next event will be the Pine Top Farm Horse Trials over Thanksgiving Weekend (November 26 - 27, 2011).

For your viewing pleasure, we have also just uploaded some helmet cam footage from the weekend's cross country runs. The air was crisp and Poplar Place Farms was breath-takingly beautiful with the trees displaying a vibrant array of fall colors. This is the next best thing to being along for the ride.
