In the first photo, you’ll see Marisa Ahola with her Quarter Horse gelding, Tyler’s Deluxe. “Marisa was showing the walk trot division at the Hanover Hunt and Riding Club Horse Show in Hanover Massachusetts,” says her mom, Ruth Ahola. “Marisa is nine years of age here.”
The second photo is from the 2022 NSBA World Championship Show, where Marisa and Straight Tequila Nite, also known as “Lila,” made their debut in the Three Year Old Non-Pro Western Pleasure classes. Marisa, who resides in San Diego, rides with Arturo Maestas and Jesse Jones in Pilot Point Texas.
