This week’s episode is with first-time NFR qualifier Ilyssa Riley. She launched her 2023 NFR journey last October with a win at the Texas Circuit Finals and kept chasing her goal with her team of outstanding geldings—Money, Champ and Thriller.
We hope you enjoy this conversation and getting to know Ilyssa’s team a bit more before we get to watch her in December!
This week’s episode is brought to you by the REM Mask by Xpert Equine.
ABOUT XPERT EQUINE’S REM MASK
Whether your horse is at a show, a vet clinic or a public stable, the lights are on. They need the absence of light to produce melatonin, allowing for optimal rest and recovery. The REM mask uses blue light-blocking technology to promote the natural production of melatonin for a more restful night of sleep while being exposed to artificial light.
