Description

This episode is with Marissa Wells, who just became a 10-goaler in arena polo, a dream she's had since childhood. We talk about what that moment felt like, the years of consistency it took to get there, and what comes next. Marissa is great, a good friend and my first ever guest!!

We get into everything from $800 horses to bodybuilding prep to what kind of horses are actually best for arena.

Key topics we discussed:

  • The moment Marissa found out she hit 10 goals and what it meant after a lifetime of dreaming about it.
  • Why consistency matters more than talent at the top levels of polo.
  • Her surprising take on training horses for arena versus grass.
  • How bodybuilding and polo have started to overlap in her life—and why she could never do arena on prep.
  • What it means to be a role model now and the advice she gives to the next generation of young girls in polo.
