Eloise is a 3-year-old Quarter Horse mare in training with Bryan Roselles for the 2025 Dakota Showdown Horse Trainer Challenge. Smart, athletic, and growing into a strong mare, she’s been building on her solid foundation and is now going nicely under saddle.
She’s had the benefit of riding out in the beautiful Black Hills and around cattle—including some impressive longhorns! Eloise is a quick learner, a willing partner, and ready to take her next steps with the right rider.
Loads daily and stands patiently
Walk/trot/lope under saddle
Comfortable riding out in varied terrain
Worked around cattle and ranch settings
Good with longhorn cattle exposure
Solid ground manners and easy to catch
Eloise is still a young and green horse, so she’ll do best with an intermediate rider—or someone working closely with a trainer—who can continue her education. If you’d like to keep working with Bryan or another Showdown trainer after the competition, reach out to discuss options, as most are happy to help.
