Marisa Lustig

Marisa Lustig is originally from Cottonwood, Idaho. She learned to ride on the family farm at a young age. Marisa started her first colt during high school with the help of friends and family. With a strong work ethic and the colt she started in high school, Marisa attended the University of Montana Western in 2016 and graduated in 2020 with a BS in Natural Horsemanship, BS in Business Administration and an Associates of Science. Throughout her college career, Marisa learned how to put a solid foundation on colts and started several colts in colt classes and on her own during college. Following college, Marisa worked with Amber Mason for a winter. She then began a position at Wagoner Training in the spring of 2021. At Wagoner Training, Marisa continued her education in starting colts and refining ranch horses. Amber Wagoner introduced Marisa to mules and she has loved them ever since and was a natural when it came to working with the mules. From 2020-2022 Marisa began showing in Ranch Versatility through the RMBA as time allowed and plans to continue showing and improving her showing skills. Marisa has been training horses for 9 years and mules for 3 years. Marisa began taking her own clients in 2022, during her time at Wagoner Training. Marisa will be working out of Wagoner Training’s facility in Melrose, Montana for the 2024 training season. These animals will have the best care and will gain many amazing experiences that include solid arena foundation and tons of trail experience!
