Molly's Saddle Giveaway š
Millie and Mesa š¤
Iām Millie, an 11-year-old homeschooler, animal lover, and girl with BIG barrel-racing dreams! Iāve been riding for about 3 years, and in March 2026, my lease owner, Wendy, asked me to come look at a horse. That horse was Mesa. When we brought him home, Wendy said, āMillie, I think this horse will be yours. You two will grow together.ā She was right.
We quickly discovered Mesa was scared of almost everything on the farm the goats, pigs, alpacas, and anything that wasnāt a horse! But he wasnāt scared of ME. So we began building trust. I worked with him every chance I could, helping him become braver and more confident.
Mesa had never run barrels before me. At first, he was even afraid of the barrels! We started slowly walking, circling, figure eights, then trotting. Now we canter the pattern!
Weāre growing together every day, and our partnership is built on trust, patience, and never giving up.
Winning this saddle would mean so much to us and our journey ā¤ļø
