Molly's Saddle Giveaway 🐎
Penn State's Western Equestrian Team's horse, Elvis 🤠
We are Penn State's Western Equestrian Team! We are a coed, roughly 20-member, team that competes in IHSA Horsemanship, Ranch, and Reining. We are lucky enough to train at Eagle Valley Equestrian Center and use their wonderful lesson horses. The lesson horses at Eagle Valley have taught us so much, and we'd love to give back to one horse in particular, Elvis.
Elvis has been there through every tryout, lesson, and Home Show, graciously carting us around on his back. We thought, what better way to give back than to win him his very own saddle with Molly's Custom Silver, a brand we wear every day!
