Mollee Wilson has achieved significant success and numerous awards showing quarter horses, but the lessons she’s learned from the work and the relationship that she’s developed with her grandma mean more. The 2004 High Point All-Around Youth award winner from both the Wyoming Quarter Horse Association and the Center of the Nation Quarter Horse Association, Wilson has both learned the trade from and shared her accomplishments with the woman who shares her birthday.
“Grandma and I are really close, and we’ve been going to these things for years. Sometimes my family, my mom and dad and brother and even my grandpa can’t make it, but my grandma always goes,” Wilson said.
Wilson started working with horses when she was in elementary school and has continued with the competitions ever since. Her current horse is named Saturday Night Asset but Wilson calls the gelding Mike. Now a senior at Laramie High School, Wilson said she will show with Mike next summer but doesn’t know if she will continue once she is a student at the University of Wyoming. Wilson wants to study education and become a physical education teacher.
