FPF had an awesome( but HOT) week at Culpeper. We are so proud of all our "first timers" and how well they performed on a bigger stage. It was extra special to see marina and R'tesian back in the show ring after their long hiatus. A huge thanks to Katie, Maya, and Lauren for all their help wrangling children and ponies and helping us maintain our sanity! We are truly thankful to have such an amazing group of parents around us who definitely made the week run smoothly. MVP award to Jeff Friedrich for grilling the whole crew lunches which allowed us to stuff our faces without missing a beat. Lastly thanks to Laura for holding down the fort at home and keeping things running smoothly while we were away!

The show at GRC on Sunday was a resounding success, with our riders delivering outstanding performances despite the sweltering heat and late hour. Cathy Chester McErlean and Protege deserve special recognition for their impressive win and champion ribbon. Furthermore, our "short stirrup crew" members, Avery and Delaney, demonstrated remarkable skill and focus in completing two courses and participating in large hack classes, even at the late hour of 6:30. Marina's tireless efforts in supporting our team are greatly appreciated. Cathy Chester McErlean
