What a wonderful day – even with a little rain. We enjoyed a great ride followed by a delicious lunch, along with plenty of raffles and many happy winners throughout the day. This is truly one of my favorite days of the year. I cherish the opportunity to ride, spend time with friends, and meet new ones. It means a great deal to me.
I am incredibly grateful to Kathy Scarallo and her team for organizing such a wonderful event, and a special thank you to Jenny and Diane for the fantastic job they did with the food. We are also very thankful to everyone who sponsored raffle prizes and other items.
I would also like to extend my appreciation to Kathy Edgell for helping Bob manage the farm on Saturday morning, together with Hailey’s assistance. We are so fortunate to have such amazing volunteers, and we simply could not do what we do without them.
Many thanks to Jessica Schabert for working with Tobias at her place for a few days in order to prepare him for the ride, and for hauling Tobias, Walker, and me, to the event. Tobias did wonderfully and he will, one day, make someone a truly fantastic horse. I rode Walker and I’m so incredibly proud of him as this was his first time off the farm, and he handled it beautifully.
Thank you, as well, to Lynn Lawrence for arranging this event once again this year, and many thanks to everyone who participated. All in all, it was a truly blessed day.
