No RASS Show Results, But Other News!

Good morning,

We hope that everyone was able to enjoy the gorgeous weather we had this past weekend in Maryland! We had a wonderful weekend at the farm. There was lots of riding in the beautiful weather and many trail rides by RAF team members.

While we don't have any RASS show results this week, we do have some show results from the Collegiate world!  Ashley Foster and Kimmy Saul were competing at the NCEA Nationals in Waco, Texas.  This year, Ashley's school, Auburn University, won!  Go War Eagles!  We found out that Ashley even made it on Twitter!  We wanted to wish congratulations to all the young women that participated this weekend.  Fine job ladies!

The RASS show crew is home this week and then they head to Lexington, Virginia for two weeks. We wish them good luck! Stay tuned for show results! 

For now, here are some more photos from around the farm taken by Pam:
