FRC student Samantha Moore is all smiles as she hugs her new mare Daffodil. It can be very difficult for the students to part with the horses they have been training and working with for so long. Samantha was a lucky one who got to take her mare home with her after her mom purchased the filly for her.
A group of FRC students wait outside for their turn to present their horses to be auctioned off while equine instructor Chuck Mills examines the sale catalog. The highest selling horse went for $15,750, with a sale average of $6,900.
