STILL REELING! ๐คฉ๐๐บ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ฝ
What a night! Last Saturdayโs International Cup presented by Tractor Supply Co. was one for the record books โ 850 people filled the arena, and together we raised more than $40,000 for the Raise the Roofs fundraiser benefiting Friends of Franklin Parks!
Just. WOW. โค๏ธ
On the field, Team Mexico, co-sponsored by Cielo & Jones Properties, fought a tough match against Team USA, sponsored by O.H. Ingram River Aged Bourbon. In the end, Team USA pulled ahead with a 13โ7 victory, securing their THREEPEAT! ๐บ๐ธ๐๐๐
Congratulations to our award winners:
โญ MVP: Wes Finlayson, sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim
๐ด Best Playing Pony: Harley, played by Jesus Sanchez, owned by Aaron Barrett, sponsored by Tennessee Equine Hospital
And what a trophy presentation! A special thank-you to our Trophy Sponsors, The Country Boy Restaurant in Leipers Fork and Grayโs on Main in Franklin, for helping make the celebration one of our best yet. ๐
The fun continued at halftime with our always-popular Stick Pony Race, sponsored by WOW Windowboxes. The kids brought plenty of energy and smiles to the arena! ๐๐จ
