<strong>FRC</strong> Community Outreach<br />

March <strong>2018</strong>:<br />

Grading & Gravel at Harmon Field Show Office<br />

One of the perks of being an <strong>FRC</strong> member is that a portion of your membership dues goes to<br />

support our Community Outreach Program. A central part of the<br />

mission of the Foothills Riding Club is to promote the understanding<br />

and enjoyment of equestrian activities for our community. We<br />

achieve this in a variety of ways, and most recently, the <strong>FRC</strong><br />

partnered with Hyder Construction Company to grade and spread<br />

gravel around the Harmon Field show office. No one liked to slog<br />

through the mud in white breeches to check in before the show, so<br />

this project was proposed to help with the puddles that had<br />

accumulated after such a rainy year!<br />

Hyder did quite a bit of grading to improve the drainage around the<br />

show office before<br />

spreading gravel that<br />

will help reduce the erosion around rings caused<br />

by foot traffic. The work done will prevent the<br />

mud from returning in the future as well. The<br />

total cost of the project was around $1000.<br />

Harmon Field manager Lewis Pack was very<br />

pleased with the upgrades. This project not<br />

only benefits the members of the Foothills<br />

Riding Club, it will benefit everyone who uses<br />

the facilities at Harmon Field. A huge thanks<br />

to our board member and Community Outreach Chair, Hatsie Goodrich for putting this together!
