The summer show circuit at Foxtrack Training Center here began May 29 with 10 new fences and a fresh coat of paint. After 24 years, Foxtrack’s color scheme (red on red) was finally broken, and the volunteer crew introduced some new color schemes to brighten up the hunter and jumper rings.

A new jumper ring was added, and owner/director Mel Wyatt said, “Hey, I’m a certified three-ring circus now!”

Karen Donaldson of Carthage judged the adult ring, Charlotte Castle of Southern Pines handled the juniors, and Monica Zimmerman of Laurinburg pinned the jumpers. For information on camps, shows and upcoming events, www.foxtrack.net
