Our Young Gun, **Penelope Rex's** mom, **Darcy Rex**, has become so much more than just a "show mom!" She's been an incredible part of our club, helping plan events, volunteering behind the scenes, and always jumping in wherever she's needed. We truly couldn't do it without her, and we're so grateful for everything she does!

Now she's bringing her professional photography talents to our races! 🤩 From heart-pounding runs to candid smiles and unforgettable moments, Darcy captured what she could at the Luke Reinbold Horsemanship Clinic and the Frontier Frenzy - Regional Championship EXCA Race.
