🌽🦃🌻🐴Today we send our love & gratitude 🌽🦃🌻🐴Today we send our love & gratitude to friends who show up and get their hands dirty, those who we honor your anonymity while you pour so much into our children daily, those who  cheer us from the side lines, those who have inquiring minds and lend resources to us to enhance our mission and those who provide so that our horses can be cared for so that our children can continue to have a safe space to enjoy.

“It takes a village to raise a child.” And we at FSURC continue to be testament to this old African proverb. 

We are grateful for everyone who has invested & supported our work of giving kids an alternative and a safe space. 🐴💙🌽🦃

Six African Americans were honored for their individual and collective contributions to the advancement of equestrian sports, and who are from families where excellence in equestrian sport has spanned more than one generation. The honorees were from throughout the U.S, and the youngest was 13!
🤠
It was such a superb experience for the kids! We are so grateful to Roberta Wilmore co-founder of ETHOS Awards for the invitation and friendship. 🐴🏇🐎

What a beautiful way to get our children to think, write, be creative and organized  in their thoughts outside of the traditional  classroom.

"What sits behind the gate, however, is something "What sits behind the gate, however, is something that time and technology can’t seem to hold a torch to. There is endless love and devotion here. And any person, horse, cat, chicken, or goat lucky enough to make its way to Fletcher Street is absolutely welcome with open arms. And once there, it’s safe to say your membership is guaranteed, for life."

!!!! SOMETHING EXCITING !!!! Someone just let us !!!! SOMETHING EXCITING !!!!

Someone just let us know that Herr's is sponsoring a contest for a new Philadelphia-themed potato chip flavor, and "GREGORY D.", one of the three semifinalists, has chosen the Fletcher Street Urban Riding Club as the charity he'd like to receive the prize of $10,000 if he wins!

Gregory's entry is "215 Special Sauce". Please consider voting for it, sharing the contest with your friends, and asking them to vote for it and share it too.

It would be fantastic if the Club could win the $10,000!

Thank you for considering voting and sharing. (And thank you, Gregory D., for choosing the Fletcher Street Urban Riding Club as the charity you'd like to receive this big prize!)
