The HGF Top Ten Auction and Open House is now history and was a success on many different levels. 400 people attended the Open House to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Lakeshore, and the children were delighted with the ice cream bar, and the special riding acts prepared for them by Molly Reynolds and Rhianna Pankhurst. Handler Tom Reed impressed the crowd with his abilities in the ring with stallion Bolero and fielded many questions from a very interested audience. Head Trainer Maria Lithander rode the young stallion Idolo Americano in his first appearance at an Open House. Chef Frederic prepared his now-famous paella to the delight of all.
