Client Testimonial I started searching for a smaller home a few years ago. I wanted to downsize yet stay close to my old neighborhood. April worked with me to view several properties over about four years. She was very patient with me. I wanted to see what was out there and where. Once I narrowed it down to what I felt was best for me, we kept a close watch on those areas and nally, I found it!! She was also very helpful in selling my townhouse and I got what I felt was the best offer. House is sold!! She will work with you no matter how long it takes to nd you the home you like best. And to sell yours for top $$$. She understands the market and its quirks. You couldn't be in better hands!!

A pple picking is a time-honored fall tradition here in Virginia.Farms, festivals and roadside stands all cel ebrate the season with “pick your own” and “picked for you” abun dance – something I sim ply can’t resist. And then there’s the apple butter. It wouldn’t be a real Virginia fair or festival without a huge kettle of spiced ap ples bubbling away over a crackling wood fire. Be still my heart. By the bushel or the peck, it’s time to get into the kitchen with your orchard haul. Celebrate the harvest season with festival-quality spiced apple butter that you can make at home in your slow cooker, and whip up a twist on a traditional ap ple crisp with cranberry and walnuts for dessert.
3. Pour into your preheated slow cooker. Cook (uncovered) until the mixture is the thickness and color you like –about 8 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching. Cool. Puree for extra smoothness, if desired.
NICE RICE Fold apple butter (to taste) into hot, cooked rice. To make it even nicer, add some walnuts, pecans, or raisins. Serve with pork, ham or chicken, or curry.
3INGREDIENTSpoundsapples (about 10 three-inch apples)
1.DIRECTIONSPeeland
Swirl chilled apple butter into slightly softened vanilla ice cream and freeze. Great on apple pie. Or pile it into a graham cracker crust and freeze for an ice cream pie.
2. When the apples are soft, mash with a fork. Stir in the brown sugar and spices.
Try it on pancakes or waffles instead of syrup. If it’s too thick for your taste, thin it with a bit of water, cider, or orange juice. Easy!
MAPLE ALTERNATIVESYRUP
APPLE-DAPPLEICECREAM
core the apples then cut into random chunks. Put the chunks and water into a medium pot. Cover. Cook on the stovetop on medium heat until the apples are very soft – about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, mist your slow cooker with cooking spray (do not use butter). Set the slow cooker on high (empty and uncovered) to preheat.

A mong the mountain of fan letters that arrived after Warrenton’s and Mar shall’s Red Truck Bakery founder Brian Noyes published his first cookbook, was a letter from a reader who did not find the recipe for Sour Cream Cake in the book. She would not have bought the book, she wrote, had she known that recipe was missing. She concluded with, “Please advise.” Noyes’s advice: “Check the Contents page before buying a book.” But he couldn’t forget the letter. Never mind the fact that his book is a best-seller in its fifth printing. Or that his locally sourced, seasonally synchronized, made-entirely-on-site pies, cakes, breads, muffins, cookies, granola, soups and sandwiches have been praised by Oprah Winfrey, President Barack Obama, Chef Jacques Pepin, and those peripatetic connoisseurs of road food, Jan and Michael Stern. Nor could he forget that in the fifteen years since the Monterey, California-born son of a newspaper publisher left his day job as a graphics designer for the Washington Post’s Sunday Magazine and began selling baked goods from an old red Ford F-100 pickup truck he bought from fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger, his Warrenton and Marshall shops have joined the small list of American “destination bakeries” that are worth a trip to smell what’s in the ovens and taste what’s just come out. Still, Noyes couldn’t put that letter out of his head. So, just as the pandemic hit, Noyes thought he might put Sour Cream Cake, and other recipes, in a second book. “With more savory things than sweet, and with food that goes beyond what we do in the bakery, that is comforting in a close, family-and-friends kind of way — with stories. If I’ve learned anything about living so long in the south, it’s that people in the south are great storytellers.”

Three years later, Mom’s Sour Cream Cake is one of 95 recipes (more, if you count the variations) in Brian Noyes’s The Red Truck Bakery Farmhouse Cookbook.

The “detail baker” is back and Mom’s Sour Cream Cake is in the contents BY BILL KENT
Each recipe would have a brief story about why this dish, pie, cake or bread was important to him, his family and friends, which would permit him to offer recipes from some of his favorite chefs and restaurants, such Corn Ice Cream, from Ian Boden at Staunton’s The Shack, Wild Mushroom Tartines from Wil liam Dissen of Charlotte, NC’s Haymak er, and a summer gazpacho recipe that friend and Washington Post food critic Tom Sietsma coaxed from a cook at an unnamed “dive” in Georgetown. He would dedicate it to his late grand mother, Willmana Noyes, who used to tell him stories in her kitchen in Hender sonville, North Carolina, and inspired him to become a baker.
To make sure he could make all of his recipes in a reasonably simple kitchen, Noyes confined himself to his 1860 Orlean farmhouse (hence the farmhouse in the title) where he baked the first goodies that he sold from his truck. While there, Noyes slipped and fell on his shoul der. “I was pretty badly damaged, so I had to get my right
Add to that salted caramel apple pie, and what might be Noyes’s masterpiece, a Virginia peanut pie whose initial recipe dates back to the mid 19th century that Noyes worked on obsessively until he got it right. Made with apple cider, sorghum syrup, hickory syrup, hot spiced honey, shredded coconut, crumbled chocolate cake and big roasted Virginia peanuts, the pie’s complicated flavor tastes nothing like a typical corn syrup nut pie and was selected as the best in Virginia in the Thanksgiving 2021 issue of Food & Wine magazine.

Months followed when he made each recipe several more times for the photographs, most of which were done at his farmhouse (some of the landscape photos were taken at the nearby home of folk singer Mary Chapin Carpenter, a friend). Some of the items included in the photos are from his antique collection. Others came from friends. Noyes did not design the book himself, but approved of the result.

One almost miraculous incident occurred after he had finished writing. He had wanted to include a recipe for the Noyes Family Birthday Cake, a white cake with Swiss meringue covered in melted chocolate. He tried to make it himself but the taste wasn’t quite right. He reached out to every member of his family. No one had a copy of the recipe.
“People ask me all the time how many pies we sell for Thanksgiving. I’m happy to say, ‘all of them!’”
“The last time I was in a hospital was the day I was born,” grumbles Noyes, 65. “I told the doctor I used to walk seven miles to and from my job at the Washington Post. He told me that walking all those miles was the reason I needed a knee replacement.”
After the operation, he wrote most of the book one handed. Then his hip gave out while painting the floor of his farmhouse. After a hip-replacement, he was crossing a street in Arlington (where he shares a rowhouse with his partner, Dwight McNeill), and was run over by a bicyclist. That led to a con cussion and, ultimately, a knee replacement.
You can appreciate Noyes’s attention to detail in his sand wiches. Pickle slices give the Red Truck’s meatloaf sandwich a subtle sweetness when eaten cold. He likes food to have an unexpected, if not downright surprising flavor, especially

“Graphic design and baking come together when you consider that how something looks has a lot to do with how you approach it, use it and enjoy it than is immediately obvious,” he explains, pointing to how the horizons line up on the framed photographs hanging on the dining room wall inside his Marshall bakery.
kitchen is very well thought out, the end result of long hours of experimentation and Noyes’s personal taste.
“It’s okay if nobody notices that. I do.” Noyes is a detail baker. What appears to have been whipped up in a country
While a basic pie crust is easily constructed from flour and butter, lard, or shortening, and a pinch of salt, Noyes’s recipe (repeated from the first book) includes an egg yolk, lemon zest and orange zest. This gives the Red Truck pies a dark, firm, slightly tangy crust that encloses the fillings with an added richness and texture.
Then, when moving a stack of books, he dropped the pile and there, some where around the bottom, was Grandmother Wilmana’s recipe book. He found the recipe, baked the cake, tasted it, and managed to slip it into the book.

The pot pies, pork tenderloin, baked and roast chicken, mushroom lasagna and other savory main dishes that would not be served in a bakery might make people wonder if Noyes may be thinking of applying his clean, detail-oriented, ineffably delicious attention to a restaurant.

Fauquier High School’s horticulture programs need your help BY HANNAH SAMLALL PHOTOS BY LUKE CHRISTOPHER E ach year, the Greenhouse and Floral Design II students at Fauquier High School host plant sales in the fall and spring to raise money for the items necessary for their hands-on classes.
“We don’t want the kids to be doing worksheets when they could be working with plants, but it costs a lot of money so the plant sales help defray the costs,” said Susan Hilleary, Head of the Agriculture Department at the school. “It puts everything into more of a business and cost perspective and gives the students a feel for running something professionally.

We don’t want the kids to be doing worksheets when they could be working with plants, but it costs a lot of money so the plant sales help defray the costs. on a new fundraising effort to make site improvements to the program. “This would expand our programming to give it a real farm look by adding emphasis in areas we don’t currently offer hands-on learning for,” Potucek said. “We’re going to be expanding the plant sale to include dif ferent types of native trees, so people can get everything they need for the planting season in one stop.”
foundations towards career readiness for our graduates.”
Susan Hilleary has been teaching at FHS for 15 years, spending the first 12 teaching horticulture classes. In 2020, she moved to teach animal systems and agricul ture mechanics classes. Stephen Potucek is the newest addition to the department, he worked as a landscape contractor for 35 years before making the leap to teach. “I came to Fauquier several times and attended a couple of Susan’s landscaping classes and gave the kids a view of landscaping and I really liked it,” Potucek said. “I applied for the job and Susan decided to bring me on.” Potucek is going into his third year at FHS. Recently, the department received approval to embark
“We have an FFA field that’s been set aside for agricul ture, but we need fencing, electricity, and a barn if we want the students to be able to work there year-round,” Potucek said. “A lot of students in town want to partici pate in FFA, but don’t have the means to take care of an animal on their own. This would allow many more kids to be touched by the agriculture industry. We plan to also include the building trades students who’ll construct the necessary structures and we’ll purchase the materials they need to do so through our fundraising.”
On the horticulture side, additions would include more in-depth horticulture production areas, rather than just the greenhouse that is there now. “With my landscaping background, we’re going to start growing our own trees

We’re going to have a really big fall garden. We started giving produce to the cafeteria last year because they were unable to get certain fresh foods and vegetables due to supply chain and trucking issues,” Potucek said. “This year, we want to be able to provide fresh vegetables to the cafeteria as well as to local food banks and restaurants.”

Obviously, the expansion of these operations and the addition of live animals to take care of would require year-round work. “To help take care of the new facilities, we have proposed a paid internship program for students to work over the summer months taking care of every thing from the animals to the community garden, the small fruit trees, and more,” Hilleary said. w Their fundraising goal for the improvements, plus the intern salary, is $125,000.

“I hadn't even thought about making the table at the time, but I figured the tools would come in handy for projects around the house,” he says. “There was a small miter saw, a SKIL saw, and some drills and drill bits.”
About two months into the lockdown, his wife once again mentioned wanting a dining table. “I literally looked up a YouTube tutori al on the kind of table we liked and now that I had the tools, I set up in our backyard and made the table,” says Wheeler. It was a bit of trial and error, he says, but he learned quite a lot about what to do and what not to do. In the end, he made a beautiful 5-foot farmhouse table with removable legs so they could get it through the door. He and his wife were so happy with the finished project that they loved to show pictures of it to others. Shortly after, a former personal training client of his was moving and gave him an old bed frame that was her

A s a child growing up in England, Jamie Wheeler failed woodwork ing class and wasn’t very good at math. To now be known for building beautiful, custom-made furniture is not something he ever would have imagined. It all started with his wife, Jessica, who wanted a farmhouse table in their home in Marshall a few years ago. “We live in a very tiny house and my wife thought a farmhouse table would look really cool in here, but we couldn't get one through the small front door,” he says. Wheeler had a fleeting thought of making her one himself one day, but he was a personal trainer at the time and was working very long hours. Plus, he didn’t have the tools or the skills, he thought, to do it Thenanyway.thepandemic happened and he was furloughed from his job. A friend of his, also a trainer, lost her hus band just after the start of COVID and offered Wheeler his collection of tools.
From YouTube student to craftsman, Jaime Wheeler of Wheeler’s Ridge Woodworking creates custom farmhouse-style furniture to be treasured for generations.

Through Facebook, someone asked him to make a daybed porch swing. “At the time, I had no idea what that even was, so I Googled it,” says Wheeler. “They were really cool, but I wondered how the heck I was going to make one. Once again, I went to YouTube. I was lucky enough to find a channel that had the build plans as well, but I changed the design a bit to reflect what I thought would look good.”
He ended up taking her advice and started his business, Wheeler’s Ridge Woodworking, in 2021. Through word of mouth and social media, which his wife handles, more people began to seek him out. The more he made, the larger his portfolio grew.

grandmother’s to refinish and sell or keep for himself. “When we went to collect it, she also left me a card saying I should make more furniture. In the card was $500 in cash to buy more tools.”
When Wheeler showed the client his design, she loved it. The problem was, it was quite big and he was working in his backyard under a small 8 x 8’ borrowed pop-up tent. “That literally just covered my workspace because at the time my workbench consisted of a pallet on sawhors es.”

These days, building furniture is his full-time job and he’s expanded his portfolio greatly to include cabinets of all sizes, stove-top covers, cornhole boards, and a large dog crate - basically whatever clients ask him for and that he has the skills to do. Although his specialty is farmhouse furniture, he loves it when clients ask him for different styles as well.
Upon finishing work each day, he would have to put everything away and then unpack it the next day. He man aged, though, and made not only the porch swing, but another dining room table and glider and garden benches in the small space. “October was rolling around and I knew I couldn’t build under this tent in the winter,” says Wheeler. “Lucki ly, friends of mine loaned me some space in their carriage house over the winter, and I was able to stay there from October to March.”
Jamie with his wife Jess and their dog Brutas
Once spring arrived, he was back outside. “I knew I needed more space. I couldn’t build the bigger pieces under this tiny little tent, so we ended up buying a 10’ x 20’ party tent with sides. It keeps the worst of the weather out, so that's what I'm in right now.”
“I like to see what they come up with,” says Wheeler. “It keeps it more interesting and challenging. Just be cause you don't see it in the collection of things I've made already doesn't mean I can't or won't make it.” What he enjoys most about what he does is his clients’ de lighted reactions when they see the finished pieces. “Knowing I made it and to see their expressions - that’s the best.” Many of his clients are from the local area, like Warren ton and Middleburg, although one Seattle man wanted him to make him a daybed. The shipping costs were too prohibitive though. He and Jessica, an English teacher at Liberty High School in Bealeton, met on Twitter six years ago and in 2017, Wheeler moved to the U.S. to marry her. The couple loves going to farmer's markets to see what other local businesses are producing. “We also like to visit local breweries and wineries,” he says. One day, Wheeler would like to have his own little shop and be able to make even bigger and more complex piec es. He also hopes to develop a personal relationship with a local lumberyard instead of buying wood from big-chain stores. He really wants to support another local business while growing his own. w To see some of his beautiful pieces and request a custom piece of furniture of your own, go to Wheeler’s Ridge Woodworking on Facebook and Instagram.

Broad Run author Rosemary Groux weaves history and fantasy into captivating tales BY JAYA PATIL PHOTOS BY LEIGHANN GROUX
“I grew up with horses, riding them, taking care of them year-round, I was in the Casanova-Warrenton Pony Club [so] a lot of my summers and spare time outside of school was spent around horses,” Rosemary said. Trail riding is one of her favorite ways to spend her time.

About the Books
jokingly call myself my own worst publicist because I don’t talk about my books with my friends,” said Rosemary Groux, who published her first fiction novel in 2013. “There are several who have not found out about them until we’ve been friends for several Rosemaryyears.”wrote her first books, the fantasy-adventure-magic themed Bren wyd Legacy trilogy, while she was in high school, wrapping it up in 2015 at 19 years old. Now, at 26, she has just released her fourth novel, To Wake a Kingdom. Her mother LeighAnn said, “Even though her books are classified as Young Adult, the story appeals to readers from 8 years old to 80 years old. They are really good stories, classic good vs. evil tales. They are positive, affirming, and the characters have to struggle to overcome obstacles and fight for freedom.”

Rosemary’s interests, which all come out in her writing, include Celtic and English history. There is also a marked Christian theme running through her stories. LeighAnn said, “She has a strong faith, and she’s very active in our church.” Also surfacing in her novels are talking animals, a nod to her childhood with horses and affinity for all animals.

An avid reader from childhood whose favorite authors included CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien, Rosemary said, “Writing down my story ideas wasn’t something that occurred to me at the start. When my mom first suggest ed it, I dismissed it because I was young at the time and I read all these books and [thought], ‘other people write books, I don’t write books.’ But once she suggested that, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. One day I sat down, and it continued from there.”
She has done some interviews and spoken at events but, when it comes to writing, she says, “It’s something that I do when the inclination takes me. I know the technical defi nition is author, writer, and I fulfill those criteria. It’s odd to think of myself that way because I still think that J.K.

Animals all around I’m not a hugely extroverted people-person so dealing with animals was a bit more natural in some cases,” said Rosemary, who graduated from Berry College with an ani mal science degree and minors in history and creative writ ing. She is now studying to become a veterinary technician. Rosemary’s mother was raised with horses, so it was natural for her and her sister to get involved at the barn during their childhood. “I grew up with horses, riding them, taking care of them year-round, I was in the Casa nova-Warrenton Pony Club [so] a lot of my summers and spare time outside of school was spent around horses,” Rosemary said. Trail riding is one of her favorite ways to spend her time. She has plenty of experience riding, but she said, “I’m not competitive with my riding, I do it more for enjoyment.” Right now she’s doing the nitty gritty work with small animals for her school program, but is hoping to wind up working with horses again once she’s licensed. “I like deal ing with animals directly, I like nursing care,” she said. The spaces you love “I’ve lived and grown up in the same house all my life. The neighbors that we did have were mostly family. The outside was always accessible. It was a great place to grow up,” she reminisced. They live on 11 acres in the middle of her grandfather’s cattle farm in Broad Run. “I’m very attached to Virginia,” she chuckled, “so I don’t see myself moving.”
You won’t find Rosemary scouring the bestseller lists for her name, pushing her way to the front, or grinding to exhaustion. Instead, you’ll find her strolling with her horse on the trails behind their house, calming anxious animals at the clinic, or bringing life to the characters she envisions.

Besides literal location, Rosemary has an eye for the beauty of where you are now. “I feel like there’s a big push in our culture today about reaching for your limits and going for your dream, doing the best you can possibly do, but is that always the best thing you can do when you’d be fairly content living and being where you are?” she mused.
Now, Rosemary finds herself at the tail end of her latest book release, To Wake a Kingdom. “This one, which has a Sleeping Beauty base, was supposed to be a short story that I was writing as a Christmas present. I’ve done that often for family members; I’ve asked them what their favorite stories are, and I write a short story for them that I think they’d like. I was getting towards where it was supposed to end and it didn’t feel right, like there should be more, so I kept going and it got considerably larger,” she joked.

Rosemary relates to some of the great authors who sug gested they just gave words to worlds that already existed. “I grew up reading a lot of different books and it grew organi cally out of that. Some of my favorite stories gave me ideas, and I came up with a main character for my first books, and then, trying to flesh her out, that whole story came about.”
“I’m content to go along with what I have, and the books are [something] that I do as I want to,” she said. Keep a look out for what she surely has in store–she has a knack for a good story, or, as her grandfather says, “a darn good yarn.”

irginia is horse country, and Fauquier is smack dab in the middle of it. Among the variety of show horses, event hors es, and foxhunters, tucked in The Plains you’ll find Grey Lady Farm, Eric and Nancy Rizer’s Thoroughbred breeding farm where they breed and raise racehorses.
Off to the Races
A FAMILY FARM
Twenty-two years ago, when the Rizers were raising their two boys in Marshall, Nancy wanted another child. Ric said, “I told her, ‘I’ll tell you what…let’s get horses instead.’ In retrospect, it might have been cheaper to have a child,” he laughed. They bought the initial portion of the farm, 56 acres, in 2000. Ric, who had been around horses all his life, brought home two pregnant Thoroughbred racehorse mares that were in foal to a Thoroughbred stallion with rac ing lines and told her, “Just wait till you see these babies and their little noses. You’ll love them!”
At about 10, they started handling the mares during the breeding process while Ric handled the stallion. “We had a two-kid-and-dad breeding operation and we did great and
Nancy said, “Honestly, I was a little resentful at first. I knew nothing about horses at all. Nothing. But I grew to love them. I was really interested in learning everything about them, and how to take care of them. I learned a lot from my husband, and also from our veterinarian and reading and researching.” Now she’s the main person caring for all the horses. And there are a lot of them now.

At Eric and Nancy Rizer’s Grey Lady Farm in The Plains, homebred race horses live their best lives.

The boys, Nick and Alex, have been involved in the farm since childhood, and Ric and Nancy are proud of the horsemen they have become. Ric pays them the highest compliment there is in the horse world: “They are both very quiet and calm ing, with good hands on horses.” “They got broke in early,” Ric laughed. “I started to take them with me to deliver foals when they were about six.”

Breeding horses is part algo rithm-there are computer programs that analyze the past performances of the lineages of the mare and stallion and grades the possible success of the offspring-and a good part instinct.
“We truly care about each one of these animals. And they truly are living beings, they all have their own personality. They’re all wonderful in their own way. We follow them for their whole lives,” Ric said. All of the Rizers’ horses are raised on the farm, and are delivered either at the farm here or at a partner farm in Maryland. They spend their first two years at home learning basic gentling, getting used to people, getting groomed, getting used to the farrier picking up their feet.

THE LIFE OF A GREY LADY FARM HORSE
Ric explained, “If I’ve got a horse that has gobs of speed, I try to breed to one that’s got a good record over distance. If you’ve got that speed and you put that distance behind it hope fully you really have something. I like to look at the horses too. If you have a longer backed horse you breed it to a shorter backed one.” It’s also a lot of research. Every year, The Blood Horse, a comprehensive directory of Thoroughbred stallions, is published. “It’s huge, it’s like a phone book,” said Nancy. “When it comes out, Ric and Nick will fight over it.
THE BREEDING OPERATION

Nick will memorize it from front to back, and while they’re commuting to work in the city together they spend the whole way arguing about which stallion each mare should be bred to. It’s almost as much fun as trying to name the foals when they’re born.”
So whose idea was it to get into rac ing? “Not mine!” Nancy laughed. Their farm manager, Floyd Faulkner, had the original idea, and they thought, “Why not?” Which, of course, circles back to Ric’s admission that another child might have been cheaper.
Fast forward to today, and the Rizers have 40 horses on the farm they built themselves, including six pregnant Thoroughbred mares who will foal in the spring. Six of their homebreds are racing this year, including four-year-old Princess Kokachin, Laurel's 2021 Winningest Horse; three-year-old Sparkle Sprinkle, Virginia's Champion 2021 two-year-old filly; four-year-old Subject to Change; three-year-old Stronger Than Dex; four-year-old Lit tle Sir John; and three-year-old Tulip Lil who is just starting. Over the years, the farm and the racehorses have always been a labor of love, and, Ric said, “Most of the time there wasn’t any money to be made. But last year we did extremely well, and this year started off really well also. It’s paying for itself now.”
The Rizers don’t keep a stallion at this point, but they breed their mares to sires after carefully researching their lineages and analyzing what qualities the offspring may have.
“Every day is a teaching experience,” Nancy said. When they are two-year-olds, the horses go to train ers in Kentucky to be introduced to being ridden and begin their racing training for about 3-4 months, and then they are sent to trainer John Robb at the racetrack in Laurel, MD., who takes them the rest of the way in their careers in racing.
had an excellent reputation. We had a couple vets send us horses because they couldn’t get them in foal at other farms and we had such a good success rate.”Their boys are adults now, and both live within a few miles of the farm. Nancy said, “When the mares go into labor, everyone gets a phone call, and everybody comes running. It’s exciting.

LOOKING AHEAD So what’s in the future for Grey Lady Farm? Nancy said, “A couple of years ago, we actually decided to take a year off from breeding. I think we were both thinking of drawing down a little. I’m retired, Ric’s at retirement age, so he can do that. But then all of a sudden Nicholas, he wants to take over the farm one day. He comes in with this list of mares and stallions to breed to. And I en couraged that-I want to see him do that. My other son is good with the equipment, tractors, Nick is great with the horses, and together I think they’d make a fantastic team to take it over one day.”
Thoroughbreds, on average, only race for a few years. What happens then for the Grey Lady horses?

But the word “retire” is relative. When Ric retires, that means he will retire from his job in the city. Ric and Nan cy live on the farm, and don’t foresee changing anytime in the next 20 years. “We’ll always work on the farm and we’ll stay very active in it. We’ll still keep the cameras in our bedroom that we use to watch the pregnant mares as they come close to foaling,” Ric said. Nancy added, “As blessed and fortunate as we are now, we never quit, we never gave up. We had some tough years, some really tough years. It’s just …we just contin ued to work hard, and we really love our animals. We’ve had so many triumphs, but we have had a few heartbreak ers. It’s part of it.” w

“We bring them home,” Nancy said simply.Assoon as a horse shows any signs of infirmity, it is retired from racing. Some of the mares Ric and Nick will keep as broodmares. Most of the others can go on to second careers as show horses, jumpers, or maybe foxhunters. “That’s why those first two years at home with us are so important. They need to learn to be gentle from the beginning so they are easy to handle when they retire from racing. We find the best homes for them that we can. We’ve been so lucky and so blessed with the homes we’ve been able to find. We’re very picky,” explained Nancy. Those that don’t or can’t go on to a second career? “Any horses I can’t find good homes for will live out their lives here on the farm, and be buried here. That’s why I’ve got close to 40 horses now,” she admits. The Rizers are in it for the life of the horse, not just the racing career. “It’s not about the money. It’s about the horse, and letting them have the life that they need,” Ric explained.

We try to follow our horses through their lifetimes, but sometimes we don’t have total control once they leave us. Once, through the racing grape vine, we heard that one of our homebreds, Like Parker Dreamt, had been sold at an extremely low price at a Thoroughbred auction. Well, Parker was the most beautiful all-black horse that you ever saw. For him to sell for so little, he had to look awful. It took us about 8 hours of phone calls and running around all over the place until we found him. I called his new owner, and I said, “What do you have to have for him?” He said, “$350.” I said, “I’ll be down tomorrow morning to pick him up.” We brought him home and nursed him back to health. While that was a sad experi ence, fortunately we’ve found it to be rare. We have certainly found that there are more good people in horse racing than bad, contrary to modern belief. There are good and bad in every walk of life, but from our perspective, the people that we know and meet in the racing community truly love and care about their horses. Now Parker is living his best life. After his full recovery, we gave him to a little girl across the street. She absolutely fell in love with him. We told her she could have him as long as she took care of him.

Three generations come together in Warrenton to
n August, Robyn Thompson, the daughter of the community leader and civil rights activist Eva Walker, helped town officials declare the Eva Walker Park Commemorative Garden open to the public.
Fauquier County deputies help deliver baby along James Madison Highway T wo Fauquier County deputies helped deliver a healthy baby boy in the line of duty on August 13 after a mother in labor was forced to give birth along James Madison Highway because she could not make it to the hospital in time, according to a press re lease from the Fauquier County Sheriff's office. Deputy First Class Zachary Lawrence and Master Deputy Sheriff John Clubb helped with the delivery and made sure the baby’s airway was not obstruct ed. After a few moments, the baby started to cry, and the deputies reportedly wrapped him in blankets. EMS arrived on scene and took over care for the baby and mother and provided transport to Fauquier Hospital. The baby and mother are doing well.
In the 1980s, Walker convinced the owner of the property on which the current park sits, Dr. Aaron Gerber, to donate the site to the town and turn it into a public park. The field was named Alexandria Park until it changed to Eva J. Walker Memorial Park following Walker’s death in 1982 at the age of 48.

R ebecca Segal will take over as CEO of Fauquier Health starting Sept. 6. Segal replaces Tony Young, who has been serving as interim CEO at Fauquier Health for the past several months. Segal earned a bachelor of science in business administration from University of Mary Wash ington and a master of health administration from Virginia Com monwealth University. She was previously CEO of Rutherford Regional Health System, a Duke LifePoint facility in Rutherford ton, N.C. where she "made strides" in recruiting more physicians, expanding access to primary and specialty care throughout the region and improving patient safety and experience. She also oversaw a $17 million master facility renovation plan. “I look forward to joining Fauquier Health and to serving the employees, patients and community in Warrenton,” said Segal. “Being from Virginia, coming to Fauquier is a home coming for me and I am excited to get to know the team and work towards advancing the care and services we provide here and fulfilling our mission of Making Communities

Walker, a Fauquier native who lived in Warrenton’s Haiti neighborhood from the 1950s through the early 1980s, spearheaded several campaigns to improve the historically segregated Haiti neighborhoods by requesting the town allocate money toward public infrastructure, safety and recreation. Her passion project was building a park so the neighborhood children could have a place to play rather than in the streets.
The master plan was funded by the town of Warrenton and the PATH Founda tion. The garden was funded between AARP and Plan+Place. Additional support was provided by the Walker family, Fauquier Habitat for Humanity, the Afro-Amer ican Historical Association of Fauquier County, the First Baptist Church of Warren ton, the Piedmont Environmental Council and the Warrenton Garden Club.
