Meet Mrs. Frye! ✨
If you've ever stepped foot in the PES Equestrian Center, you've likely seen Mrs. Frye in action—whether she's guiding students through their first encounter with a horse, coaching the Show Team, or coordinating top-tier clinics with equestrian professionals.
With 9 years at PES, 10 years in Higher Ed, and 15+ years of teaching riding, Mrs. Frye brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to our students.
This year, she’s loved supervising the Living Lab "employees" during their first year working at the Equestrian Center—a hands-on experience that blends responsibility, learning, and a love for horses.
Some of Mrs. Frye’s favorite moments are when she has the chance to introduce students to horses during classroom field trips! She works closely with teachers to connect these experiences to classroom learning—whether it's farm animals for JK, animal habitats for kindergarten, simple machines for 2nd grade or vertebrate animals for 3rd grade.
And beyond all of that, Mrs. Frye recently checked off a major bucket list item—traveling to Ireland with her husband! PES is so fortunate to have her passion, expertise, and dedication guiding our students in and out of the arena! 🐎
PES would like to thank our exceptional Bronze Partners for supporting our 2025 Time to Blossom Annual Auction.
