She continues her work in dressage and presently competes one horse at the Prix St. George level, as well as a number of young horses at the lower levels.
King Oak Farm offers boarding, training and lessons; and since 1982 has been the site for the two recognized horse trials for which she serves as organizer. The farm is also the site of a recognized dressage show, which Fran manages. Recently she has begun to import KWPN horses for sale.
