    TCSP has invited us to bring our horses to Lamar HS Band practice in an effort to help desensitize them to the chaos of HS bands during parades. The band will practice from 8 AM to noon, but the best time is about 9:30 AM. We will meet in the parking lot of the high school. We have also been included in an invitation to do a practice parade around the neighborhood on July 2nd. 

    This is a great opportunity, whether for a July 4th parade or in anticipation of FWSSR Parade in January.

    Join us on one of our favorite trails. This does have lake access to swim your horse, so bring a lead rope. There is a place to unsaddle and take your horse in. We are starting these rides super early to beat the heat. If you cannot make the early ride time, you can catch up at the lake. Bring water for yourself, and maybe a snack. We will let the horses dry before we resaddle and ride back to the trailers. 

    This is aptly named Rocky Creek, so shoes or boots on your horse are recommended if they get tender. 

    Boots in the stirrups by 8:15.

    Call Judy if you are running late! 682-916-2260
