HELP URGENTLY NEEDED!!! Wildfires have been erupting throughout Texas and bordering states in the past week.
The worst of these fires has destroyed more than 600 homes in one catastrophic blaze 16 miles wide that continues to burn across Bastrop County, near The Horse Boy Foundation in Elgin.
The Horse Boy base in Elgin, Texas has become such a popular place for working students that we have decided to invest in a new barn to house them all.
This week heredled the arrival of something very exciting at The New Trails Centre aka Horse Boy Central - Eckie, a dutchwarmblood who was very kindly given to us by Royal Equus Farm.
On August 26h - 27th The Horse Boy Team (Rupert, Kristin, Iliane plus volunteers and two of our horses) will be at The Houston Abilities Expo.
We are pleased to announce that one of our mares, Breac, is approx one month pregnant.
The sire of her foal is Uivador Da Broa from Pen Llyn Lusitano Stud & Riding Centre in Wales. Uivador is the only purebred Veiga stallion in the UK and his quality was recognised at both the International Festival of the Lusitano Horse in 2008 (when he won Champion Male) and the Lusitano Breed Society GB Show in 2009 (when he won Champion of Champions). Several of his progeny have gone on to win youngstock and partbred championships showing the quality of the breeding at Pen Llyn.
The Horse Boy Team was honored to be invited to attend Maggie's Hope Fox Fit weekend in the last few days.
We are proud to announce that Spirit (our 6 year old Mustang) had his first trip to downtown Austin to help us raise autism awareness a couple of weeks ago...
