Come join us for our annual ride at Inspiring Oaks Ranch. Located 8 miles west of Wimberley. Easy access, plenty of parking on solid rock and 1200 acres of riding. The ranch is rocky with some hills, very scenic. It is recommended that horses be shod or wear protective boots. Wagons are welcome.
We'll begin check in at 4:00 PM on Friday Oct 12. Ride out on Saturday morning at 9:00 am and return to camp at noon. Ride out again at 1:30. Sunday morning ride out will be at 8:30am.
Camping will be primitive with no hookups available. There will be plenty of water for the horses. There is a cabin and a room available for rent for the weekend. The cabin has a full kitchen, two bedrooms, a living room and bathroom, is private, and is located away from the camping area but near enough to participate in activities. The room, located in close to the trailer area, has a full bathroom as well,but no cooking facilities.
Friday night stew will be served at 6:00 p.m. till gone. Saturday night pot luck meat will be provided by TETRA . Coffee and tea provided with the continental breakfast Saturday and Sunday mornings. Lunch will be on your own.
On Friday night, the Lone Star Dutch Oven Society will provide cobbler for dessert. On Saturday night, a DJ will be present playing all the CD's anyone brings. We plan a 50/50 raffle, the winner gets 50% of the pot. This money helps allay the cost of this ride.
Each ride is guided through several pastures and riding out alone is not allowed. Please be prepared to ride at the appropriate time.
The ranch asks that all dogs be leashed.
Coggins required.
Day riding fee is $30 and the weekend fee is $40 for TETRA members and $45 for non TETRA members. Contact Tom Gridley at tgridley@wildblue.net for room/cabin rentals. Contact Mary Littlefield Devine at palagensia@gmail.com for ride information.
