This year’s Christmas celebration we are sponsoring donations to three non-profit organizations that focus on children. TETRA has a history of working with children, introducing them to wagons, horses and life in the past. To honor this past, we selected the following non-profits to sponsor:
- Casa of Bell and Coryell Counties. Court Appointed Special Advocates-casabellcoryell.org-working with children who are experiencing home and family issues
- ROCK-Ride On Center for Kids- a non-profit organization that provides equine assisted services to children, adults and veterans with physical, cognitive and emotional challenges.rockride.org
Donations will be split evenly between the non-profits. We are gifting these non-profits instead of a gift exchange.
Join us for a fun filled weekend, in celebration of the Christmas season and TETRA’s 25th anniversary. Come connect with new friends and from the past.
Saturday’s fun will start with a guided trail ride at 9 AM- retuning at 11, afternoon ride on your own. Sunday guided trail ride will start at 9:00am.
Activities include a Christmas dress up for horse and rider with awards for best in show! Best decorated campsite, Christmas lights at home (trailer) or cabin, with judging and prizes for the best entrees.
Saturday evening catered meal-Big Hoss BBQ, Killeen.
Saturday, auction items on display. Through Debbie Sannwaldt’s efforts, we have excellent sponsor donations. And a return of adult gift baskets. Adding to this, is two corn hole games, two Adirondack chairs (assembly required), Dallas Cowboys ice chest, humidor, and an electric fireplace. Live auction in the evening, after dinner.
