Welcome to the first annual Texas H₂Oasis Mustang
Mare-y Christmas Barn Tour!

Thank you for being an a-filly-ate of Texas H2Oasis, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with three missions: * Environmental Education, * Land / Water Management, * Creation of Eco-Sanctuaries. Texas H2Oasis (texash2oasis.org) rescues, ground-trains, and adopts out mustangs, the treasured symbols of American freedom and independence. Since Texas H2Oasis is wholly dependent upon donations, thank you for attending the first annual barn tour and supporting this mustang rescue!



Tour five premier barns of the Driftwood / Dripping Springs / Austin area in this sequence:



1 (12:00-1:30) Bel Canto Over the creeks and through the fabulous Hill Country to a barn that combines hunter-jumper and dressage horses, the Dripping Strings ensemble playing Christmas carols, catered tapas by the Silk Apron, plus a chance to win a Riding Lesson package. Suzanne Warmack, 3901 Mount Gainor Road, Dripping Springs (512) 797-1178.

2 (1:00-2:30) Graymar Farm Local community leader Penny Reeves-Goff has graciously opened her “horse n’ human friendly,” English and Western barn to visitors. Note the 70’ covered, round pen and outdoor show arena with gorgeous pasture views. Trainer, Larry Hileman, will present mustang training demos at 1:30 and 2:00 with Jake, the wonder mustang. 175 Darden Hill Road, Driftwood (512) 296-1059 Ω

3 (2:00-3:30) Royal Kings The newest barn on the tour, it features 20 European styled stalls, old-world woodwork, an indoor wash rack, and four outside wash racks.
