...Because it is a fun thing to do!
Many of us get into horses because we love them, love
to ride them, breed them, show them, learn about them,
and just be with them. Once we begin this journey, we
discover that we also make lifelong friendships with
other horsemen who enhance the fun
of the experience. There is an endless
amount of learning connected to having horses. You might want to ride
a particular sport better, learn
the latest veterinary advances in breeding, or
simply learn how
to purchase and
evaluate hay.
Horsemen
are always
expanding
their knowledge of horse related things.
Judy and Walter Henslee
of Rancho Del Lago in
McDade, TX have invented
a way for everyone to have
fun, learn, show, and make
new friends at the same time.
They also structured the cost so
that it is affordable for everyone.
This all-encompassing event is
called Mayfest. They have become
so good at hosting Mayfest, it just
celebrated its 10th
12
anniversary. Through the years we have discovered that
this venue is the perfect way to introduce new folks to
our incredible breed. If we want our horses to become
more popular and saleable, we should follow Walter and
Judy’s lead all
over the country.
