I spent a wonderful day today at the Winter Meeting of the Heart of Texas Morgan Horse Club, at the lovely farm house of a friend and club member in Coupland, Texas. We had a great time, talking and getting caught up (members are spread all over Central and South Central and Southeast Texas), and making plans for the club for the coming months, especially the annual HOTMHC Open Fun Show being held in Seguin April 16.
It was 15 years ago this coming June 1 that HOTMHC was formed in my living room in Austin (before we bought the ranch and moved out here) at a meeting of Morgan enthusiasts. It's been a long, wonderful trip, forging many friendships that would otherwise not have come to be.
It made me think about all the things that sharing your life with horses brings about, not the least of them is enduring friendships. And, in my case, a career in real estate, with a specialty in horse properties, which has led to even more relationships with those who share my equine passions.
Central Texas and the Austin area is full of horse clubs for various breeds and disciplines. If you're moving here, and you want a way to make friends and become part of the community, join one, and get involved. You'll have new friends in no time, friends who share your interests and understand, as I do, when the barn is more important than the house!
