I added a new page to the VanAlstyneHomes.com info/links page for Van Alstyne Area Equestrian Information. If you know of a place I haven’t mentioned, a link to something important or would like to comment on one of your favorite horse activities, just leave me a comment or let me know.
When we first moved here we would ride the back roads. It’s still something we enjoy but we discovered so many other activities, horse organizations and places to ride in the immediate area. Before the Yellow Rose closed, I always wanted to ride into town, tie up by the grain store and have a nice cold milk shake. Sadly both are gone now but someday I might just show up at the Braums drive through window.
There are many good reasons for living here and buying a home on a few acres to enjoy your horses is just one of them. Some people have horses for pasture ornaments, never venturing off their property but if you want more, there is plenty to do. If your horses are trailer ready there are numerous shows, parades, an occasional home town rodeo and trails to ride within an hours drive. One of our favorite trail riding places is Platter Flats just across the Red River and it’s only a short drive to Lake Ray Roberts or Lake Lavon for more riding fun.
Just do a little Google searching or pick up a Lone Star Horse Report at one of the local grain stores and you will find all kinds of nearby activities. Short of that click on the link above and you will see information about my favorite areas to ride, horse info and horse organizations. Until then, Happy Trails !
