TRAIL RIDE, 1: Saddle up, pardoner and get ready for a 
Spring Break ride of a lifetime ... on Passport to Texas
______________________________________________________

Passport to Texas from Texas Parks and Wildlife 

If you want something different to do with the family, 
consider the fifth annual Spring Break Benefit Trail 
Ride at the Hill Country State Natural Area March 14-16. 

The only thing we ask is that you do bring your own 
horse. We do not have horses for rent. :05

Debbie Alley, a member of TETRA, the Texas Equestrian 
Trail Riders Association, is one of the event organizers. 
She says don't fret if you lack experience in the saddle.

We've had people show up that had never ridden before -- and 
didn't know the front of a horse -- and you ought to see all 
the people all around them trying to help 'em. And then 
we have people that have ridden since they were knee-high 
to a grasshopper. And they're the ones over there helping 
the new ones. :14

Parents are encouraged to bring their children.

We hope that kids will show up. We cater to the children. 
We go out of our way to make sure that they get what they 
need. Like, we have short rides. We have a ride in the 
morning. Then we come back to camp and we have a ride in 
the afternoon and we come back to camp. That way, if the 
children get tired, they can stay in camp and not wear 
their parents out by getting bored. :21

We'll have more on the ride tomorrow. Find event details 
and costs at passporttotexas.org.

That's our show ... For Texas Parks and Wildlife ... I'm Cecilia Nasti.
