Pin Oak Charity Horse Show – College Fair
Thursday, August 16 2012
4th Annual THJA College Equestrian Fair “Getting on Track” ‒ How to Become a Potential Candidate for a College Equestrian Team…and more! (Houston, TX) ‒ The Pin Oak Charity Horse Show is known as one of the largest and most prestigious horse shows in the country. With a legacy of 68 years of helping children, and a leader in giving, Pin Oak has donated more than $4.5 million to help build Texas Children’s Hospital’s Main and West Campuses. Seven years ago, Pin Oak created an educational field trip, inviting 1st and 2nd grade school children to the show for a “behind the scenes” barn tour to foster a passion for horses and excite young children about the world of equestrian sports.
