a story about the many different jobs horses can do and
received a surprise visit from

making a horse craft using cardstock, clothespins and yarn.

Polo may be for pretty women and dapper gentlemen but
at
Prestonwood Polo
in Oak Point, Texas, it’s for casual
family fun and their popular tailgate section is the place to
be! Pictured following a Prestonwood tournament are Team
