We spent the morning doing beach cleanup at Surfside with Texas Adopt-A-Beach and Garner Environmental Services. These girls picked up a lot of trash and rescued a washed-up jellyfish! We think they rescued it. It’s hard to know. It was quite the adventure!

Our second annual horse quiz bowl contest is on Saturday, November 21 and registration is OPEN!

This is a great opportunity to try horse quiz bowl because you do not need a full team. We will form teams from those who register without full teams.

Awards will be given to the champion teams in each age division. Everyone leaves with a gift from our club for participating!
