Re: [RC] Fwd: AERC Convention in San Antonio - Sky RanchThanks for the info -- and if anyone is looking for Sequin on the Texas map ... it's really Seguin. <grins> And yes, D&D is a HUGE store. Last time I was there was a long time ago; it was mostly western stuff, though. Maybe they've branched out into more "english" tack, now? Sure would be great if they had endurance saddles, etc.!

I thought I might mention a few things to do in my home town of Boerne that is just 1/2 hour northwest of San Antonio if you have the time (and a car). Boerne is an art town, so you'll find quite a few galleries: the Carriage House Gallery, www.thecarriagehousegallery.com (ok, I'm one of the artist and owners too) the Highland House Gallery, and the Garden Path Gallery. All of these are just off Main Street and have several paintings and sculptures of horses. If you are in the mood to see an old west town, visit Enchanted Springs Ranch www.enchantedspringsranch.com (ok, I ride my horse there some weekends and play cowgirl) And for a little farming history, visit the Agricultural Heritage Museum www.agmuseum.org (ok, I am the president of the organization). But enough about me. Where is a good place to eat in Boerne? My favorite spot in the world is the Dodging Duck Brewhaus. You have to really like good hand crafted beer though to enjoy it. They have tables outside by the river, or sit up at the bar and meet some new friends. www.dodgingduck.com The food is very refreshing - I like the Heart of Boerne Salad. A new restaurant that is also great is The Creek. For Mexican, try El Chaparral. If you like antiques, you can't beet all of the shops Boerne has to offer. If you like fancy clothes, you'll love shopping at the many boutiques. www.boerne.org Best horse store in the area? Come on now, I know who I'm talking to, you don't care about the fancy boutiques, you want tack. Check out D & D in Sequin, about 1/2 hour East on I-10. It is the biggest horse store you can imagine. If you've never been to San Antonio, you're in for a treat. The weather has been beautiful all winter. Today was about 77 and sunny. It is uncommonly warm for this time of year, but I am enjoying it. The river walk will amaze you - a bit touristy, but unforgettable. If you are leaving the snow behind, congratulations. Stop in and say hi at my booth while you are there.
