Copied from August 2009 Horse & Rider magazine.
"The American Paint Horse Foundation needs your help to provide new or gently used cowboy boots to young riders. The non-profit organization recently joined forces with Camp Carter YMCA in Fort Worth, Texas, to educate children about horses and get them in the saddle. Once Camp Carter's needs are met, the boot drive will be extended to help other groups.
Both children's and adult sizes are needed. Send your donated boots to: American Paint Horse Foundation, "Leg Up On Life", 2800 Meacham Blvd, Fort Worth, TX 76137"
I could not help but pass this along to FoxTROT, even if it is sponsored by another breed! Sounds like a great cause. I love to get kids on horses! Let me encourage you to support this effort as you have opportunity.
Happy Trails,
Sam Gerhardt
President, FoxTROT
