NO LAND - NO HORSE
This is the slogan of
the Equine Land Conservation Resource (ELCR).
I can think of over a dozen stables where I have boarded
and ridden horses in the Houston area that have been
plowed under to make room for a
residential or commercial site.
ELCR is campaigning to save the open spaces,
lands, etc. necessary for riding and horses.
