Location: N. Texas | Well, with all of this going on in Austin, I thought now might be the time to post this- does anyone actually live there or in a place where I could keep a horse for a night? I have to take my fiancee's calf horse down to Corpus Christi, and I am meeting a friend on the night of the 12th, and would love to have a SAFE place to put his horse- does anyone have any ideas? What about the fairgrounds? Thanks! |

Location: N. Texas | Thank you for the help so far. I thought the angels were cute, I guess you need to have prayers when you go down to Austin, huh? I actually have a meeting down there, so will be down in Austin all day, so thats why I was trying to find a place for his horse. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Thanks! |

Location: N. Texas | Thanks! Is the civic center you are talking about right off of 1-35 on the East side of the road? If so, I remember coming back from Corpus about 3 years ago, and being so tired I just pulled off there- it was really nice- but I thought that was farther south? I do know the gates weren't locked, if you have any more info. let me know- thanks again! |

Location: Texas | I would highly recommend you call the Elgin Equine Clinic at (512) 285-3395. It is in Elgin, which is about 20 miles east of Austin on Hwy 290. Beautiful equine clinic with great stalls, runs or turn outs, which ever you would prefer. They have a place you can leave your trailer while you go in to Austin too. There is also the Manor Downs Race Track in Manor, between Elgin and Austin. But I don't know who you would contact. Personally, I would trust the vet clinic much more than a race track. Hope this helps. |
