Dear Friends,

I have very reluctantly decided to hang up my spurs
and stay out of the saddle. According to my physicians
this is in my best interest. The decision is
emotionally very saddening. In the future my horse
related activities whether they be at a fox hunting
meet, on a PLx field, at a scenic trail overlook or
other venues will have to be non-riding in nature.
Fortunately I will still enjoy the friendships and
social aspects of it all.

In this regard I will be selling my four horses, two
trailers, truck, tack, and other equipment over the
next few months.

Because of the quality and nature of much of what I
own (horses, tack, etc.), I feel that several among
you will be interested. Also because of the many
friendships I have made among you, I would like you to
have the first opportunity before more general
listings are posted on eBay, used trailers,
equine.com, etc.

This timing of this email may also be helpful to those
who have seen and are very familiar the items I will
be selling for Christmas Gifts. Unfortunately I will
not be able to put together a detailed list until
after the beginning of the year. I have listed some of
the items below. At a later date I will send a group
email with a detailed list and prices. For those of
you who interested and are familiar with my equipment,
please call me directly at 210-508-0288 or email me at
rjrsatx@... Let me know what you are interested
in. We can figure it out from there.

This note is being sent as a group email to the Kenada
hunt members, the polocrosse group, my trail riding
groups and the Buck Brannaman group to inform you of
this. It is being sent via bcc so that your addresses
will be hidden.

Best wishes to you all and your families during this
holiday season. Merry Christmas! Have a joyous and
bountiful new year!

Happy trails.

Ralph

PS. As this is new to me, I presume I am supposed to
add some language re: terms. All items are subject to
prior sale and may be removed from sale without prior
notice. The items are sold FOB San Antonio, Texas.
Packaging and shipping will be added to the total
price if not a San Antonio pickup. State sales taxes
will be added when applicable. Terms are cash, bank
cashier's check or paypal to a verified paypal address
in advance of shipment. Shipments will be made to a
continental United States physical address (no a PO
Box). Items will generally ship within two days of
funds received and verified. Plus any other terms that
I need to add but did not think of.
