Indy 500 Champion Castroneves Rolls Into

Fort Worth With A Different Kind Of Horsepower

FORT WORTH, Texas (May 27, 2009)
– Reigning Indianapolis 500 champion Helio Castroneves made a grand entrance
into downtown Fort Worth on Wednesday, but it was with a lot less horsepower
than he utilized this past weekend en route to his historic victory.

Castroneves, visiting as part of the Indy 500 champion’s tour and to promote the June 6
Bombardier Learjet 550k at Texas Motor Speedway, arrived in a white horse-drawn carriage
wearing the Indianapolis 500 Borg-Warner winner’s wreath and carrying his
empty bottle of milk from the Victory Lane celebration.

The charismatic Castroneves soon shifted from his Indianapolis 500 champion’s look
to one of a Texas champ as he was presented a Charlie Horse cowboy hat by
Texas Motor Speedway President Eddie Gossage.

“With the horse and now the hat, I guess you could say I’m a cowboy now,” Castroneves said,
flashing that trademark smile. “The only difference is I have 650 horses, not one!”

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Mom and Dad called me before they even left the parking lot last night.
They were as giddy as little children telling me all about you and
Gunsmoke and our beautiful downtown lights. I can't wait to see the pictures.
Happy holidays to you and yours, Nancy S, Ft. Worth"

Congratulations "Mom & Dad"
61 years of wedded bliss!

The happy couple departed from the Fort Worth Club for a spin around the Tree

We've Moved! 

After 15 years of housing our equipment at Sundance Square,
the wrecking ball finally made a parking lot out of the Downtown Stables at 3rd & Pecan. 

The "Horse Gods" were watching and the perfect ranch became available to us.
 We now operate full-service, from our own facility on the western edge of the LBJ National Grasslands Park in Alvord, TX.

With our own Stables, Driving arena and miles of trails at the 22,000 acre Park,
we hope to also offer Driving Training, Seminars & Lessons in the near future!
