Windmill Stables of Spring Park has some of the most beautiful horses around Dallas and they were kind enough to allow me to stop by and photograph them.

Owens Spring Creek Farm
An absolutely beautiful day in Texas inspired me to get out and explore. One of my destinations was the always nostalgic Owens Spring Creek Farm located in Richardson. Of course, the visit makes you feel like a third grader on a field trip, but sometimes that is exactly what you need. Heck, get a little crazy and go for a hay ride if you feel like it.
Prosper, TX
This horse was such a “lady” with her stunning eyes that she batted ever so dramatically as if she was born to be in front of the lens demanding every ounce of your attention.
Pilot Point and Tioga, Texas
I have to admit, I was very excited to venture into the towns of Pilot Point and Tioga, Texas. Why? Well, because I’ve been told this area of Texas is known as horse country, and let’s face it, I do love horses. Along the eastern edges of Lake Ray Robert there are countless green fields that are home to these beautiful creatures. Many farms and ranches allow visitors if you phone in advance. One of my first stops was the Knights End Performance Horses, the home of A Good Machine, who is a quarter horse stallion, not to mention a Multiple World and Reserve World Champion Sire. http://www.knightsendperformancehorses.com
Further down the road I saw a wonderful ranch with stunning horses. I couldn’t help but grab a couple of photos of them.
Don’t forget about the cows…
Interesting fact: Tioga, Texas is the birthplace of Gene Autry. Next, I headed south and made my way to downtown Pilot Point, which had a lot of character and can see why the city was hand picked by Warren Beatty to shoot scenes on location for the film Bonnie and Clyde.
Llano, Texas
In and around downtown Llano, Texas there are a number of interesting stores selling everything from art, jewelry, clothing, books, antiques and even a great cup of Joe at Fuel Coffee House. Llano is in the hills of the Texas Hill Country which provides very nice scenery on your drive in and out of town.
HORSESHOE BAY, TEXAS
Horseshoe Bay Resort
HORSESHOE BAY, TEXAS
Located on the shores of Lake LBJ and in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, Horseshoe Bay Resort is less than an hour from Austin and just under 4 hours from Dallas. This 7,000 acre luxury lake and golf resort is both beautiful and relaxing.
In travel, wildlife, culture, landscapes and much more, I share with you, through my eyes the beauty I see in Texas. This is just a glimpse.
It was Easter, an afternoon filled with a romantic haze of fog, when I fell in love with a horse that I named one-eyed Jack. Such a beauty. A Texas beauty.
