Mystery and Legend
It sits to the north of Interstate 20 at Willow Park, not too far off the road, but hidden from the hustle of rush hour traffic by a thick row of pecan and hackberry trees.

The sign adjacent to the interstate proclaims it Squaw Creek Downs, but the actual name for the racehorse training facility is Trinity Meadows. [more…]

Karen -
What an interesting and beautifully written story! I have been wondering about that track and didn’t even realize people were using it for training. Have always thought what a waste, but at least it is being put to some use. Thanks for sending me the article and keep em coming!
love,
michelle

Karen,
As always, your article was interesting and full of nice imagery. I’d love to see you do an article on mules. You’d have everyone falling in love with those wonderful, misunderstood and amazing animals. Can you tell I love my mules? LOL
