“The Great Gatsby” and the roaring 20’s were back!

Guests donned festive finery and joined us for a lively evening.

All proceeds went to benefit our wonderful riding center.

Thank you to Clark Construction:   Our Corporate Sponsor

Your photographer had a great time at the gala. Congratulations to all who attended and contributed, and especially to Mari, for filling the very large shoes left behind by the amazing Judy Lazarus.

Into the Future

The new covered arena is on its way.  This is a dream that will really come true in the very near future.  The expansion will allow us to have  a year-round program and expand to meet our ever-growing wait list.  We will have the help of Clark Construction, Lescure Company, and McGuire and Hester, among others, to make this dream come true.  This is the beginning of our $150,000.00 campaign.  I know that is a huge amount of money, but with your help I know we can  reach our goal.  Your donation will mean so much to so many.

All donations are 100% tax deductible.

Please consider donating at one of these levels,

but no donation is too small:

$100.00     $250.00     $500.00     $1000.00

Chevron helps Xenophon during Week of Caring

Posted in Events by Judy Lazarus
Sep 11 2009

Chevron executives came to Xenophon again this year.  The task was to pound posts, dig trenches to build a new paddock, and paint the picket fence.   It was hot and dirty work but now we have a new place for our horses to live and a bright white fence.  THANK YOU CHEVRON!

This is the eleventh year that the Martinez Horsemen have held this fabulous event for Xenophon. Two of our students demonstrated their riding skills for all to see. It is always so much fun to show off our program and to be part of the “Battle.”

Thank you Martinez Horsemen!

Posted in Events by Judy Lazarus
Jul 22 2009

Thank you to Eric and Julie Thomas for their fabulous evening. Sixty enthusiastic horse lovers came to Thomas Ranch to learn about reining and other horse-helping topics.
Eric demonstrated how to work in partnership with the horse focusing on the value of allowing the horse enough time to process our requests.
It was a wonderfully informative event.

Thank you to all the hot people who ignored the elements to come to our Open House. It was wonderful to see so many brave souls. It was the hottest day on record so far. Our talented students demonstrated their riding skills on our fabulous horses. The hot dogs were delicious and the lemonade hit the spot.
A good time was had by all!

Xenophon Gets Ready For Its 17th Season

Posted in Events by Judy Lazarus
May 25 2009

Xenophon volunteers worked hard to clean, dust, weed, paint and generally get dirty to get the barn and environs clean.

Our board president, Chris Legallet, thanked the volunteers for all their work and encouraged them to find new ways of fund raising in this challenging year.

The next day we had 55 new volunteers at our training.

It’s a great start to a new year!
