I am in a little town in the Texas Hill Country 2 hours west of San Antonio and every motel and vacation cabin is taken, In our tiny town there was actually a line for gas at the only gas station.
Saw a lot of horse trailers between here and Kerrville, may have been people getting their horses out.
There is a big equestrian center at Katy (just west of Houston) with animals worth many thousands of dollars.
Do you know how it is 83 and 87 up to San Angelo?
