| LOPE Texas Receives Grant, Announces New Sponsor 
        LOPE Texas recently announced that it has received a grant from 
        Thoroughbred Charities of America (TCA). The $3,000 grant will help LOPE 
        care for horses with more serious rehabilitation needs this summer. This 
        is the second consecutive year that LOPE has received a grant from the 
        TCA.  
      In addition, LOPE announced it's newest sponsor, The Equestrian Network. 
        The Equestrian Network is a prestigious group of equestrian websites with 
        an audience that encompasses every horse discipline, breed, and riding 
        style. Boasting more traffic than most major equestrian websites, their 
        communities average 11 million page views per month. The Equestrian-Network.com 
        website communities are EquestrianFriends.com, 
        EquestrianSingles.com 
        and EquestrianChat.com.  
       LoneStar Outreach to Place Ex-Racers (LOPE) is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit 
        devoted to providing new careers for retiring racehorses of all breeds 
        in Texas. Through its online services and ranch adoption center, LOPE 
        has transitioned over 500 Texas ex-racehorses into new homes since 2003. 
      The Texas Horsemen's Partnership is a proud partner of LOPE Texas.
