Eagle Scouts building shelter at Rancho Montoya

Today, bright and early, one by one and truck by truck, The Round Rock Eagle Scouts, from troop #27 began arriving at Rancho Montoya to begin work on a shelter for the horses. The summer project is being taken on by Greg Tully, an Eagle Scout and he was supported by fellow Scouts and their Father’s to lend their hands to get a huge project done.  Today as seen in one of these photos, there are three generations of Tully men, as Greg is accompanied by his Dad and Grandfather.

 

Today the ground was broken  using a post-hole digger.  But as true as the Texas heat, so was the ground as  hard. At one moment it seemed as the hole digger would never progress past a certain spot in the  dry hard ground, but finally it did manage to dig a proper hole.  Cement was  poured, poles were placed and they will return tomorrow to work on or perhaps finish the job.

Many Thanks go out, from The Montoya family and on behalf on Minis and Friends,  to these dedicated young Scouts for their fine efforts,  tolerating the blistering temperatures and helping our Non-profit organization Minis and Friends, as we help with these  special trained therapy horses in our community with  Children and Adults who need the minis and the friends the most, for free. The working Minis on property  are Rocky, Rudy, and Bravo, who will surely appreciate this shelter from the storms and environment  or just to crash in at night for a little privacy and R & R :)
