The Mineola Nature Preserve equestrian camp and equestrian trails have been recognized with the Ned Granger Award by the Texas Equestrian Trail Riders Association (TETRA) for outstanding facilities.

Steve Hancock, director of TETRA Region 5, and TETRA members Jim Hinderman and Jeanne Hinderman of Lindale presented the award to Mineola Mayor Kevin White and City Manager Mercy Rushing Feb. 2.

“The Mineola Nature Preserve is many things to many people and, with continued development, that list is expanding,” said Hancock. “The equestrian community is appreciative of the outstanding facilities offered in the equestrian camp at Mineola Nature Preserve, and it is our hope that we can work with the city of Mineola and other equestrian groups to help maintain and improve this portion of the…Preserve.”

“Mineola is proud to accept this award on behalf of all the volunteers, staff and organizations that work to develop and care for the Mineola Nature Preserve. It is nice that the efforts of so many are recognized by a prestigious association such as TETRA,” White said.

The 3,000-acre preserve owned and maintained by the city features more than 20 miles of equestrian, walking and bike trails.
