The Texas Thoroughbred Educational Fund
At the 4M Ranch, we feel blessed to be able to do what we love to do, which is to raise beautiful Thoroughbred horses in the splendid hill country of Texas. Our success has been due in part to hard work, the help of good friends, the support of great employees and a little luck along the way.
One of our greatest pleasures is to be able to give back to the industry which has been so generous to our family and our horses. We are proud and pleased to be able to donate an annual Deer Hunt to the Texas Thoroughbred Education Fund.
The Texas Thoroughbred Educational Fund helps place young Texans on the road to success by providing grants and awards to benefit Texas Thoroughbred Association members and their children and further their educational opportunities.

This foundation will limit it support and financial assistance to Accredited Texas Breds as determined by the TTA.
