Subject:

Discussion and possible action to waive the rental fee for the Heroes and Horses Roughstock World Cup event to be held October 5- 6, 2019 at the Webb County Fairgrounds, and any other matters incident thereto. [Requested by Tano Tijerina, Webb County Judge]

Issue: Heroes and Horses is a non-profit organization that uses all proceeds made to motivate veterans to move beyond the difficulties experienced from years of war. By waiving the rental fee, we will support our veterans and the mission of Heroes and Horses and allocate the proposed rental fee to be used to be used as additional support of veterans.

Solution: The mission at Heroes and Horses is to offer combat veterans an alternative solution for defining and approaching their physical and mental scars—a solution that does not include prescription medications, or traditional psychotherapy, but rather the opportunity to use tools to redefine their purpose, rediscover their inner strength, and maximize their potential by taking ownership of their lives for the first time since leaving service.

Result: Provide additional support for our veterans.
