S
ome 30 miles separate the North Texas town of Pilot Point
from the Red River. For reasons not disclosed, Mother Nature
put in place a sandy, loamy path 10 to 20 miles wide that
connects the two. The resulting terrain is ideal for training horses.
It allows young bones to gently take shape and challenges more
mature runners with forgiving ground. These are a few of the
reasons that Dorothy and Clarence Scharbauer acquired 393 acres
of this Denton County country in 1991. Their goal was to establish
a world-class breeding operation, and history has shown that this is
exactly what they did.
