The show began modestly enough in 1945, and it was quoted that the show’s benefactor, Mr. James Abercrombie, “met all expenses of the show, including $3,600 in purses, so the entire gate income could be turned over to those in need,” thus establishing

of the initial backing that established Texas Children’s Hospital in the Texas Medical Center. The property on Loop 610, below the Galleria and near the South Post Oak exit, became the first home of the Pin Oak Charity Horse Show. Long-legged horses and beautiful women walked beneath the oaks. Soon, the show grew from American Saddlebreds and Hackney ponies to include its most renowned event: show jumping. Pin Oak brought this almost unknown spectacle to Houston and people took notice. Soon, Pin Oak’s crowds were more than friends and well-wishers; they were people who enjoyed the jumping.

The show was a fixture on the social calendar throughout the 1950s and 1960s.

The pool is lined on one side by rock walls with swim-outs, steps and an expansive crushed granite and limestone terrace graciously shaded by ancient native trees and the other side by high bluff walls draped in lush ferns and native vegetation. A strong-flowing spring has been uncovered in another area of the ranch. This area creates a cool, shaded refuge for numerous native and exotic free-ranging game. Abundant hardwoods consist of Spanish oak, sycamore, elm, live oak, pecan, walnut, madrone, blue oak and heart cedar. Improvements consist of a modest Hill Country native rock home with multiple decks that bring the outside in and meander onto irrigated zoysia grass giving rise to a lush, rock-bordered lawn. The home has been recently upgraded with nature-textured tile floors, granite countertops and new appliances. Solid wood cabinetry with a touch of rustic hardware adds to the Hill Country charm. This 139.4-acre ranch is surrounded by large ranches, creating a private and secluded atmosphere. Exclusively offered for $1,770,000.

An additional 155± adjoining acres are available for $6,500 per acre.
