6-9pm
Free Event!
Visit us in Blanco at Gillen’s (1725 US-281 Blanco, TX 78606) this Saturday to enjoy a fun-filled evening celebrating community, the arts and nature. In an effort to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s Texas, Maverick’s is hosting the first of a series of fund raising events, “Art is Everywhere.” There are so many benefits to living a life rife with art and animals, surrounded by supportive people, good music, fine gourmet goodies and tasty wine. In fact, these elements, combined with an attitude geared toward life-long learning will delay early onset Alzheimer’s and inhibit the development of the disease, which now impacts 1 in 5 Americans.
On Saturday, Maverick’s will share a fine art collection with Blanco and the Austin community. This horse-centric and Native American art, which many of you have been able to enjoy here at our stables or following along with us online, will be available for acquisition with 10% of proceeds benefiting Alzheimer’s Texas. A great selection of silent auction items will be available as well, including tickets to Austin Opera, Sherwood Forest, Krause Springs, Mt. Playmore, a Microderm facial at Petit Beau Ange, a photo shoot with Lindsay Mac Studio and more! Live music by Full Moon Medicine and BBQ from Porky’s of Lockhart provide almost enough entertainment. But –hold your horses — Rush, the mini horse fund raiser extraordinaire will be present to make the event extra special. Weave flowers into his mane and snag some selfies with this beautiful paint horse to celebrate “Art is Everywhere.” Want to learn more about the artists who’s work will be debuted? Click HERE.

Special Events: General Info
Maverick’s hosts groups large and small on a 400+ acre ranch with several ponds for fishing and varied topography that winds its way through hills and ravines dotted with quaint walking trails through the woods. Add the immaculately kept professional dirt bike course we use for trail rides (or mountain bikes, motocross events and more) and you’ve got yourself a perfect backdrop for the special event of your dreams.
We work closely with local vendors and the entertainers, culinary masters, and amenity providers of your choosing. Have ideas about a day of fishing, skeet shooting, western entertainment or petting zoo? We’ve got you covered! Other thoughts on activities with your individual flare for style? Our mission is to make your dream event come true. Tell us what you have in mind.

Weddings
Inspiring scenery sets your day in a rustic barn, an elegant tent, or simply out in the open under some good old Texas sunshine. Our thoughtful local partnerships will help us provide you the cuisine and charismatic setting that suits your needs. We aim to make sure that all of your senses are enlivened with the details of the country wedding you’ve imagined. While we are happy to work with your pre-determined caterer, we have country cooking covered if you’d like to leave that part of the planning to us. Our vendor partners provide guests with award winning Texan fare. Be ready to eat big with juicy BBQ from the BBQ capital of the country. For the more delicate palliate, enjoy cuisine that delights the senses along with the fine china to serve it.
Company Events
Team building and corporate events can be stressful. Let us work with you and your event coordinator to develop the details of the day to provide the structure you need to make for a hassle-free event. We will work closely with your coordinator to ensure that your individual needs are seen to.
Reunions
When you want to get your family and friends together out in the country, you have an idea for your day. What is it? We want to work with you to provide the amenities that will help all of the guests in your group reconnect with the great outdoors. We provide the venue for: Fraternity and Sorority Reunions, Family Reunions, Private School Class Reunions and more.
Improved Amenities
We are commitment to improving an already beautiful property. Future improvements include a Gazebo to host intimate weddings, rustic cabins for camping, a floating dock and of course, improved landscaping. As plans for these amenities unwind we are excited to work with you to create the picture perfect day. Maybe your color choice will make its way into the annual beds, paint the trim on a country shed, or line the wagon wheel decor of the entryway.
