Wellington, FL – February 4, 2013 – What child doesn’t grow up dreaming of owning and loving a horse? The Horse Tales Literacy Project, a non-profit organization committed to improving our literacy rate, uses that natural connection between children and horses to motivate children to read. This organization was founded by Tim Farley, son of the late Walter Farley, author of the classic Black Stallion book series, and Mark Miller, owner of the Arabian Nights Dinner Theatre. This program provides a simple but unique approach to motivating children to read by connecting them with a classic book about horses by Walter Farley and then exposing them to the magic of being able to interact with live horses. Since the organizations inception in 1999, the Horse Tales Literacy Project has reached over half a million children and educators in more than 18 states. The Horse Tales Literacy Project invites you to join them on Saturday, March 9th, 2013, at the Bridles & Backswings Golf Tournament, and to help them raise money to support these literacy programs here in Palm Beach County.

The first annual Bridles & Backswings Golf Tournament will be held on Saturday, March 9th, 2013 at the beautiful Binks Forest Golf Club in Wellington, FL. with registration opening at 12:30p.m. There will be equine characters on hand from Walter Farley’s classic book, “Little Black, A Pony”, to meet and greet the golfers as they arrive. Then, the afternoon’s play will begin with a 1:00p.m. shotgun start. The afternoon of golf will include course competitions, games, raffles and prizes. After an afternoon of golf, the participants and their guests will enjoy an awards reception with a silent auction. Then, the guest will enjoy a sumptuous BBQ buffet dinner and a live equine reenactment of a scene from Walter Farley’s classic book, “The Black Stallion”, provided by the world-famous Arabian Nights Dinner Theatre from Kissimmee, FL.
