On this episode of From Waterloo to the Alamo, host Traci Turnquist-Wilson welcomes Fred Ballard and Jake Bradley, co-owners of Blue Horse Building + Design, as they celebrate 20 years of building homes and strengthening communities across Central Texas.

What began as two builders bringing complementary strengths together has grown into a company known for its timeless design, meticulous craftsmanship, and deeply personal client experience. Blue Horse homes are designed to be more than beautiful spaces, they’re created to be truly livable, blending function and artistry in ways that stand the test of time.

To mark their 20th anniversary, Fred and Jake chose to give back in a big way, designing and donating a playground for Patriots Hall of Dripping Springs, a place where veterans and their families can connect, heal, and thrive. Their philanthropic impact doesn’t stop there: Blue Horse has supported organizations including Foster Village, Heart of Texas Pregnancy Resource Center, and the Burke Center for Youth, weaving community service into the very fabric of their company culture.

In this episode, Fred and Jake share the story of their partnership, the heart behind their work, and the vision that drives them forward. They also look ahead at the trends shaping the future of homebuilding and the legacy they hope to leave long after this 20-year milestone.

🎧 Tune in for an inspiring conversation about what it truly means to build with purpose.
