The Sugar & Spice Ranch

The Sugar & Spice Ranch is an exclusive destination for gals looking for the perfect learning and bonding vacation. The ranch is run by a mother and daughter team and the summer is devoted exclusively to moms and daughters. Located in Bandera, Texas, they offer guests a chance to experience the rich traditions of the old west, with an abundance of wildlife thrown in for good measure. It will be as if you own your own ranch horse for the week, getting involved in everything there is to do with daily care - including feeding, grooming, tacking up, cleaning tack, bathing and, of course, riding.The bonding experience is enhanced as guests bunk together in the ranch bunkhouse - mom and daughter sharing a bunk bed - along with full air conditioning, and bathroom with Jacuzzi hot tub. Instead of just daughters heading off to camp, Moms get to go too. Even if you think you know a lot about caring for horses, you’ll learn something knew and as any parent knows, hearing “pick out her hooves before every ride” carries much more weight coming from an instructor than from you.All of the activity is learning focused; there is no time for leisurely trail riding but you can practice what you learn on the trails back home. There are lots of fun arena games in addition to riding lessons, and the value of the bonding experience is impossible to measure. Girls get to have the camping experience without feeling homesick, ‘cause Mom is right there, bunking, riding, and swimming with her. The last day of camp they will participate together in a team horse show. For moms who love horses and have been searching for a way to get their daughter involved, this week long camp is ideal. Everyone learns grooming, tacking, feeding, and of course, riding.Weekend packages are available for everyone. The most important thing we offer is a chance to have moms and daughters share a passion that one or both have....the connection that happens through the conduit which is the horse is amazing and can not be duplicated ...As a horsewoman I offer my years of experience and am present every step of the way to insure that all understand my horses, my passions, my philosophy on natural horsemanship and my love of both horses and the mother/daughter relationship. We allow all to step away from their everyday lives and step into ours SmileIf you would like more info or have more questions let me know....You know I just hate talking about my place...LOLContact us now for more information and to plan your vacation of a lifetime!!
