What To Bring

Be prepared for enjoying the Texas Hill Country

As our guests, you will want to bring simple, rugged clothing that will stand up to this kind of ranch living. 

Try to be practical in the amount of clothing you bring Please pack yours and your daughter's belongings in a camp trunk or large suitcase. There are no dresser drawers available and you should plan on working out of your suitcases.


Some ideas on what necessities to bring We have guests year round and this list gives you some ideas on the clothing and other necessities you will need. In the summer months in the Texas Hill Country, you won't need long sleeve shirts or any jackets.


We do not allow any technology i.e.; phones, iPads, tablets or video game devises, we are very dedicated to having the girls live in the moment of their surroundings and experience a life that is different from the one they have at home. Communication and face to face interaction is something that we strive for and teach. We find that all the technology of today is only a distraction and can lead to some added stresses for the girls. Home sickness is something we understand and if at any time you would like to check in you can call the ranch directly but, understand that sometimes we can not be on the phone while we are in the saddle or teaching your girls due to safety issues.
