Sugar and Spice Ranch

Sugar and Spice Ranch brings horseback riding and summer camp programming to Bandera, Texas, a small town with a big identity as the self-proclaimed 'Cowboy Capital of the World.' The ranch holds a 4.0-star rating and operates in a region that genuinely lives and breathes ranch culture year-round. Bandera's location in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, surrounded by cedar-covered hills and spring-fed rivers, makes it one of the most naturally fitting places in the state for an authentic riding and outdoor experience.

Horseback riding at Sugar and Spice Ranch puts riders on trails through classic Hill Country terrain, with options suited to different experience levels from first-timers to more confident riders. Summer camp programming gives kids a structured, immersive experience that goes beyond a single trail ride, typically covering horsemanship basics, grooming, safety, and time in the saddle over several days. Camp sessions are designed to build real confidence with horses, not just recreational time. The ranch's setting outside Bandera means campers and riders get exposure to genuine ranch life, which is harder to find at suburban riding facilities.

Sugar and Spice Ranch is based in Bandera and serves families and riders from across the Texas Hill Country region. Visitors regularly come from San Antonio, about an hour away, as well as from Kerrville, Boerne, and Medina Lake communities who are drawn to Bandera's Western atmosphere.
