I am a Girl scout troop leader of 13 3rd grade girls. This year the troop decided to use our cookie profits to go to a dude ranch. After encountering some problems with another ranch, we were lucky enough to find Bruce and the Running R. Bruce worked very hard with our field trip mom in scheduling and preparing for... More

The facilities at this ranch are top notch. Our cabin was cozy and comfortable. Breakfast and lunch was delicious. We took two one hour horseback rides and enjoyed them immensely. Our favorite part of the visit was the people that worked the ranch. They were so friendly and kind. Special kudos to the ranch foreman, Doug! He made our visit... More

The ranch is situated next to the state park surrounded by lovely countryside. All the people on the ranch were welcoming and couldn't do enough to make our stay enjoyable. The cabins are spacious, clean and decorated in a 'western rustic' style. It was great to sit out on the porch in a rocking chair and take in the peace... More

My family and I were staying in San Antonio and decided we wanted a day out in the country. My kids chose horse riding, which is great for them as they could already ride but I was nervous as I'd only been a horse once before. I needn't have worried as the Running R team were excellent. From the initial... More

We were looking for a true Texas ranch experience and we received one at the Running-R Ranch. We thoroughly enjoyed everything about the experience - from the drive out to the ranch through Bandera, to the food and riding. We were greeted with a loud lunch bell and proceeded into the rustic dining/social room for some home cooking. After lunch... More

We were greatly disappointed in this ranch. They claim you get two horseback riding trail rides each day included in the price, but when we arrived early in the afternoon, they said we were out of luck; they were booked solid! The next day we got to ride only once and it was at a slow walk; this ranch is... More

We just got back from the ranch. Bruce, Doug and the wranglers were great. They were very accomodating. For example, my younger daughter (although of age to ride) was recommended to have pony rides and lessons. We were able to increase the ride time for my wife and older daughter. Doug was great with my younger daughter during lessons and... More

We stayed here for a week with our small girls ages 5 and 2. This is a great place to visit for people of all ages! My husband and I love riding and greatly enjoyed the experienced rides we had in the park. The girls were also able to ride in the arena. They made good friends with the new... More

My husband and I just returned from a 2 night stay at the Running R Ranch. We had never been to a dude ranch before and now we wish we had brought our children here when they were small. It is a great place for families! The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. My husband is an experienced rider... More
