Meeting Eileen and going on trail rides with her was definitely the high point of a recent weekend getaway I planned for my girlfriend’s birthday. We rode Saturday and loved it so much we went back for more on Sunday! Eileen is the best - she loves her horses so much and is a joy to spend time with. The rides were so much more than I had expected. She talked with us throughout the ride, watched over us and the horses, chose the perfect horses for our riding experience and abilities, educated us about the plants and the horses and even took pictures and videos of us that we got to keep to remember the experience. If you are going to Bandera, you need to visit her out on the ranch and enjoy a ride! Janine

Overall Ratings

There is nothing average about our Day Rides and Overnights, spectacular view at a hidden gem in Medina, exiting town rides in Bandera, climbs and vast meadows at Hill Country State Natural Area. Whatever you choose, our rides are an adventure beyond the regular nose-to-tail ride! And best of all, it is always in private groups and at the time you want to ride! Care for the horses are highest possible quality, saddles are high quality, and meet the horses and mules, they where ones unwanted and now re-trained to happily serve you. We bring the horses to all locations, so per booking only! To make a reservation, call, email, text or book directly online

Tom was a great guide- very friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate. I'm glad we got to meet him as part of the ride. My wife had never ridden a horse before and I had only rode twice before. Tom and BHR were very accommodating to to us and made us feel safe and confident. We took the "River Ride" and the views were beautiful!

Tawny and her husband, owners of Outlaw Outfitters in Bandera Texas (in our opinion) are the ONLY folks to book a riding trip in the Bandera area. They are extremely knowledgable about the terrain and are much more concerned about your safety than most. They have a lifetime of experience, own wonderful horses, and go out of their way to insure a great experience. Tawny will quickly teach you the need to know info enabling you to easily direct the particular horse you are on insuring the ride goes smooth and safely. They are kind, honest, and easy going. We loved our time with them and consider them our new friends from Texas.

8. Bandera City Park

Reviewed By CathleenH25 - San Antonio, United States
Beautiful cypress trees line the banks of this part of the river that runs through the park. Start at the far end of the park and peacefully float to the other end. For the dare devils ropes hang out over the deeper parts of the river and brave souls climb up to platforms to snare the ropes and swing out over the water. Shallow areas and natural gravel pits make for shallow water fun for small children and parents soak in the water and watch their young children play in the rocks.
9. The Twisted Sisters
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2 reviews
Reviewed By Manbyk - San Antonio, United States
Farm to Market (FM) 335, 336, 337, comprise what is known nationally as the Twisted Sisters. It is a series of connecting road networks perfect for motorcyclists and auto enthusiasts. Best Motorcycle Roads in America.com ranked the Twisted Sisters as the best motorcycle route in America. It is not/not for novices, rather experienced motorcyclists accustomed to windy, twisty, inclines, narrow roads. Prominent to the entrance to these roads are large signs noting how many have been killed riding these roads. Stunning beauty, rock walls, sharp curves, it doesn't get better than this unless you are riding the Devil's Backbone between Durango, Mexico & Mazatlán. Leakey is central to the route & has several places to fuel and grab a good meal. The Bent Rim Grill is likely the most popular but if you are in a hurry, grab a taco at San Juan's Taqueria. Bear's Market is well stocked as well as the local grocery store. Lodging is also available in Leakey. Another town along the route is Camp Wood but offerings are limited at best. Medina has a couple of great places to eat, Keese's BBQ likely the best. Bandera is also a must see in route to the Twisted Sisters, stop at Sid's BBQ for killer baby back ribs or the OST (Old Savannah Trail) for breakfast in the John Wayne room. Allow yourself at least six hours to take it all in. While you can ride the +160 mile loop in 3-4 hours, why rush? Finally, make time to visit the fabulous Lone Star Motorcycle Museum in Vanderpool, a gem of a place. A word of advice, "Keep the rubber side down."
