Happy Trails!

Meet Harry and Horace...our new miniature ponies.

These two buddies came to the ranch from a local farm that could no longer care for them.  The previous owner wanted to keep the ponies together because they were such good friends, and luckily, Texas Ranch Life had an extra pasture that needed some inhabitants.

Harry is super sweet and loves to be petted by everyone...especially kids!
Horace is really pretty and a little grouchy, but he perks up once you give him some tasty carrots.

See more pictures of the dynamic duo on our Facebook Page!

    A big Texas thanks! to Maersk Oil for bringing out a great group from Angola...all the way from Africa!

    We had a great time showing ya'll the ranch, and hope that you enjoyed the horseback riding, skeet shooting, branding and BBQ lunch.  Happy trails on the rest of your trip and come back and see us again!

Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott came to Texas Ranch Life for two nights a couple weeks ago while touring the Round Top Festival.  They came with their two children and some friends...they were very sweet and down to earth and had a great time eating, fishing and dancing at the ranch.  Best of luck with the new baby!!!
