What we are about..
What we are about..
Philosopy is to give riders the best and safest experience of riding. We are happy to take good time to show you how to "ride" and learn about your horse. We do not do typical nose-to-tail, so riders need to be able to handle their horse by them self.
​​
We believe that all horses can have a job! We rescue and retrain at Major Hope Corral where we also offer horsemanship classes. This is the the way to finance the program for re-training and re-establishing horses. And we also have a gift shop specifically to support the rehabilitation/retraining of the horses that still not work as trail horses or have been re-homed. For all that stay at the ranch, you will have the opportunity to join in the rehabilitation/retraining and the daily work at the Ranch
​
​
The Operation
We transport the horses to several riding destinations, so all rides needs to be pre-booked. Our ranch is not a Commercial Public Location, it is private, so please make an appointment before visiting

Hello my name is Madysen, I’ve been riding for about 12 years now and have done a little bit of everything. I’ve owned horses throughout my life. I have been working at Bandera Historical Rides since after my daughter was born in April of 2024. I also have a wonderful dog named Dakota who loves to go out on rides with me! I absolutely love being able to ride in the beautiful Texas Hill Country!

One of my joys in life is making traditional recipes of the pioneering women and men that migrated to Bandera from all the continents !
I am a person that has warn many hats in Food and Beverage in my 40 year career but by far this experience getting back to the roots of cooking has brought a new joy that I hope I can share with all .
