"I've been and am going back again in just a few weeks and than going to Wyoming this years with them as well. Mrs Leigh and her Girls are so awesome. Their Ranch is well kept and they have a POOL. The Bunk house has bunk beds and makes you feel like a kid again at summer camp. The kids write little notes all over them so they kinda take on a life all their own,and the bathroom is HUGE with a deep sunk in tub for those sore butts. LOL. They serve a large veritiy of foods so theres something for everyone,even your picky eaters.There's so much one on one you really feel at home. I will keep going back until I can no longer ride. The payment plans make it supper easy to aford it year after year. I can't wait get back in the saddle and spend time at the ranch. If you have ever been on the fence about going, GO! You will have the time of your life."

"We've been to The Sugar & Spice Ranch once, and we currently have our reservations for 2011. Awesome family atmosphere. Food is second to none. Safety of guests is first priority as is ensuring that everyone has lots of fun. Wonderful swimming pool. Wonderful views of the countryside. My daughter and I recommend this Ranch to all our friends but especially the ones who have a special love for horses. We felt like family from the time we got out of our car and look forward to spending a week there for many summers to come."

"I'm not much of a horse person, but my wife and daughter have been to Sugar and Spice several times and absolute love it. So, they took me over Labor Day weekend and now I'm a fan too. It's a rustic experience to be sure, but comfortable and homey. The owner Leigh and her daughters really made me feel like family and, despite my lack of riding experience I felt very at ease with my horse Willow. The food was excellent as well. If you want a real working ranch experience with great folks, this is the place to go."

"We, my wife and I, and our two children 5 1/2 and 2 1/2 stayed from 11-22 through 11-26 of 2011 including Thanksgiving. I was not sure exactly what we were in for but were very pleasantly surprised. If you are looking to sit on top of some horse and have it walk you around a trail with a bunch of others, you are looking at the wrong place. If you want to be treated like friend and family, and actually how to care for, and ride a horse, this is definitely the place. The owner, Miss Leigh McCourt and her wonderful family of two daughters and various pets, made us feel welcome from pulling in the driveway. The lodging is bunkhouse style, which was odd for my wife and I but the kids loved it. We had our own bunkroom with a huge attached bathroom with shower, jacuzzi tub, two vanities, and two walk in closets, a mini fridge, coffee maker (and coffee!). Each day we got up and the kids helped feed the various pets, chickens, puppies et al. and then had a great fresh cooked breakfast with eggs, bacon, sausage, and various pancakes or waffles or some sort of toast or biscuits all of which were wonderful. After breakfast each day we were off to get the horses and learned how to brush them down, put on the blanket, saddle, bridle, then walked them down to the arena where the lessons began. We rode 4 different times only because we took a break on Thanksgiving where Miss Leigh put on a wonderful spread that was absolutely delicious. Then after dinner she had arranged for some entertainment as well that the whole family loved. On friday night, our last night we went to a local rodeo and our 5 yr old boy got to "Mutton Bust" ride on a sheep and scored a 64. We were pretty proud of him! And Miss Leigh can sing too as she sung the National Anthem to start the show. We would highly recommend Sugar and Spice Ranch for any mother daughter team that has any interest in horses at all and they will love it. On the last day they let you sign your bunk and we saw people that had returned 5 and 6 times. Incredible and if we are still in TX next summer we will come back."
