Banditas in Bandera
 Join our Facebook Group
Before we managed to say yeeha we found ourselves in a huge red Nissa Altima on our way to the middle of no where - a place called Bandera; the cowboy capital of the world.
We arrived at Dixie Dude ranch at lunch time - just in time for a ride. Bianca, who’s only ridden a lot of jack asses in her life, was very excited about being on Popeyes back.
He took her in to the hills in the Texas sun, and taught her a thing or two about trotting. At night the two cowgirls made a lot of new friends - icluding a donkey, 6 kittens, 3 dogs and 14 kids. They also watched the world champion in roping jump up and down on a horse while his 93 year old father was terrorizing the cats (and the kids).
The entertainment (world champion in roping)
Kjersti was gastronomically challenged by the fried food before sunrise and hid every morning to escape the communal breakfast. She was constantly lectured by the 6 year olds on proper ranch behavior.
Going for a hay ride is a must
Ranch life didn’t start off too good for Kjersti. After an old lady at our table asked her:
“Would you ladies like to join us in prayer - and thank the lord for our food?”
Kjersti replied:
“I am not religious, but I don’t mind watching you”.
DEAD SILENCE. (lady steared at Kjersti like she was satan embodied…)
But then we went horseback riding again - and it was all good.
Everyday life outside the $2 store parking lot in Bandera.
There is no sign of plastic fantastic at the ranch. Yeah - very authentic.
Staying at Dixie Dude ranch is only 130 dollar per night. That includes accomodation, 3 meals and 2 rides daily. And you can hang out with these studs 24/7 if you like…
Don’t mess with the old cowboys…
STAY TUNED for more updates!
