“I will be returning for the 11th year in August”

Every year for 1 month I escape from the big city and become a cowboy. I am treated as one of the family. I get to ride the way I like with friendly people. I enjoy the finest steaks and sample the real West the way it is meant to be. Not for me the vast holiday resorts with a few horses thrown in.

“ranch owners staff and cattle drives”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 April 2006

I have been a guest of the Bar H every year for the past five years and plan to return for a 9 day stay this May. The owners are very gracious and treat the guests like family. i your looking to ride horse then head do the Ranch for the Cattle Drives where you can sleep outdoors and get a real feel for the cowboy life of old. the cattle drive is great fun and guests of all levels of experience can ride and participate in as much or as little cowboy work as they desire. The food is plentyfull and if your a steak lover I havnt had better. When not on the cattle drive the horse back riding is always available. The ranch service is informal so you wont find the structured order of a resort. Remember this is the modern day version of the old west.

In conclusion you can find fine western wear and night entertainment in Amarillo just about an hour drive and you can meet your shopping needs in town. Ranch staff will drive you in or you can use your own car if you bring it. i have always been met at the airport on time. However if you are concerned about reaching staff you can always call in advance and ask how they can be reached. Now saddle up

“Fantastic, out of this world experience”

From the moment we were meet at the airport nothing was too much trouble for the owners and staff of the Bar H Dude Ranch. We were a party of two adults and two children aged 8 and 12 years with varied levels of riding abilities. We were taken out twice daily by Frank the owner or Dillon / Kirsten the wranglers and were able to explore this vast ranch on horse back which was an experience that we will never forget and one we will want to repeat yearly. There was always a warm welcome back at the ranch house from Terri, Frank's wife and DD the ranch manager. Hot coffee or cold drinks were always available to quench our thirst and something mouth watering to fill our stomachs for lunch, and the texan ribeye steaks that were served for dinner were just to die for.
We were treated with such warmth and affection we all felt like part of the Bar H family, we will be returning next year with out a shadow of a doubt for another stay.

“Loved the weather.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 April 2006

I thought the owner of the ranch ( Dee Dee) was very pleasant and very ameanable. What ever I wanted to do I could have done.
I thought she was extreamly fare in what I was charged and the fact that there were no hidden extras.
I thought there could have been vacilities in the bunkhouse to make a drink in the evening.
I thought the dining room and certainly my bunkhouse could have been cleaner. Perhaps a little less basic.!!
I thought the Wrangler who looked after me for the four days was extreamly pleasant and nothing was too much trouble.
The meals were fine, there was certainly enough to eat although I felt it would have been nice to have been able to make a drink in the evening.

“A Dream Come True”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 March 2006

people found this review helpful

Ever since I was a small child my dream has always been to stay on a ranch and ride out with cowboys. In October of 2005 after years of dreaming, it all came true. My parner had organised a holiday in secret for my 40th birthday, she kept it secret for 6 months and only told me when we were on our way to the airport where we were going, Texas, to stay on a ranch! I was so excited.
From the minute we arrived at the Bar H Dude Ranch we were made very welcome and were treated like one of the family. The food we ate all week was fantastic. The scenery was outstanding. Beautiful sunsets listening to the coyotes and crickets as we sat outside our bunk room in the evenings. The riding was first class, out all morning, riding back to the ranch in time for lunch and then back out riding for the afternoon. All the riding was by choice if you didn't want to then you didn't have to.
The owners and staff were great and nothing was too much trouble.
The accomodation was very authentic and also very clean. I did not want luxury, I wanted reality and that is exactly what the Bar H offers. A true cowboy experience holiday on a working ranch.
We are still in regular contact with one of the members of staff and also the management of the ranch themselves.
We are going back again this year and can't wait to get there.
I would highly recommend the Bar H to anyone that really wants to live the cowboy dream, it lived up to all the dreams I had as a young girl and more.
Thanks Bar H you are fantastic and we miss you.
