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.

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

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.

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.
