About The Sugar & Spice
Ranch
The Sugar & Spice Ranch was designed
as a venue for bringing mothers and daughters
closer together, and the ranch continues
to do so today. Due to repeated requests
from guests, the Sugar & Spice Ranch
now also offers Family Weekend Packages
and Women Only Group Getaways, as well
as Corporate Team Building Weekends from
September to May.
Owner Leigh McCourt, a mother of two
daughters, has found over the years horses
are in tune with the emotions of the
people around them and therefore these
majestic animals often unite people unexpectedly.
Guests at the ranch enjoy developing
a relationship with their own horse,
even as they are deepening their family
bonds. Moms also enjoy comfortable lodgings,
great food, a dedicated staff and lots
of time to learn, laugh and enjoy ranch
life with their daughters, friends, or
families.
Been There
"We had an awesome week! Great horses,
staff, accommodations & food! The
schedule was just right–with time
to relax included! We were newbies to
horses- by the end of the week we felt
that we had learned much… Leigh & Cowboy
Jack were great!"

What Else?
The ranch is located in Bandera, a Texas
town steeped in the history of the
Old West and set in the stunning Texas
Hill Country. Bandera is known as "The
Cowboy Capital of the World," and
is also home to a stretch of the famous
Old Spanish Trail, once used used for
cattle drives from Mexico to Wyoming.
This authentic little town adds to
the genuine western atmosphere of the
Sugar & Spice Ranch, though the
ranch also features several modern
day comforts like a swimming pool,
air conditioning, a lovely bathroom
with a jacuzzi tub, great food and
feminine touches like fresh flowers.
