We arrived on time, checked in and signed the waivers. There are lots of farm cats and a dog just FYI. Once ready, you get a hay ride to the skeet shooting spot from your instructor. Once you arrive, your instructors take it from there - safety instructions, demos etc. We had a ton of fun! Many of us had never even shot a gun before so this was fun and competitive. Once that was done, we got to pet some of the horses and the team had helped us receive our lunch order (via DoorDash). We ended up taking our lunch back to our Airbnb because it was just so hot in the honkey tonk barn. Overall, I would go this again and even try the horse trail ride!

Travis P Trail Rides in Blanco, TX exceeded our expectations for a fun afternoon horse back. Travis himself is a hilarious and knowledgeable guide that takes great photos! I especially loved the little handmade leather satchels he provides for your belongings while you ride. I was also pleasantly surprised at the affordable rate ($40/pp for an hour ride). Not to mention the horses were all beautiful and clearly well taken care of. The experience was intimate as my family of three was the only group there at the time but I could see Travis P's being fun for larger groups and/or parties. I wish we lived locally so I could ride here all the time. Thanks for your hospitality, your infinite humor, and all of the memories Travis. They will not soon be forgotten.

Update: 5th year at Camp Peniel overnight camp (Sun 3pm - 10am Sat). Camp Peniel is SO AWESOME! My…read moreboys are already looking forward to next yr! (With every yr they attend, they're stronger to voice how much this experience means to them & yes, the camp improves every year!) Incoming high-schooler wants to attend the co-ed high school camp next summer (offered only 1 wk) for the fun, AND 2wks of "work camp" (he'd be a helper/custodian- tuition reduction since working). FYI, from another seasoned parent: HS week is AMAZING! This wk, my boys were about FUN: "Coups" received according to efforts, skills, abilities. Independently chosen 3 areas of focus. Older son: Man's Class, Swimming, & Swords. Younger: Riflery, Swimming, & Archery. Proud of both! Presented & optional further study of the "Tehas" Tribe/Way (God's principles/deeper faith imbedded within Camp Peniel): "Pathfinder" is 1st (offered to every camper, at least for the "resident"/week-long overnight camp) - obtainable achievement for those who dedicate "free time" to study; next level is "Brave," then "Warrior." &, FYI, totally optional experience for ur camper to "dial-in fully" & choose to be Baptized. Sharing this: at least 3 baptisms announced at this week's Pow-Wow Ceremony. Criticisms (of which I've never posted): To me, Pow-Wow Circle (end of camp concluding ceremony) is SPECIAL: 1. My #1 complaint was the OTHER PARENTS! A. Parents crowding the front: PLEASE understand that folks really want to HEAR what's being said; it's WHY we arrive early, and WHY we sit in the front row is to be able to HEAR! PLEASE don't talk when others are (serious problem this yr, and SO RUDE!). Understand if you have young children in your midst, but um - exercise some awareness (& consider excusing yourself + young one), please! B. Driving/parking: Seriously-PARENTS NOT "getting" Camp Peniel's purpose/goal! Someone nearly hit us to "grab" the parking spot next to us AS we were backing out -why not wait? As coaches, we've found it's so much more often issues with the PARENTS & NOT the kids - so apparent this year at Camp pick up. Plz keep that in mind, parents, - don't ruin it for others! This is a WHOLESOME camp, & a cherished moment to pick up OUR kid(s) - not just yours! 2. Feedback for Camp Peniel: A. "MC" didn't give prior explanation that "Mmmmm" (for the Tehas tribe/Camp Peniel, audience) during the "Pow-Wow Ceremony" is equivalent to clapping. Lots of clapping this year... Apparently, lots of new parents. B. Riflery range: Camp Peniel: Elder son said Pow-Wow Ceremony is when "workers" get to "do" the riflery range... but DURING the Pow-Wow Ceremony? Reminder: 1 in our party was hard of hearing. She did what she could to hear counselors/other speakers. Gun shots, but coupled with the family immediately behind her who didn't stop talking made for a VERY challenging experience! My criticism is minimal, but only to be helpful: to Parents, workers, and to positive future "Pow-Wows." Closing comment is about "Roxy," a baby fox who's growing up at Camp Peniel. Heard a "Chief" mention they're planning to relocate her/him soon for insurance reasons for the camp(s). Though I understand insurance liability concerns, just want to point out that obviously "Roxy" has a home at Camp Peniel. To relocate this fox may impend his/her doom. Camp Peniel: Please at least consider rabies vaccine (trapping/tranquilizing her/him) in order to keep him/her healthy! As God ultimately provides amazing Nature & surroundings, so too may Camp Peniel recognize the wonders & "challenges" presented before them (especially with a "member" of Nature who's "adopted the camp" as his/her home)! After watching Roxy's interactions & shyness immediately before the Pow-Wow Ceremony (& everyone's responses), I personally believe that she/he has a LOT to impart to every camper, counselor, guide, and Director. PLEASE consider Roxy's situation & potential before merely relocation! My husband and I were sick with the consideration of relocation vs the positive potentials Roxy could be to Camp Peniel!!!

Other facilities offered group and trail ride lessons but I wanted individual attention taught by a competent instructor who had personal accomplishments as part of their own resume. I have been thrilled by the quality of instruction given my 5 year old granddaughter. We started out with a trial lesson with Rachel to make sure that my granddaughter was serious and not frightened by the actual size of the horses, not coloring book characters. All went well and we started out with one lesson a week and moved up to two lessons plus recently she attended a wonderful week long horse camp which ended today, taught by Carly another terrific instructor, with many championships under her belt. My granddaughter has progressed tremendously thanks to the competent instruction of Rachel and Carly. She is excited about riding and counts the days from the end of one lesson until the next one. The kids learn about tacking and untacking as part of caring for the riding lesson. The facility is beautiful, clean and well run. They offer boarding if you own a horse too. The patrons are friendly and helpful. To summarize, Madrone Ranch Stables has exceeded my expectations. My granddaughter is happy and and safe at the facility.
