Reviews:
"Myself and my wife were in the area on vacation from the UK and we visited Bob for a true western riding experience. We were blown away not only by his fantastic instruction, his beautiful land, his amazing horses and the unbelievable fun we had, but also as to how friendly, professional and great fun he was whilst we spend several hours on the Circle D. Herding some of Bob’s steers and the introduction to barrel racing patterns was great and all taught/guided throughout. It was the highlight of our trip and will definitely be going back when in the area again".
Hi Bob! I just wanted to send a quick message to thank you again for imparting your knowledge on Erin in such a professional, methodical and positive manner. She learned so much from you and I know will be putting all of your lessons to great use.
Hi Bob,
You have made a massive impact on our lives. We really enjoyed your lessons and thank you so much for your knowledge and patience. I can only say I wished we lived closer so we could spend more time with you.
Please keep in touch,
Stephanie and Pearse

I’ve been riding with Bob on and off for the past 5 years. Starting from the beginning, Bob taught me the fundamentals of horsemanship. In turn, giving me the ability to excel in the equine industry with my profession.
While I am no longer learning to rope or ride from Bob, I do make it a point to go shoot the breeze with him as often as I can.
Bob is one in a million when it comes to good horsemanship. Most importantly he is patient with his clients. He is a wonderful teacher, friend, and of course… a storyteller.
Whether or not you are familiar with horses, or scared of them, Bob will make your time there worth it. You are guaranteed to leave with a smile. So if you are on the edge about where you should spend your time and money, this is 110% the place.

Dear Bob,
I just wanted to send you a heartfelt thank you for everything you did for me this week.
Thank you for your time, your patience, and for sharing so much of your knowledge with me. You made every lesson enjoyable, fun, and full of stories and insights that I’ll remember for a long time. You didn’t just teach me western riding and ranching—you opened the door to a completely different world. Somehow it feels like that world had always been there, waiting for me, and thanks to you I finally got to step inside it.
Thank you for trusting me, for showing me your ranch, and for giving me the chance to experience authentic ranch life instead of just seeing it from the outside. That means more to me than you probably realize.
Please give a big thank you from me to Sonny, Cowboy, and Sky for taking such good care of me and patiently carrying me around all week. They were the best teachers too! And, of course, thank you to the cows for tolerating all my attempts to move them around without filing any complaints! I hope they’ve already forgiven me.
This experience will stay with me as one of the most special memories of my trip to Texas. I came here curious about the western world, and I’m leaving with a genuine appreciation and respect for the lifestyle, the horses, the cattle, and the people who live it every day.
Thank you again for your kindness, generosity, and for making me feel so welcome. I truly hope our paths cross again someday.
Until then, take care, and I wish you, your family, the horses, and everyone at the ranch all the very best.
Warm regards,
Dora
