TRICK OR TREAT TROT

Location:  3321 W. Sabinal, Utopia, TX

Come have a spooktacular time at the gorgeous McMahon-Bowman 3,500 acre ranch in Utopia, TX.  We will have a fun weekend with challenging obstacles & fun Halloween activities such as costume contest (horse & human) & apple bobbing on a beautiful private ranch.  Most of the terrain is good dirt but there are some rocky areas so we recommend shoes or boots.  There will be primitive camping with horse water available throughout parking area.  Generator & non-generator areas will be separated.  Stalls, pens, & paddocks (that could accommodate 2 horses) will be available for rental.  Pets are allowed but must be on a leash at all times.  Don’t miss your chance to ride this beautiful private ranch in the Hill Country.  It has rolling terrain with huge oaks and, if we’re lucky, running creeks & waterfalls.
