as you saddle up to ride .. . or take a hayride ...out to join the ranchhands as they work cattle; and eat a chuckwagon breakfast or dinner. Where you'll taste the flavors of real cowboy food, cooked on the mesquite grill at the Post Oak Mott/Arena in the pasture.

like play a round of golf, take a dip in the large swimming pool, or try your luck with a fishing rod and reel. If you're a nature lover, discover a birder's paradise at the wetlands area project, or venture out on a hike to the pastures . . . a habitat for many south Texas species of wildlife . . . whitetail deer, feral hog, javelina, bobcat, turkey, sandhill crane... and night time coyote calling.

Watch team steer roping by ranchhands and local cowboys as they practice in the large arena. Occasional country western music and dancing at the Longhorn Saloon. And when evening comes, you'll sit on logs around the campfire and watch the sun drop below the wide horizon. Roast marshmallows and listen to tall tales, or sing a ballad of the old west.
