About Broken Bow Ranch
A beloved Dallas landmark with 150+ years of Western heritage
Rich in Texas History…
A beloved Dallas landmark owned by the Phillips family for over 150 years, now under the guidance of our female-led owner, Gay Leigh Bingham! Sharing the joys of horseback riding with thousands of visitors over the past few decades, Broken Bow Ranch is at the forefront of caring for and training horses.
The Phillips family and its ranch have been an integral part of establishing horsemanship and official Texan competitions, helping organize the Stock Horse of Texas. For generations, this land has been a gathering place for riders, families, and those who love the open air of the Texas countryside.
Over the years, we've raised and trained dozens of horses, taught hundreds of riders, and led thousands of visitors through our trails. Caring for and teaching others our love for horses is what we're all about.
Our Mission
"To create an outdoor experience where horses help us connect to ourselves and nature."
We do what we do because not only do we have a history of equestrian passion but also a thumb on the pulse of Texas Horse Competitions. We invest in our horses and want to invest in our riders who come to learn with us.
