The Experience
Yellowsnake Horses Brazos River Ranch is the realization of the dream that legendary outfitter and trail guide James (Yellowsnake) McDonald and his daughter Rhonda McDonald Siver had to share this piece of Texas paradise with the world. After his passing, Rhonda continued his legacy of horsemanship and love of trail riding and officially opened the ranch to the public in May of 2024.

The Ferry and the Bridge
The land around Yellowsnake Horses Brazos River Ranch has been in our family since the end of the Civil War when our ancestors moved here and operated a ferry known as Brannon's Crossing that pulled settlers heading west across the Brazos river until 1906 when the Brannon Bridge, a single lane suspension bridge, was completed and later collapsed in 1934.
Where Are We located?
Just 45 Minutes from downtown Fort Worth
Heading west from Weatherford on I-20, take the Millsap exit 394. Head west on the service road and turn onto Brannon Bridge Circle. You will be headed south. Stay on Brannon Bridge Circle and DO NOT TURN ON GRINDSTONE RD. There will be a sharp right turn, and just a little farther, there will be a sharp left turn onto Strickland Lane and it will bring you down to Meeks Bend, where you can only turn right. Take the gravel road on the left.
