"Today, the nuns have become so successful in their horse-breeding enterprise that their home is known as the Monastery of Miniature Horses. The nuns, Franciscan Poor Clares who have supported themselves over the years here with a variety of animal enterprises -- they have raised cats and all manner of birds -- live on a 98-acre ranch here in Washington County between Houston and Austin... They now charge $3 for adults and $1 for children."
Google shows there's another one in... "Buda"? Which claims to be just south of Austin, but they aren't nuns, and also don't say anything about tours for people who don't want to buy one of their very own.

I have no idea where that is, since I can still only find Austin on a map because there's a star there.
