Established in 2000 -- 22 years of CONTINUOUS operation
Arbuckle Trail Rides, LLC was started by Pete and Cheri Wolfe, owners of Wolfe Ranch Quarter Horses. After 35 years of training horses professionally, they needed to slow down and retire from hard competitive riding. Taking out a few trail riders seemed to fit their background perfectly. Now, they cannot keep up with the demand. Sadly, Pete passed away September 11, 2021, at the age of 80. He was still riding and training horses until he fell ill in May. He is sadly, sadly missed. Cheri is continuing with the operation of the trail rides and with raising some of the best saddle horses Pete and Cheri have ever raised. Nothing is going to change in how the rides are conducted.
Oklahoma and International Recognition
We are proud to announce that ATR has been recognized as one of the best trail ride destinations in the country. Recently, we were voted "Best trail ride provider in Oklahoma" by the readers of "Oklahoma Living Magazine", Oklahoma's magazine with the most subscribers in the state. Each year, several International groups come to ride. Many riders come just to learn from the Wolfes' more than 100 years of combined horse training knowledge and to hear some of their horse stories. They have been told countless times: 'You need to write a book'.
Pete and Cheri have always loved to show visitors their stallions, mares and babies. Cheri, though battling crippling degenerative spine disease, (along with her wonderful help that has been with her and Pete for more than 5 years), is going to continue raising great saddle horses for ranch, professional rodeo and recreational riders. She and Pete sold horses all over the US and around the world!
Please CALL!!! Cheri only has a PC and struggles with mobility, so please CALL or TEXT and do not completely count on e-mail correspondence.
When you call for reservations, please make sure all children have a waiver signed by a parent or guardian if one is not accompanying them. A waiver can be downloaded and printed from this site. Thank you! Cheri
All rides are set up with reservations. Please call or text (580) 993-0097.
You can use GPS to the Artesian Hotel in Sulphur and then continue 4.4 miles further north on US 177 and you will be in front of the ranch!!! You can also put 'Arbuckle Trail Rides' into Google- ONLY GOOGLE! It will take you right to the ranch gate!
Please excuse the mess at the ranch. The ranch was hit by a huge EF4 tornado that wiped out our 2 homes, our barn, sheds and all fences. We are still trying to get rid of all the debris.
NO SMALL CHILDREN MAY BE CARRIED IN THE SADDLE BY AN ADULT. 5, 6 & 7 year olds may only go on the 1 hour ride. Children 8 and up may go on the 1 hour ride on the ranch or the 2 hour ride in the mountains.
