Above -- a 1 hour ride on the ranch
October - December, 2020 ride schedule
We are offering 1 hour rides on the ranch almost every day, year 'round -- by reservation as well as lessons and lesson rides! No hunting is allowed on our ranch.
Two hour rides will be offered in the Chickasaw National Recreation Area in the Arbuckle Mountains ONLY when there are no 'gun' hunting seasons open to public hunting. Listed below are all of the hunting dates during October through December 31, 2020. Two hour rides will go on as usual January 1, 2021. Thank you for understanding
As you can see, there are only 3 weekends that we can ride after October 16. There are a few more week-days that we can ride in the mountains. We just cannot ride during ANY gun hunting seasons.

Established in 2000 -- 21 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 -- at least until the pandemic hit. Pete and Cheri are both nearly 80 years old and have lived on this place for 39 years.
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 Wolfe's 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'. They love to show visitors their stallions, mares and babies. They have sold horses all over the US and around the world!
Please CALL!!! We only have a PC and Cheri has not been feeling well, so please CALL and do not completely count on e-mail correspondence.
Call for reservations and make sure all children have a waiver signed by a parent or guardian if one is not accompanying them. 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!!!
Please excuse the mess at the ranch. The ranch was recently hit by a huge EF4 tornado that wiped out the house, 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.
Watch for 'special' rides in 2021 -- depends on the pandemic
