When in doubt, let your horse do the thinkin.’ - Unknown 1 Sit tall in the saddle, hold your head up high. Keep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the sky. And live like you ain’t afraid to die. And don’t be scared, just enjoy your ride. - “The Ride” by Chris Ledoux 1 1 OklahomaAgritourism.com 2 Oklahoma’s unspoiled rolling hills, prairies and mesas are ideal settings for real Old and New West adventures. Whether you’re on the hunt for an authentic Western experience, a thrilling horseback ride on the open prairie, a quiet hike or meditative day of fishing, or a simple retreat from the frantic pace of life, Oklahoma offers some of the finest hospitality west of the Mississippi. Ranches and farms are agricultural operations and might have seasonal hours and days, with circumstances and conditions that change frequently. Before traveling, please call ahead for operation times and other pertinent details. In the late 1800s, new settlements were thriving, and along with the growing towns and cities grew a dawning realization that the rowdy times of the American frontier had ended. Nostalgia for the Wild West’s bygone days gave birth to guest ranches where travelers could connect their dreams and fantasies of frontier times to a real-life experience. Today’s guest ranches offer a host of memory-making activities and modern amenities, along with a chance to reconnect with family or friends while enjoying traditional Western adventures. Many offer horseback riding and trails, and might even provide facilities for stabling your horses if you wish to bring them. From roundups and chuckwagon dinners, to sophisticated spa treatments and hot tubs, from cowboy poetry to making moccasins, come enjoy Oklahoma’s rich Western heritage. Guest ranches offer the chance to revel in the romance of frontier times, but both country stays and guest ranches give visitors a chance to catch their breath, watch clouds race across the sky, or take a leisurely stroll under a night sky filled with shimmering stars. Few cowboys ever owned much. The primary reward of being a cowboy was the pleasure of living a cowboy’s life. - Unknown 5 OklahomaAgritourism.com This colored map icon indicates the travel region where the operation is found.
