The Place to Be for Horseback Riding, Camping, and More!

HISTORY

The ranch is a great place for horse trail riding and birthday party places. The Old Caldwell cattle trail crosses the South Canadian River southeast of Fay, OK, crosses our ranch, and continues up to Canton, OK (New Cantonment on the map). From there, it turns northeast and heads up to Caldwell, KS. Thus why we named our riding stables after this trail.

The ranch where Old Caldwell Trail Stables is located was begun in 1893 as a family homestead farm & ranch. Although the name, due to marriage, has changed over the years, the ranch has remained in the same family being handed down through the maternal line to the present day

720 acres of pasture & woods await your recreational pleasure.  Bring your own horse or ride one of ours through scenic woods, along shaded creeks winding through sand hills around cedar, cottonwood, & oak trees. 

Our riding program is tailored to each guest's requirements and all rides are guided with instruction given before heading down the trail.

Primitive camping is available on the ranch as well. Pitch your tent or sleep under the stars. Cook your own meals or arrangements can be made to have them prepared for you by our own Cookie when available.

Our interpretive trail ride takes you on a tour of our ranch where our wrangler will thrill you with true stories of the Native Americans, cowboys, cavalry, marshals & outlaws who once lived and roamed this ranch and surrounding territory.

Add a splash of flavor to the interpretive ride & let us cook for you on the trail a fare any cowhand would relish. Menu is longhorn steak from our own beef, green beans, sliced, fried potatoes and fruit crisp.

Our rules are simple and founded with your safety in mind.
