Trail Rides |
Horseback riding in Texas doesn’t get much better than at Wildcatter Ranch & Resort. Located just 90 minutes from the Dallas/ Fort Worth Metroplex and near Possum Kingdom Lake, Wildcatter Ranch offers horseback riding as one of its main activities. There are plenty of places to go horseback riding in Texas, but three things really set us apart from all the other ranches; our wranglers, our horses, and our land.
Our well trained wranglers are friendly and courteous and more importantly they will make you comfortable riding your horse. Our pre-ride orientation will teach you the skills you'll need for a safe, fun ride. If you're an old hand at riding then we can review the skills that you already have.
Our Wildcatter Ranch “General Riding Policies” is a good place to start if you want to know more about horseback riding at Wildcatter Ranch. Click here to go to the policies page. If you would like to book your trail ride now, prior to you visit, then click here to go to our Online Concierge. |

Private Rides |
Private trail rides are a great way to make your horseback ride a more personal event. It’s a way for families, couples, or individuals, to enjoy the ranch guided by your very own wrangler! In addition, a child as young as 8 may take place in a private trail ride. The only thing required is that the child must be able to demonstrate his/her ability to safely and consistently control their horse.
These “private trail rides” are available on request (subject to wrangler availability) for an additional fee. Our Wildcatter Ranch “General Riding Policies” is a good place to start if you want to know more about horseback riding at Wildcatter Ranch. Click here to go to the policies page. |

Mighty Bucky |
| The Wildcatter Horse Barn is not just for riding horses. Bull riding is quickly becoming one of the most popular sports in America. We won’t put you on a real bull here, but we do have a training tool that many of the top professional bull riders in the nation use. Mighty Bucky and Little Bit Bucky (for our younger cowboys and cowgirls) is a fun way to learn the basics, rules, and techniques of bull riding. Having a staff at the horse barn that is actively involved in the sport of rodeo insures that every detail is covered. For more information please call our front desk at 940-549-3500 or you can email Jay. |

Birthday Parties |
| Looking for a unique birthday party for your child? The horse barn at the Wildcatter Ranch is the perfect place for an out of the ordinary birthday party! For the younger kids (5-9 years old) a stick horse rodeo is a fun birthday experience. Birthday parties don’t always have to be for the little kids. The older kids (10-70 years old) may enjoy trying their hand at simulated bull riding on the Mighty Bucky. The Mighty Bucky is a training tool used by some of the top professional bull riders in the nation. It is manually operated, so we can run it just as slow or just as fast as you would like. Any way you go, a birthday party at the Wildcatter Horse barn is sure to be a hit. Email Jay or Julie for more details and pricing. |
