Double J Ranch - Oklahoma City

Explore a past that spans American Indians, oil and cattle barons, cowboys and pioneers of jazz - all in a setting that remains remarkably pure and unspoiled. Did you know Oklahoma has more horses per capital than any other state? Another sign that the ranching heritage is alive and well.

Here at the Double J Ranch you get a taste of the cowboy life and culture - and a big cup of campfire coffee. If you are already an experienced rider you can saddle your horse and ride at your heart's content - even unaccompanied (at wrangler's discretion). There are plenty of horses - and trails to choose from. You will be matched with your horse and take care of it on a daily basis, including saddling your horse (of course with help from the rancher!).

The ranch is a working cattle ranch and you can join the rancher with his daily chores, however cattle work is only available when the cows need it not when the guests request it! Riding lessons are offered as well as roping lessons (fee), and you can sharpen your skills in the ranch's large arena.

Away from the ranch more unspoiled landscape of Oklahoma's heartland invites you to ride for miles and miles. Back at the ranch relax while fishing at one of the for ponds on property, go hiking or try a hand on target shooting. Nearby Sportman's Lake offers the opportunity to go swimming. In the evening you can relax on your porch and watch the stars or play pool and darts in the ranch's "western saloon".
