All the pictures you will see here on our website were taken at our ranch and on the Bradshaw Mountain trails next to the ranch.

Our guided horseback trail rides start at the ranch and venture out into the Bradshaw Mountains. Our trail rides take you through beautiful scenery along Big Bug Creek among rich western history.

The ranch is family owned and operated. Our wranglers have years of experience with good quality horsemanship skills to keep you safe and provide you with a better understanding of your horse before we set out on those beautiful trails.

We'll match you with a mountain horse that best suits your riding ability. We have horses that anyone can ride. You'll be a genuine cowboy or cowgirl before you leave the ranch, confident that you can handle your horse with a smile on your face.

Foothills Ranch is a working ranch. We aren't fancy and are not a tourist trap, but we will provide you with a lifetime of memories and lasting smiles.

We look forward to meeting you and providing you with a relaxing and memorable experience at the ranch and on the trails.
