Indian Head Ranch

As many of you know, the annual Gentleman’s Trail Ride at Indian Head Ranch has been a cherished tradition for years since dear friends Patrick Swayze and Steve Alvis took over the famous Trail Ride on the Bell Ranch following the former owner’s passing. This year, we have made some exciting changes that are sure to make this ride even more memorable on Patrick’s—or as most call him here, Buddy’s—legacy.

Detach from your work and the stress of everyday life and spend time horseback riding, cattle branding and soaking in the beautiful sunsets and stars of New Mexico. The real magic happens when the sun goes down and we gather around the campfire to hear stories from hall of fame songwriters and amazing artists. These evenings aren’t just concerts; they are intimate moments shared between friends new and old, listening to the stories behind your favorite country music songs.

Nights like these are where country music was born. The Trail Ride has always been centered around camaraderie, adventure, and celebrating the cowboy spirit. Whether you are an experienced cowboy or a first-time rider, we promise that this will be an adventure that you will not forget.

The bonds you forge here will lead to friendships that can weather any storm. If you are receiving this letter, your presence is wanted and means a lot to our family. Please find your invitation attached. This is an exclusive event for invitees only and spaces are limited, so please RSVP by 8/2/24 to confirm your spot. We promise that this will be a year to remember, and it won’t be the same without you. We look forward to seeing you at the ranch!
