We had an exciting spring of calving and cattle driving! Cow Krispy Kreme had our only set of twins, Waffle and Wafer. We helped them out with bottles of milk-replacer to supplement what they had to share from Krispy, and they are now settled in to their summer range.

Though Cowboy Mark is no longer offering horseback riding tours, the cowboying never stops. Mark is busy keeping the cattle happy!

Hello from Trails End! As of now, Mark is not offering rides this summer 2022. Phone messages regarding bookings are not being returned.

05/26/2022

Hello Trails End Horse Adventureeees! I know many of you have been reaching out about booking rides for this summer and that the voicemail box is full. Thank you all for your patience!

I wanted to let you know that I got word today from Cowboy Mark that it will be a little longer than normal for him to get back on the road system and begin returning your calls. Sounds like it will be Mid June at the earliest.

P.S. Happy Birthday Today to Cowboy Mark 🥳

It’s that time of year where the leaves are changing colors, the mornings are getting darker, the air a bit chillier and Cowboy Mark starts focusing on his Beef animals…

Although we’re all sad that horse tours are now done for the ‘21 season, I’m sure the horses are all looking forward to a restful winter at the Head of the Bay.

Thanks to all for ridin with us this season! 🤠

The voicemail box is now empty again for those of you who have tried to call about summer riding. Thank you for you patience on this!

Interested in riding with Trails End this summer? Call 907-235-6393 and leave a voicemail. Make sure to leave your name, number, # of riders and the date/s you’re interested in riding. We will begin making reservations once Cowboy Mark and the horses return in a few weeks.

Hope everyone is enjoying their spring! 🤠

Thank you to all who have already reached out about rides this summer. I too am eager to get back on a horse and out to the Head of Kachemak Bay!

Cowboy Mark, the horses and of course Aly the Dog are still off grid living the good life for the winter. If interested in making a reservation for this upcoming summer, please call Trails End Horse Adventures at 907-235-6393 and leave a voicemail with the date/s you’d like to ride, # of riders and a number to call back. Cowboy and the horses will return to the road system in a few months and will return calls then. In the meantime, stay warm! 🙂

Despite all the uncertainties of 2020, one thing we are sure about is how thankful we are to have spent another summer at the Head of the Bay with all of you! Thank you to all those who came riding this year, to all who reached out and to those who continue to reach about riding this fall. Unfortunately, the horseback tours are all done for the 2020 season. Cowboy Mark, Cowgirl Karina and all the horses would like to say thank you for another amazing summer and we look forward to riding with you all in the 2021 season.

Good news, our phone is up and running again! We’ll be doing our 4 hour ride 7 days a week for $120 a person this August. Please call 907-235-6393 to make a reservation! 🤠

06/11/2020

Another summer of riding at the Head of the Bay for Trails End Horse adventures has begun! Call 907-235-6393 to make your reservations now!

Tuesday, we came along this adorable seal pup that had lost his mother with the high tides. We stood by, called the right people for help and now he will be recovering at the Alaska Sea Life Center before being released back into Kachemak Bay. We’re excited to see what other adventures come our way this season! Hope you’ll join us 🤠

05/19/2020

I hope you are all as excited as we are for another summer of horseback rides!

Mark, myself and of course Aly (the dog) brought the cattle across the rivers to their summer home about a week ago. Mark will be over there for a couple more weeks to make sure the cattle settle in okay and that everything goes alright for the last two calves still needing to be born. As soon as Mark is back on the road system, he will return phone calls about booking rides for the summer. Hopefully we will be riding again by early June! In the meantime, thank you for your patience and here are some photos from the Head of the Bay last week!

Another amazing summer of riding at the Head of Kachemak Bay! Thank you to all who came riding with us so far this season and made it yet another enjoyable one! BUT the season isn't over yet! We are still offering our 4 hour ride daily through the month of September, so don't miss out!!

06/03/2019

Answering machine's cleared, so if you've been frustrated by that mechanical 'memory full' message, please try again.
Cowboy Mark hopes to begin returning your calls and filling his summer schedule by Tuesday.

05/31/2019

Finally heard from The Cowboy today. He's dealing with two lame calves out at Fox River and won't be entertaining paying guests for at least a few more days. He knows his machine is full, and he has a long list of callbacks to make, but the animals come first!
He hopes to have things under control and start returning calls on Monday, June 3 when he's expecting some experienced help to arrive.
Sorry to disappoint folks that were hoping for early season rides, and thanks for your patience!

Karina is Cowboy Mark's niece, and often helps guide.
The next couple of weeks wildflowers will be at their peak.

A perfect day for a ride!

07/05/2017

Hello everyone! Had a good 4th of July ride yesterday!

06/14/2017

The Cowboy tells me that he's all caught up returning calls. So if you've been patiently waiting and he still hasn't called you, please try again! 907-235-6393

06/05/2017

Hello everyone!! I went on the first ride of the summer yesterday with Mark. We covered around 16 miles and checked in with the cattle. He's filling up quick for the summer so if you wanna ride give him a call!

05/24/2017

Got word from The Cowboy today!
He's stuck on the far side of the river with cows stuck in ravines and calves stuck in cows, and now with a series of extreme tides coming up he's not going to make it out to the phone for at least another week.
Like 1st of June.

So, if you've already successfully left a voicemail with your request, please be patient. Cowboy Mark WILL get back to you within a couple weeks.

If you haven't yet gotten through 'cause the machine is full, I'm sorry to leave you hanging, but do try again after about the 30th or 31st.
