Big Horn, WY

Sheridan Wyoming is home to many equestrian properties and equestrian events, not to mention it's home to some famous horses. From the late 1800s, The area around Sheridan and Big Horn Wyoming has been famous for raising many great horses and still today is home to some outstanding polo and rodeo events. Perhaps our most famous horse was Foolish Pleasure, Kentucky Derby winner,who was buried on the Horseshoe Ranch in Dayton Wyoming. Back in the 1920s after WWI, Goelet Gallatin formed the Circle V Polo Company, which was the premier polo operation in the world at the time. See more about this fantastic history. My grandfather raced horses on the Gallatin Ranch and was the first person to ever beat the Crow Indians in a horse race there at the Big Horn Races.

Welcome to one of the most beautiful venues for youth soccer in the United States. The Snickers Big Horn Soccer Cup, formally know as the MARS Big Horn Soccer Cup, will host over 100 youth soccer teams from around Wyoming, South Dakota and Montana. The Big Horn Equestrian Center in Big Horn Wyoming is the host facility, which is also home to the Big Horn Polo Club.

This tournament is a display of what it's like to live in this beautiful area and a testimony to the great people who live here and host this tournament. This same venue will also host the Wyoming Youth Soccer State Cup on Memorial Day Weekend and it will be the Venue for the Wyoming State High School Soccer Championships.

The Big Horn Mountain Foothills are a land of legacy (see video). They were home to the Sioux and the Cheyenne as well as the Crow Indians, and Chief Crazy Horse was born here. His mother was buried in Little Goose Canyon and he lived and spend most of his life trying to defend his home land. It's a land of plenty: plenty of wildlife, scenery and great people. The character of the people who live here is perhaps a reflection of this great and beautiful land or perhaps the character has been shaped by the land. For whatever reason, this land full of history, is still the last best place and it's rare to find such great expanses of undeveloped land. Yes, much of it is private, but it's still there to enjoy from a scenic perspective. It's rare to find ranches for sale in this area, but occasionally they do come on the market. for more information about this unique area, please wisit my website, which is full of properties for sale in the Sheridan Area, or contact me.

This Thursday and Friday at the Big Horn Equestrian Center, the Summer Fundraiser Event will feature Mr. Doug Sheehan- the Knot's Landing actor who will play the Queen and follow up last year's event, which was tremendously funny. The Big Horn Equestrian Center is a fabulous venue for this event in Big Horn Wyoming. For more information on this event or for how you can become a member of this organization or a member of our incredible community in the Sheridan Wyoming area, contact us.

This is the Kellie Howie BBQ and Skeeter's Patio with the polo fields beyond. The play will take place on the patio.

Have you ever spent a summer in Big Horn WY or in the surrounding Big Horn Mountains? Maybe you spent a summer at one of our world-famous dude ranches, or maybe you grew up here and then moved away for one reason or another, as many of us have done. If you're like me, now that you've seen what the rest of the world has to offer, you're now ready to get back to the best place on earth. I did this over 14 years ago and I have no regrets, especially now. Not only is this a beautiful place to live, work and play, but we have low taxes, low crime and high quality of life. Take a trip down "memory lane" with this video, which shows the Big Horn foothills south of Big Horn, WY from a super cub. You start out over the world-famous Big Horn Equestrian Center and the Flying H Polo Club and then you take a nice voyage along the face, overlooking some incredible scenery! Enjoy.
