Our Training

Dean Briggs, our head trainer and instructor, has been training horses all his life, starting as a ranch kid on a Wyoming cattle ranch.  The core idea of his training is that a Well-Broke Horse keeps its body parts aligned and balanced throughout every maneuver. 
This is a simple idea.  It’s the foundation of all athletic maneuvers, whether human or animal.  But this fundamental idea can be overlooked because horses are creatures that can do amazing things even when unbalanced and out of alignment.  They do it all the time, which can cause us to think the horse is doing his best.

Roping Practice

On Monday's at 5 pm, we get set up for our roping practice.  Weather does not matter to us.  When it's nice we are in the outside arena.  Bad weather and cold is no problem we just move inside.

Cowhorse Practice

On Wednesdays at 5pm, we train our horses on buffaloes.  This is great for horses--young or old, experienced or not.  It's a controlled situation that allows you to work your horse slow and easy or at a faster more challenging pace.

Special Events

In addition to our weekly events, we schedule special events each year that we tailor to the interests of our customers.  Dean’s horsemanship clinics are always in demand and we limit them to just 12 riders.  We take team sorting to a new level with our Halloween costume sorting.  We have a variety of youth events.   And we set aside a day every fall  to show our customers how much we appreciate them.

There aren’t many of us left.  The small, family ranches are rapidly disappearing.  So we feel very lucky to be the second generation to run the Briggs Ranch, which is in the Gallatin Valley about 60 miles west of Bozeman, Mt.  The Tobacco Root Mountains and Jefferson River are at our backdoor to the south, the town of  Whitehall—no traffic lights— is about a mile north, and the Continental Divide closes the valley on the west. It’s a great place to raise a family, and work with livestock.  We count our blessings daily. Here is our crew--from left, Dean and Wendy with their sons Lance and Shawn, with his wife, Nikki.
