Would you like to ride a Well-Broke Horse?  If so, you have come to the right place.

We train horses and people, and we have a heck of a lot of fun, too!

Our Training

Dean Briggs, our head trainer, 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.

     Practice Every Week

It doesn't help to have a well-broke horse if you don't have a place where you can enjoy him.  We think you need a place where you and your horse can stay sharp and improve skills.

Every Monday starting at 5 pm you can practice your team roping.  We have indoor and outdoor arenas.

On Wednesdays at 5 pm we have cow-horse practice with buffaloes. 

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.
