THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THE BSHP PET RUN IS TO BRING MULTIPLE USER GROUPS TOGETHER TO SHARE THE BEAUTY, LOCATION, AND NON-EQUESTRIAN BENEFITS OF THE PARK.

*

BECAUSE THE BIG SKY HORSE PARK IS NOT A DEDICATED PARK, IT IS ALWAYS AT RISK OF DISAPPEARING AND BEING REPLACED BY DEVELOPMENT. WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT TO PROTECT THE PARK FOR THE LONGTERM!

*

THE BEST WAY TO DO SO IS TO BECOME A NON-RIDER SUPPORTER https://www.bigskyhorsepark.org/membership! YOUR ANNUAL $25 MEMBERSHIP HELPS PAY FOR THE UPKEEP AND PRESERVATION OF THE WILDLIFE HABITAT AND GREEN SPACE INSIDE THE BIG SKY HORSE PARK.

THE BIG SKY HORSE PARK, LOCATED AT THE HEART OF MISSOULA COUNTY, IS BEAUTIFULLY MAINTAINED AND ACTIVELY PRESERVED BY A BOARD OF EQUESTRIAN FOCUSED VOLUNTEERS- ALL OF WHOM ARE ALSO DOG OWNERS! THE MISSOULA HORSE COUNCIL LEASES MORE THAN 90 ACRES OF THE PARK FROM MISSOULA COUNTY TO HOST EVENTS AND PROVIDE OPEN SPACE FOR ALL. THOUGH EQUESTRIAN ACTIVITIES ARE SEASONAL, THE BIG SKY HORSE PARK IS OPEN 365 DAYS OF THE YEAR TO WALKERS, RUNNERS, DOG OWNERS, AND HIGH SCHOOL TRACK TEAMS.
