ABOUT US - HISTORY
The Missoula Equestrian Park has been in existence for over twenty years. Planning for the Park was started in 1983 by a small group of horse enthusiasts. They incorporated as the Missoula Horsemen’s Council in 1984. By 1997, the Council had achieved an IRS designation as a non-profit, charitable 501(c)(3) organization.
At the present time, the Missoula Horsemen’s Council oversees the care and maintenance of 100 acres stretching from the Community Gardens on Spurgin to North Ave, and from Tower Rd to 37th Ave. We are overseen by the Stewardship Committee of Big Sky Park which in turn is overseen by County Parks. There is a mandate guiding our development that we must abide by in order to keep this land as an equestrian park. Most of the land must be preserved as a natural habitat. We have been able to work within the mandate constraints to successfully establish and maintain a wide variety of venues for equestrian activities.
