Equestrian sport in Big Bear is rooted in tradition but evolving into something much broader — a performance-driven, experience-rich environment that blends western heritage with modern training and competition. Surrounded by forest, alpine meadows, and open trail systems, riders have access to terrain that naturally develops balance, endurance, and connection between horse and rider. With the return of the historic Big Bear Rodeo and the introduction of emerging disciplines like Skijoring, this category is expanding into a dynamic mix of culture, sport, and spectacle that is uniquely suited to the mountain environment.
