Come experience some of the best horse trails Wisconsin has to offer. BVR lies in the Wisconsin River Valley in the area known as the Driftless region. This part of Wisconsin is glaciated, being spared by the last great ice age that covered the rest of the state 10,000 years ago. The melting glacier formed the river valley which is over 2 miles wide and is surrounded by steep wooded hills that are filled with wildlife and offers many scenic vistas. Here you can cross natural streams, gallop in the open prairies or simply enjoy a walk in the woods.

If you haven't experienced Big Valley Ranch - you haven't ridden what I consider to be the best trails in the State! And, the accommodations for the horses are unmatched as well, IMO.

Thank you and all your helpers and land owners! I had a wonderful time and would come back another time! In Eastern Wisconsin we have flat ground. Riding at Big Vally Ranch was the most challenging terrain that I have encountered since living in Wyoming! The horse pens, camping, and hospitality were great! You all did a great job with your first and second event!
Thanks again - Bev Ellison and the big black horse, Gunther
