   Welcome to the 5th annual Big Sky Futurity and Aged Event!

  We are very excited to once again be producing the top quality, truly unique Big Sky Futurity & Aged Event. We have several exciting changes to tell you about for this year’s Big Sky Aged Event. First off, a brand new venue, brand new town! The Majestic Valley Arena is located in the heart of the Flatehead Valley and offers a great indoor arena for our show pen; as well as a Montana picturesque setting for all of us to experience and enjoy. The MVA is considered one of the premier multi-event centers in the Northwest and is unmatched for hosting many national caliber equestrian events.

  Thursday afternoon offers a great opportunity to come and watch the best of the best Classic/Challenge horses cut it up competing for the BSAE 5/6 Open Championship. Following our Open 5/6 Finals, we will be Calcuttaing both our Pro/Am teams, as well as our Bridleless competitors. Dru Stewart always delivers a fun, fast paced Calcutta for all of us to participate in and hopefully win! So come ready to bid and then stay to watch the first half of our Pro/Am Class, featuring the Open riders. The second go of our Pro/Am takes place Friday afternoon, same great horses, but it’s the AM/NP rider’s time to shine.

  Also Friday afternoon is our “Cutters Appreciation BBQ” sponsored by the Montana Ranch of Bigfork. Just our way of saying THANK YOU to all that have came and competed. Whether you won big or donated, each and every one of you cowboy up’d and weathered all that was blown at us the last several years! Your continued support and participation is the backbone of this event and it is greatly appreciated.

  7:00 pm Friday evening is the time set for our Tough Enough To Wear Pink Bridleless cutting. This has proven to be a spectacular event enjoyed by all. Last year with $2,000 raised and 400 in attendance the Big Sky Aged Event, along with the Great Falls community proudly showed its support for the fight against breast cancer—cowboy style!! So be sure to sport some pink, grab two cans of food for the Flathead Food Bank, and come out and enjoy our “Cuttin’ For A Cure” Bridleless event.

  In conjunction with our TETWP Bridleless Cutting, the Big Sky Aged Event, with the great support of First Class Outdoors, is proud to host a live auction of two once in a lifetime hunts: an incredible 7 day African Safari rifle hunt and a 5 day Arizona Couse Deer/Black Bear archery hunt.

  Lastly, the Big Sky Aged Event would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank all of our great sponsors-we couldn’t have done this without you—THANK YOU!
