About Us

Our Story

Mark and Abby purchased the Cottonwood Equine Center in 2019 to nurture their passion for horses, events, and hospitality. Over the years Cottonwood has evolved into not only an equine facility, but a home away from home for equine competitors, travelers, and people from all walks of life to relax and find themselves in an authentic Montana experience.

 The Cottonwood has the foundation for everything an unforgettable event needs and we can’t wait to host yours.

We are driven by values and Experience

EVENT PRODUCERS

Let’s just be honest – when you’re producing an equine event, the stakes are high. You have to find a quality venue… in an accessible location… that’s appropriate for your event… all while still making a profit. The process can be stressful, time- consuming, and emotionally exhausting. The good news is this: At The Cottonwood Equine Center, we’ve been in your shoes and we know how to make any event a success.

As attendees, competitors, and producers, we possess a unique 360 perspective on equine events. By utilizing that background, we produce worry-free professional experiences for events of all shapes and sizes. The Cottonwood is committed to providing an unforgettable, top-notch venue where everyone feels like a champion. Here, you can rest assured that you’re getting quality facilities with the best ground and providing a memorable, fun experience for competitors and attendees alike.

Sure, you could risk the reputation and growth of your business on another venue. Or, you could have the confidence of knowing that, with The Cottonwood, your event will always be a success.
