About Big Horn
Tucked against the base of the Bighorn Mountains along Little Goose Creek, Big Horn offers a scenic, peaceful slice of Wyoming living just a few miles south of Sheridan. The area grew around historic cattle ranches and 19th-century routes like the Bozeman Trail, and it still holds onto that quiet Western character today. Daily life centers around the well-regarded local K-12 school, where sports and school activities bring neighbors together throughout the year.
Equestrian traditions run deep here, anchored by the Big Horn Equestrian Center, which hosts summer polo matches, youth sports, and community gatherings against the mountain backdrop. Between Little Goose Creek, nearby hiking trails up the canyon, and a quick drive into Sheridan for shopping and dining, Big Horn gives residents a quiet, tight-knit country lifestyle with easy access to everyday conveniences.
