Horse ownership is a joy no matter where you live. Each area has its own unique horse community and vibe. Here in Alaska, we have wonderful horse communities. Each area in Alaska has its own horse keeping challenges. Throughout Alaska we have great trainers with varying disciplines. In Anchorage and Palmer, there are beautiful equestrian centers that have much to offer the horse community. Alaskans are provided tons of opportunities for rodeos, dressage, breed shows, hunter/jumpers, and trails to explore.
Despite being more remote, Alaska is able to provide access to the national brands for supplements, gear, and feed. There are some challenges to horse ownership in Alaska. It can be more expensive, and there are limited options when it comes to feed stores, horse shows and vets. These challenges bring the horse community closer together and they are willing to help each other and the horses. One way to keep your horses close and have options is to purchase your own horse property. How do you choose the right one?
