What We Build
Every website we create is 100% custom - no templates, no cookie-cutter designs. After decades of building websites for horse people, we’ve learned that every operation is different. A breeder’s site needs to showcase bloodlines and foals. An association needs smooth member renewals and show entries. Online auction sites should be easy to use and reliably handle an influx of last minute bids. We take the time to understand your goals before we design anything.
Horse Ranches, Breeders, & Trainers
Whether you’re marketing foals, promoting training and lessons, or standing stallions, we create custom websites that are easy to update and beautifully showcase your horses, your facility, and your program.

What Our Clients Say
Read Testimonials →Real Results for Our Clients
We’ve had the honor of running the National Youth Cutting Horse Association scholarship auction for nearly two decades. That single auction has helped send countless kids to college. When you build something that truly matters to the horse community, the numbers tell the story.
We Know This Industry Because We Lived It.
Big Sky Internet Design was built by horse people. Tom holds a Bachelor of Science in Equestrian Science from Salem College in West Virginia and has trained, boarded, bred, shown, judged, and stood stallions throughout his career.
Tom personally wrote the original code behind our stallion auction platform back in 2007 for the Pacific Coast Cutting Horse Association.
When you call Big Sky Internet Design, you don’t have to explain what a futurity is or why a stallion service auction matters to an association. We already know.
“In 1998 the internet was new and I thought it might catch on. We built a website for our own horse operation first and it just made sense. We had trained horses, showed horses, boarded horses, bred horses, stood stallions, done judging. We knew these people. We could talk to them like one of them. That is not something you can fake.”
- Tom Bruch

Frequently Asked Questions About Horse Website Design
How much does a horse website cost?
Horse websites at Big Sky Internet Design start at $3,000 for a custom designed site. The price depends on how big the site is, what you want it to do, and whether you need auction software or custom programming. We give you a free custom quote on a 30-minute discovery call or Zoom, and most of the time you'll have your quote before we hang up.
Do you only design websites for horse associations?
No. We design for the full horse industry, including ranches, horse trainers, horse breeders, breed associations, performance horse operations, stallion stations, equine reproduction centers, horse trailer dealers, veterinarians, and online auction platforms. Associations and auctions are areas where we have especially deep experience, but roughly half our clients are individual ranches and breeders.
Why not just use Wix, Squarespace, or GoDaddy?
Generic site builders cannot run a stallion service auction, do not understand your horse business, cannot support what an association needs, and share hosting, email, and security with millions of other sites. That is why we built our own hosting on Cloudflare Enterprise.
How long has Big Sky Internet Design been in business?
Since 1998. Owner Tom Bruch has been personally involved in the horse industry his entire adult life, showing horses across twelve states while building this company.
Do you host the websites you build?
Yes. Hosting and maintenance plans start at $750 per year or $75 per month. All plans include software updates, security monitoring, unlimited website content updates, and priority support.
What is the biggest mistake horse operations make with their website?
They never update it. A beautiful website that never changes gives people no reason to come back. That is why we offer unlimited updates at no extra charge. Send us a change every day if you need to.
