About the Event

About the Event

Starlight Equestrian Ranch is proud to invite our community to the Grand Opening Celebration of a living, breathing horse ranch rooted in land, legacy, and connection.

This all-day celebration will bring together families, horse lovers, local businesses, and community leaders for a day of live music, ranch experiences, food, dancing, and purpose-driven giving—all set against the mountain beauty of Big Bear City.

This event also serves as a fundraising celebration in support of Shoestring City Ranch, a volunteer-powered sanctuary dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming neglected horses and animals.

A Living Ranch, Open to the Community

This celebration honors the land, the horses, and the people who make ranch life special. You’ll feel the heartbeat of the ranch in every hoofbeat, every song, and every shared moment.

Whether you’re a lifelong horse lover or visiting a ranch for the first time, you’re invited to experience something real, warm, and deeply meaningful.

Memorial Day Weekend Tribute

As we celebrate new beginnings, we also pause to honor the spirit of Memorial Day, a time of remembrance, gratitude, and togetherness. We welcome families, friends, and the community to gather in appreciation of freedom, life, and shared purpose. This weekend, let us pay tribute to the brave veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. Their courage and dedication to our country serve as a powerful reminder of the price of our freedoms. Each moment we share and every memory we cherish is a reflection of their unwavering commitment to protecting our way of life. Together, let us honor their legacy, ensuring that their sacrifices are forever remembered in our hearts and in our actions.

Giving Back During Our Grand Opening

In the true spirit of community and celebration, Starlight Equestrian Ranch is honored to dedicate part of our Grand Opening Celebration to giving back. As we open our gates and begin this new chapter, we are proud to host a fundraising event in support of Shoestring City Ranch, a local rescue devoted to saving horses and other animals in need.

Shoestring City Ranch provides sanctuary, rehabilitation, and second chances for neglected and abused animals—helping them heal both physically and emotionally before placing them into loving, forever homes. Their incredible work is made possible entirely through volunteer support, guided by compassion and sustained by the generosity of the community.

As we celebrate new beginnings at Starlight Equestrian Ranch, we invite you to join us in helping create new beginnings for animals who need it most.

This Grand Opening is not only a celebration, it’s a call to come together and make a meaningful impact.
