Kootenai Creek Equestrian Center is an all-purpose riding facility located at Kootenai Creek Ranch in the heart of the Bitterroot Valley, Stevensville Montana. The Equestrian Center is dedicated to providing a positive learning experience for horse and riders of all ages. The family ranch has been in operation since 1972 and was founded by Joseph and Elenita Brown. Joseph and Elenita developed Jebel Arabians, an Arabian horse breeding operation, which focused on breeding high quality Polish Arabian stock, specifically bred for endurance and strength and especially suited for the often-harsh climate and geography of Western Montana. Jebel Arabians produced many champion confirmation and performance horses.
