Absolutely one of the best saddle clubs around!! Very friendly, warm and supportive club members!! Youth and inexperienced riders are welcomed and cheered on by others which makes it very encouraging for them. They also have fun trail rides, clinics, great club meetings and more!!

Silver Buckle Saddle Club’s mission is to provide a safe, family focused place for equestrians to gather and compete. Silver Buckle is part of the Western Saddle Club Association and hosts 4 WSCA qualifying shows each summer. In addition, Silver Buckle hosts UBRA and PEWC barrel races and is a partner to the Hennepin Hoofbeats 4H club. The 4Hers use Silver Buckle arena for all their mounted meetings and shows. SBSC has been in Plymouth since 1947, and continues to fundraise each year to raise enough money for our property taxes—which are more than $9,500. If you want to support the Silver Buckle community, please visit our website and reach out!!

So many memories with the Silver Buckle Saddle Club. I didn't live here in the early incarnation of this club but certainly showed plenty of horses at this Plymouth location. It's fun to see the juxtaposition of the horse arena and the neighboring communities. Sadly that same proximity may make it harder for people to experience horse shows in the metro area. Silver Buckle Saddle Club was founded in Plymouth, MN in 1964. By 1973, Plymouth was transforming into a suburb and the saddle club was forced to relocate to the northwest corner of Plymouth, it's current location on County Rd 47. This land was owned by Silver Buckle's founding father, Harlan Peterson (1922-2015). Harlan and the membership built the beautiful outdoor arena that has hosted horse shows for the last 44 years. When I stopped out at the property it does look like the saddle club is again facing the problem of urban sprawl. ​ Silver Buckle hosts WSCA shows, UBRA/ PEWC barrel races, annual trail rides, and other special events for their members. The saddle club also partners with Hennepin Hoofbeats 4H club to provide a safe arena for the club to host horse shows and mounted meetings. Stop in and see one of the horse shows (schedule usually on their website) during the show season, you'll enjoy seeing the horses and riders.
