| Here at Big Bear Farm we raise Connemara Ponies and Sport Horses. We breed using our stallion Fergus. We then raise, train, and compete our ponies and horses. We compete our horses in Dressage, Eventing, and Jumper competitions. We also use them with our Equine Assisted Psychotherapy Program called Enoch Ministries. Leigh Ellen Roberts is the head trainer and instructor at Big Bear Farm. She is also a therapist for Enoch Ministries.
