ABOUT

Drawing on more than three generations of expertise, KS Select Horses is proudly owned and operated by Kris and Brittany Smith. Located on a stunning 140-acre ranch in Clarion, Pennsylvania, we offer a premier selection of horses for riders of all needs and levels. With a 40-stall barn and a dedicated, knowledgeable team, we ensure every horse in our care is well-trained, well-cared for, and ready to ride off with its next owner.


Kris Smith carries on the legacy of his family, whose deep roots in the equine world extend back decades. Kris’s parents, Ray and Terrie Smith, own and operate the Cook Forest Scenic Trail Ride, Dude Ranch & Campground – a true haven for horse lovers. Spanning 32 acres of shaded woodlands on the Southern border of the Allegheny National Forest, the campground offers riders the unique opportunity to explore Northwestern Pennsylvania’s remote trails. Guests can bring their own horses or rent from the Smith family for an unforgettable ride through the picturesque landscape.

At KS Select Horses, we pride ourselves on offering a wide variety of horses suited to different needs. We specialize in family-friendly trail and ranch horses, as well as performance horses ready for the show ring. With a focus on quality and versatility, our selection includes everything from quarter horses and paints to ponies, gypsies, drafts, and draft crosses. Whether you’re looking for a reliable companion for the kids, a working partner for the ranch, or a competitive horse for the show pen, we have the right horse for you.

Plus, each year, KS Select Horses hosts two on-premise auctions. Join us for our KS Spring Select Sale, which typically takes place the third weekend of May and the KS Select Fall Sale, which is usually hosted the third weekend of September. The weekends are filled with fun, excitement and plenty of horses. The weekend kicks off with a preview on Friday night. Saturday morning starts with a tack sale followed by cataloged horses of various breeds and disciplines, coming from all over the U.S.! To learn more, visit our Spring and Fall auction pages.

Our horses are available through private sales, on-premise auctions, and online auctions, making it easier than ever to find your ideal match. When you buy from KS Select Horses, you’re not just purchasing a horse – you’re becoming part of a tradition built on trust, dedication, and a passion for horses.
