Itinerary / Highlights

Riding Program:
The ranch is situated on two hundred acres of prime Georgia farmland. You can horseback ride for hours and not leave the ranch. Whether you want to ride lazily through lush wooded trails or lope across beautiful open meadows, the ranch is big enough to accommodate any of your needs.

Horseback rides are scheduled twice daily, seven days a week. If you're a beginner, don't worry & riding lessons are available and horses are personally assigned based on your riding experience and preferences. Riders must be 9 years or older to ride on their own on the open trails.

Children under 9 (ages 4-8) are on "limited/restricted riding". The restriction means that they are only eligible to ride tandem (double) with a parent, or ride solo via lead line in the parents care in one of the arenas. They may also have some riding in a corral using the parent's horse time. So, if a parent rides doubled for 1.5 hours out of a possible 2 hours, they may use the last 30 minutes in a corral for the child under the parent's supervision ... and or lead line.

Since most children in this restricted age group are not ready for this responsibility, we don't charge them for it. However, at the parents' discretion, one may upgrade a younger child to the older children's rate (ages 9-15) to gain full riding privileges.

The relaxed riding program even allows guests the unique opportunity to ride on their own if they desire, but small guided groups are always available. You'll be encouraged to groom and help tack the horses for a true hands-on and bonding experience. Whether you want to ride lazily across beautiful open pastures, or trot through lush wooded trails, the ranch can accommodate your needs. And if you feel up to the challenge, they offer an optional 9+ mile trail ride at nearby Hard Labor Creek State Park for an additional fee.
Non Riding Activities: You'll find many ways to relax and unwind at at the ranch. You can enjoy a dip in the swimming pool or a soak in the hot tub. Seasonal flowers and beautiful landscaping adorn the ranch. Enjoy a good book in the shade next the to pool and water fountain. Guests also enjoy playing pool or darts in the game room, riding mountain bikes, throwing horseshoes, shooting basketball, or catching a nap after a meal.
