FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Is there a weight limit?
    Yes, our weight limit is 220lbs. However, there are several factors that come into play on how weight affects horses. The main 3 are height, athletic ability, and experience. A lighter rider that slouches and flops on a horse's back is worse than a heavier rider that is balanced and able to physically hold his/her weight evenly by engaging their core. If you are above this weight limit please reach out, we may still be able to accommodate you.
  • What happens if it rains?
    Riding in bad weather is no fun. We don't like to ride or haul horses in it. If the weather does not cooperate on your ride day you will be refunded your deposit in full, or it can be applied to another ride on a prettier day. I always reach out to discuss plans when the weather is questionable.
  • Where are you located?
    Our farm is in Bowdon, GA but we ride at several different parks in Georgia and Alabama. Our main two location are McIntosh Reserve in Whitesburg, GA and Cochran Mill Park in Chatt Hills, GA but we also ride: Pyne Rd Park in LaGrange, GA Hard Labor Creek in Rutledge, GA Wind Creek State Park in Alexander City, AL Talladega National Forest in Talladega, AL
  • What do I wear?
    Long pants/leggings and closed toed shoes. Watch the weather and layer especially in the fall.
  • Do I have to wear a helmet?
    As long as you are over 18 years old you can decline a helmet on your release of liability waiver. Children under 18 are required to wear helmets which are provided.
  • What is the minimum age?
    8 years old is the minimum age to ride trails. We have lessons available for younger children at the farm.
  • Are there steps to help me get on the horse?
    Yes! We have mounting blocks that we ask everyone to use for the health of our horses' backs. You will have assistance mounting and dismounting for you and your horse's safety.
  • What if I have never ridden a horse before?
    That is ok! We have LOTS of first-time riders! We can't wait to introduce you to our favorite pastime and our awesome horses. You will be matched with a horse that is best suited for your first ride and given basic instructions on how to effectively direct him/her on the trail.
  • How many people can you take out at once?
    The maximum group size is 5 riders, but generally only 4 at a time go out. We love this small group size because it is low stress and enjoyable for everyone. No one feels like they are just another person in a line of horses.
