| Our Farm is located on 43+ acres in Fairburn, our farm is nestled conveniently to just about anywhere. Our clients come from Fayetteville, Douglasville, Fairburn, Palmetto, Peachtree City, Sharpsburg, and even parts of Newnan, Atlanta, College Park, and East Point! We focus on equine education as a whole. Care of our horses and riders is always first-rate, and first in mind. We strive daily for horse and rider comfort and well-being. Our Riding Program... We offer riding lessons for anyone interested, ages 3 and up, as well as beginner, intermediate, and advanced riders, with or without their own horse. Lessons include basic horse care, tacking up, and riding. Please see the fee schedule for rates, as they vary in time, number, and ages. Due to large amounts of interest and demand locally, along with Sara's love of special needs children, we added a therapeutic horsemanship program to our center in November 2009. (We try to make it to the showgrounds once a month, but showing is not in anyway required nor necessary....those who want to go are gladly taken, and those who want to sit and watch are always welcome. We pride ourselves on the relaxed, no pressure environment that we have dedicated ourselves to maintaining.) | |
