FAQs
What services are included with the lease? For $300/month you will receive
access to our
large, lighted ring and network of trails. This is an "on farm"
lease and the horses may not leave the premises without express
written permission. Riding lessons
and foals
carried by the leased horse are not included in the lease.
We also barter for goods and
services.
Can I take lessons with
my leased horse?
Absolutely! In fact, we encourage riders new to our farm to
participate in lessons with your horse to help strengthen your
partnership and improve your confidence. Lessons are given by
Jarred
Langston for $50/session. To schedule a lesson, please contact our
instructor, Jarred Langston, at 229-977-4939

How do I get
started? The first step is a visit to the farm.
There, you can see our facility, meet us, and view the horses. If you like
what you see, the next step is a lesson so we can
evaluate your riding ability and chemistry with the horse. We can
accomplish this all in the same visit if you like. We reserve the right to
deny leases at our discretion. We will try our best to match you with a
horse whose personality, gait and riding level required will suit you and
make your riding experience fun and safe.
