Green Tie Guys have begun stepping up for girls in our community
Our two-lesson introductory package is designed for riders who wish to begin taking regular lessons at our barn. It is a prerequisite for beginner and intermediate lesson students and will assist them in becoming familiar with our facility and instructors.
The first lesson is 30 minutes and includes an introduction to barn safety, a basic groundwork-style lesson, and 15 minutes of riding on a horse suited to their experience level. The second lesson lasts an hour; riders gain hands-on experience by grooming, tacking, and learning how to prepare their horse for a safe ride. The lesson ends with riding time and builds a strong foundation in riding basics for future lessons. After this introductory package, every lesson will be an hour long. We hope to see you in our barn soon!
Lessons are available for Kindergarten through Adult.
K-1 riders will need to attend with an adult who will lead the horse.
To protect the health and safety of our horses and participants, the maximum weight limit for participants in Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta horse riding programs is 250 lbs. Current research shows that horses should carry no more than 20% of their weight. Our limit is based on the size of our horses, weight of our equipment, and the type of activities we provide. As a Certified Horsemanship Association (CHA) accredited site, we have established this policy in accordance with their safety protocols and recommendations.
