Horseback Riding in Covington, Georgia (Newton County)

I teach western riding lessons for ages 4 through adult. I have a 15 year record of safety and success with hundreds of riders both for recreation and competition. I own 17 horses and have my students learn to ride as many of them as possible so that they become excellent riders with many different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Our farm trains for and holds competitive trail riding competitions for those who wish to compete. We have miles of trails and many areas to ride. I teach 5 days a week, but I have a staff of instructors that allow us to teach 7 days a week. One thing that sets us apart from other farms is that we teach the rider the best control and balance by not using stirrups until the rider is at an advanced level. This teaches the rider to grip with his/her body and to become one with the horse when moving through the various gaits. We also teach the rider to use gentle aids that do not require much force and that foster building relationships with the horses. We teach low jumping for western riding as well for those who wish to jump obstacles out on the trail. My staff and I teach with patience and allow riders to learn at their own pace. We make the experience highly instructional in a fun and relaxed manner for the rider. We make sure that all riders learn to catch, groom, tack, and lunge the horses they ride so that they get the full experience and move towards independence.... See More

On May 1, 2013, a new era will begin at Huntcliff. We will now be known as River Run Equestrian at Huntcliff. Many new and exciting programs and improvements are in the works. Our goal is to offer the highest quality educational experience to our riding students. We will go beyond merely sitting on a horse to knowing what's going on inside the horse. Not just riding lessons really because our students will become well rounded horsemen capable of pursuing any discipline as an effective partner. All of this will be accomplished in an enjoyable environment whose hallmark is safety. We have assembled an incredible staff with vast experience, know how, and communication skills. Whether or not you or your child rides with competition as a goal, this approach will take you further.

Additionally, we have committed to bringing Atlanta's best Therapeutic Riding program to River Run. Although, we feel all riding is therapeutic, we know for some it's an essential part of their recovery and management of many disabilities. We have witnessed the miracle that can occur when the bond between horse and human is developed.

Our boarding and training program will also be redefined. Not only will we offer unmatched personal care, residents will be the beneficiaries of world class instruction and training.... See More
