This year I took my 40th birthday by the reins and ventured out to Georgia Frontiers with the family for an hour trail ride in the great outdoors! It's been a while since I've been on a horse and this was the first ride for my kiddo. Before I forget to mention the barn is equipped with helmets if you would like one which is so awesome! After filling out the paperwork they give a brief tutorial before your ride on how to stop/start/ guide the horse to do what you want which was really helpful. The horses were so sweet and gentle my daughter rode Simon, I rode Rusty, and my husband got Bella. The trail was great a little narrow at times between trees but the horses definitely kept us on track and going smoothly. My husband ended up getting the sweetest horse who loved to stop every couple of minutes for snacks so every time we looked back he was a bit behind us lol! It made for a great moment that we will remember and laugh about for years to come! Our guide was very knowledgeable and great with my daughter who despite being nervous beforehand rode like she had been riding her whole life! Proud mama moment for sure!! Their barn cat greeted us when we got back and was all purrs & brushing up against our legs such a little cutie (check out the picture). We got to meet all of the other horses and fed our horses a treat in their buckets after the ride! We had a fantastic time and we really enjoyed the horses and the beautiful scenery! If you love horses whether you're a beginner or just want a great spot to get back in the saddle check this place out for sure! It's a blast!! read more

We enjoyed our two hour ride. The guides were friendly and the horses were calm. They let us even run them in certain places. I am advanced beginner. It was a beautiful untouched wood area, with a Creek. I definitely would come back. read more

Georgia Frontiers saved the day. Only request of our 10yr old during our Spring Break trip was a horse ride. Due to poor planning on the parent's part () we did not have reservations and were looking for same day. After 5 calls to places in the Blue Ridge area where we were staying, all who were booked, reached Jessica at GF. She had an opening at 1p... which worked out great because we had a 1hr drive to get there. Once we arrived, staff was very polite and we had a great ride. We even got to get our horses up to a trot! Would definitely recommend!! NOTE-- you save $5 per person paying cash, which is great to turn around and use to tip your leader. read more

Best place to trail ride in Georgia. If you're up to it, guides will pick up the pace so you can trot or canter if able. The trails are just beautiful, through lovely hardwoods and pines, along clear streams. Horses are well behaved and well cared for. So much fun!! read more

I had a fabulous time at Georgia Frontiers. Everyone was super nice, the horses were beautiful and the ride was great. My experience truly couldn't have been any better. And it's only about 30 minutes north of 285/75. Totally worth the drive and even that is lovely. I highly recommend and would not hesitate to go back. read more

A phenomenal experience for both beginners and experienced riders! The trails are true trail riding trails with beautiful foliage, winding streams, hills, water crossings and opportunities to pick up the pace at the comfort of the least experienced rider. Our guide was very knowledgeable and the owner was quite welcoming! They take great care of their horses and have a fabulous sense of humor with their website. I will definitely be returning! read more

Georgia Frontiers - Horseback Riding Near Me - Canton, Georgia

My wife had several hectic weeks and was in the need of break so for her birthday I decided to take her horseback riding over the weekend. I researched numerous facilities and Great Frontiers seemed to offer the best packages, location and trails. Little did I know now how good this was until we arrived on Saturday morning. The location was easily found through Google Maps; tucked away in the foothills Canton, Georgia. The gravel road led us to the stables where several beautiful horses were playing while waiting for the next group of riders. We were greeted by the smiles of Roger and Jody, where they instructed us on the "mountains of paperwork" as humorously described on their website - really one page of acknowledgement and release material and what NOT to bring on the ride. We were told that sunglasses, keys and phones were not advised as they could easily be dislodged during the ride. My wife and I handed over our keys, sunglasses and phone (I kept my phone in the hopes of taking some pictures on the trail - bad idea). We were then given the option of wearing a helmet - which we both elected to do and I recommend. The hemets were very usefull when small branches or low hanging trees were encountered during the ride. Before embarking, we were given thorough riding and mounting instructions prior to be introduced to our horses. My wife had Sheba, a beautiful mare and I rode Bullit, a blue and brown eyed horse - both with great personalities. Roger and Jody filled us with knowledge and Jody led us out on a 2 hour trail ride. The scenery was excellent and the trails were an amazing twist and turn of hills and streams. Now; about my phone - never had a chance to whip it out to take pictures, instead it remained in my pocket and conveniently cycled through multiple screens - texting and and calling at random until the phone overheated and shut down. So, with that said - phones (or anything else for that matter) should stay off the trial. Bringing anything would be a mistake as the ride will easily cause anything to be worked out of your pockets, only to drop without warning somewhere on the trail. The ride was so therapeutic, it was easy to forget that we were on the outskirts of Canton. Our horses galloped and trotted through the shaded woods with ease except for Bullit. No, he did nothing wrong; instead, I lacked the discipline to stop him from snacking during the ride. Let's face it, horses are very smart and Bullit knew I was a sucker. Jody instructed me to stop him from eating as he was getting in the habit of grabbing a mouthful and galloping to catch up - very cute though. Our ride was worth every penny and completely made my wife's mind at ease. We strolled back to the stables where Roger greeted us and helped us dismount the horses so they could take a well earned break. My wife and I stuck around for a little to take pictures of the horses and enjoy some great conversation with Roger and Jody. I asked Roger about the trail guides and found out that each guide is a volunteer because of their love for horses. Knowing this, I tipped Jody for her professionalism and hard work accompanied with a genuine "Thank you". My wife and I fell in love with Great Frontiers, the scenery, horses and the staff - we will now now make this a part of our monthly routine - substituting an incredible horseback ride for a dinner out. I cannot recommend Great Frontiers enough or efficiently capture the experience in words, you have to go out and hit the trails yourself. read more

This was a great experience for not a lot of money. Easily the most fun I've had on a trail ride, too. This was the first time I've ridden a horse at a full gallop, and we saw some beautiful scenery along the way. The guide, and the horses were super-friendly, too! I don't think you could do better an hour outside of Atlanta for only $30 an hour. I wanted to take my girlfriend horseback riding as she'd never been, and... as most girls do... thinks horses are adorable. After finding very little that looked interesting on Yelp, I googled to find "Georgia Frontiers." They seemed close, friendly, and well priced at $30 each per hour. I called Robbie and booked an appointment with *zero* hassle for the next Saturday afternoon. The directions were easy to follow, and we arrived about 30 minutes early to fill out safety waivers and meet Robbie and the horses. The other couple scheduled to ride with us was running late, so we rode out with just the 3 of us right on time. Robbie was very charming and a lot of fun. He's been riding since he was a little boy, and had some great instruction to give. We started slow to make sure that everybody knew what they were doing, and was comfortable on the horse. Pretty quickly, though Robbie asked us if we wanted to speed it up a little! We did a light trot for a bit and then we let the horses haul a## at a full gallop which was a little scary but VERY fun. We slowed it back down for most of the ride, but we let the horses sprint a few more times before the end of our 1 hour ride. Along the way, Robbie was happy to educate us about horses and riding and tell us his story, but he was equally happy to stay quiet and let us enjoy the trail. At the end of the hour, (which was actually closer to an hour and a half) we made it back to the stable where the next batch of people were waiting. I paid him the $60 plus a big tip for a great time, and my girlfriend and I made the hour drive back to Midtown Atlanta. It was a great experience, and a hell of an ab workout! read more

Georgia Frontiers - Shadow - Horseback Riding Near Me - Canton, Georgia

Just went today and was very pleased from beginning to end. They are VERY customer service oriented but make no mistake, the horses health and your safety are the priority. It gets hot in Georgia and the horses work hard. The staff was very friendly and took the time to make sure that we knew what to do and expect. The trail itself is beautiful with streams, steep hills and flat grasslands for a good fast trot. I would easily recommend and will be returning! read more

10/10 recommend!!! It was beautiful! All the guides were super nice and funny which made it enjoyable riding with strangers! They were very informative and put safety first while making it a fun time. I can't wait to go back! read more

We had a great time here and I would highly recommend it! Our situation was unique. I rode as a child and i'm bored with trail rides. However, with my partner it was their first time on a horse ever. We explained the situation and sure enough, Georgia Frontiers got us on two horses where I could still have a horse that would go faster while the other would stay at a walk. While the overall trail we took was "mostly" a trail ride. I would have been miserable if it had been just that. Luckily, my partner was excited to go fast as a beginner and we were about to pick up some speed and break through a trot into a faster pace in a few small areas. This may not seem like much but for trying to find places that let you ride faster than the slowest rider in Atlanta it was a real treat. We loved it! I can only imagine they can accomodate any riders if they accommodated us. Go! read more

Roger and his volunteers were incredible! My boyfriend and I were in town for just the weekend and they were able to squeeze us in a day out for an individual ride with the best guide, Maureen, and such incredible horses. They were clearly well taken care of and the staff was so kind letting us as animal lovers stay for a bit after to visit and pet the rest of the stable. We had a great mix of walking, trotting, and cantering which kept us energized while always feeling safe and within control. Also, their land is gorgeous as you go up and down hills, through rivers, and open paths. This will become a must-do for us every time we come back to Atlanta! read more

We had Jo-Jo as our guide. She was so informative and really made sure we were comfortable throughout the 2-hr ride. Will definitely be back :) read more

What a wonderful place to see. This is a great place to spend a day with your family friends and God's most beautiful creatures. The owner Roger is a super cool guy and a real kind Cowboy. The horses are kind and gorgeous. The Trail Guide's seem to truly love every minute and it shows this is a wonderful environment to be a part of nature and enjoy Horses. Roger the owner even has rooster that is nice! I came here for the first time ten years ago and will never stop, my girls love it!! read more

Ding! We have found a little slice of heaven in the Georgia country. For my wife's birthday, I decided to get her something that I know she loves, which is a horseback riding trip. Mind you that I am a very inexperienced rider with my last excursion resulting in the shifting of my kidneys all the way up to my nostrils. This place took the pain away and added more smiles than I could count. The owner Roger is an absolute delight. It's obvious he's been raised on horses, loves them dearly, and wants to share that love with you. He's about you learning to ride the horse with confidence and respect and he shows it to you from the second you arrive. It's not some super-sized barn selling souvenirs at all. It's all about you and the horse. He'll show you how to properly ride the horse, pair you up with the proper horse, fit you in your stir-ups properly (which many places don't bother with once you mount), and then send you out with their friendly and accomplished trail guides. What more can one say. I opted for their monthly moonlight ride, and while we did ride a little earlier than the rising of the moon we had a fantastic time. Quiet trails, wonderful mountain views, and the right amount of cantor on level paths led to so much fun. My new friends at the ranch, along with my horse Vegas made this such a magical night for us. Afterwards in the cool night air, a large fire is set up and you eat wonderful barbeque from a local restaurant, make s'mores (mine with peanut butter cups, YUM!), and just talk by the fire with everyone there. Before we knew it, it ended up being 1:00 in the morning. I wasn't even thinking about being tired on the way back home (a one hour drive to Atlanta). This place is frequented by so many regulars, companies, and celebrities that want to ride with a group of professionals that know how to put a smile on your face. From the wonderfully kept horses, to the food, the roaming and friendly barn cat, and to the fantastic staff I absolutely recommend this place for an excursion. The prices are great at $35/hour, $65/2 hours, and $75 for the moonlight excursion. Search for Georgia Frontiers for their site. What a fantastic way to end my Spring Break and create more experiences with my wife. I will definitely be back again. read more

I brought my two daughters, 14 and 12, to Roger for a morning trail ride. It was actually kind of difficult to find a place that would do rides vs instruction. We also wanted trails. My youngest daughter had actually done the research and found Georgia frontiers. Upon arrival, I was a little nervous, because there were no other riders, & I was going to send them by themselves. But after talking with Roger, my anxiety was quickly set aside. He taught us more about actual writing skills than any other guide has, make that all of them combined. I have been on 6 or 7 guided trail rides in my life, and have never received the kind of instruction he provided my daughters. They really enjoy the ride and agreed that he is a great guy. He also told me how they did and everyone's stories matched up! You can tell that he loves his horses, as well as bringing young ones out to not just experience horseback riding, but to fall in love with it. I definitely recommend coming here if you are going to go anywhere. We will be back! Of note, I forgot about cash and he was able to add the tip to the credit card transaction. read more

This is as good as it gets! Such a beautiful trail with amazing horses. Roger and his "cowgirls" are the friendliest and most knowledgable group of horse-people I've ever met. You can tell from the start that they really enjoy what they do. My fiance and myself went on a 1 hour trail ride this past Saturday (6/13/15.) I have over 20 years of experience riding horses, however my fiance has none....in fact, this was his first time on a horse! Everyone was so patient with him as well as the other riders who lacked experience. Our tour guides, Stephanie & Maureen, were so informative and caring. They told us what to expect, on the trail ride, and when to expect it. (Ex: Going into mud, horse speeding up, etc.) Once everyone was comfortable, both guides allowed everyone to trot with their horses which was a blast! My horse, Two-Step, was one of the most gentle and easy riding horse I've ever riden. He was easy to "steer" and listened very well. My fiance's horse, Cloud, was the same way. The horses themselves are kept in a nice size, shaded stable with fans blowing on each of them. When the horses are taken out to ride, the staff ties lavendar dryer sheets in their bridle to act as a fly repelent! Such a great idea, for hot Summer days....and it works! Didn't get bit once on the trail...Plus it's just the cutest thing you'll ever see! I would highly recommend Ga. Frontiers for all of your horseback riding needs. You will not be dissapointed. read more

Georgia Frontiers - Georgia Frontiers' horses (6/13/15) - Horseback Riding Near Me - Canton, Georgia

This was a present for my 10 yr old twins' birthday. Roger was great with them, even recommending a shorter ride than I had planned since they were inexperienced. I will definitely be going back in the spring. Highly recommend. read more

My husband, me, our 2 grown sons and our friend, Katie (from New Hampshire) went riding on Saturday, June 6. It was a 60 mile drive to get there and then back. All I can say is that no matter whether you are near or far, this was the best experience ever and worth every one of the 60 miles. The owner, Roger, is the funniest and also most caring man ever. He is the perfect fit for this. We smiled and laughed from the minute we got there until well past when we got back home. The guides were Maureen and Stephanie and they were fantastic. The horses are gorgeous and well trained. I would go back there in a heartbeat and would not hesitate to highly recommend Georgia Frontiers to anyone and everyone that wants the best riding experience ever. Thank you to Roger and his staff for a really great day. read more

Let me just say, the best experience. My boyfriend and I took the 1hour ride and during it we were told fun facts about the horses and the trails! These were also some of the kindest people ever. They really made my boyfriends birthday special and memorable. It's about $50 a person for the hour which really isn't bad for what you are getting. The horses are beautiful and well taken care of. We will be back when it gets alittle warmer for the longer rides. read more

I would give this place 10 stars if I could!!! To the point of arrival till we left was excellent. Everyone is so friendly, the horses are so well behaved, and our tour guide Jessica was superb! I would highly recommend this place to anyone read more

This was my first time riding horses and I was so nervous. The ladies and older gentleman who ran the barn were so friendly and patient with me. After the day was done, I felt like a pro! I didn't know what to expect, but I had a blast! I will say, dress to get dirty (not a complaint). I liked how they taught us how to control the horses. It gave me confidence in riding and I felt safer. For anyone looking to ride and it's your first time, come to this facility! read more

We reserved a spot to go horseback riding for 2 adults and 2 kids (9&11). They were very thorough in their explanations of how to ride.

I would highly recommend this place. Everyone is very nice and it is a wonderful experience. read more

I wasn't sure if they'd be open with everything going on, but we called and they were thrilled to have us. When we arrived they were all set for us. Horses were in good condition and seemed well fed.

We throughly enjoyed ourselves an would highly recommend it!! read more

Georgia Frontiers - Horseback Riding Near Me - Canton, Georgia

I had an amazing time at this horse farm. Everyone was very nice and helpful for our entire experience as first timers. Ashley was our guide and she helped every bit of the way by explaining directions thoroughly, gave us insight about the entire farm, her past experience, etc. I've always loved horses growing up but never got to actually ride one until now. It was definitely harder than it looks on television. After about 10 minutes into the trail you will get use to navigating the horses and just enjoy the sights. Each horse there has a different personality, the staff or your guide will let you know how to handle them. I had Two-Step, he is a beautiful white horse and was calm the entire time. My boyfriend had CoCo, she had quite a sassy personality. I say this because the entire time she stopped every 5 minutes to eat, to stop this you have to pull on her reins or kick her to keep her moving. We gave Ashley a very nice tip after because she did an amazing job. I can't help but speak for the helpfulness of the staff after we came back. My boyfriend lost his wallet somewhere in the trails and we were going to give up and leave without it. I forgot what his name was but he may be one of the owners-I think Roger? He volunteered to go all the way back to the trails and look for his wallet and came back with it!! We were so amazed and wanted to tip him but he wouldn't accept it and told us to just come back. We definitely will! I love horses and the weather in October is perfect. read more

Best horseback riding experience by far! Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming. Made me feel very safe riding for the first time in years. You can't beat the prices! read more

Great time had by all. Roger is a great guy and it shows he loves what he does. I went with my wife and niece with my niece only being on a horse twice. Roger was very informative/instructional on what to do on the horse putting my niece's nerves at ease. The trail ride was very scenic and Roger knows a lot about the trails and explained everything about the Cherokee Indians etc. Enjoyable day and we will be back! If you want a fun time go visit Roger at Georgia Frontiers you won't be disappointed. P.S.- also liked that it was just us which made the ride even more enjoyable. read more

Had a great time and our trail guide Ashley was awesome. The horses have a great temperament. I'm definitely returning in the near future.

Great trail awsome people. Made us feel welcome. Crossed hills,rivers,and overall fun!

Very nice staff. Beautiful place to ride the trails. Very kid friendly. Been there 5 times over the last 2 yrs.

I have been on may trails but would not say that I'm an expert but this was definitely the best trail ride that I have experienced. I would say that the staff is what made the experience enjoyable and I would definitely visit again. read more

This place is great! The staff is knowledgeable and super friendly! I had my daughters 14th birthday here.

We were a party of four and went there and it was raining, it is fairly priced and all the staff were very helpful and friendly.

The trail was very smooth and the scenery was wonderful. read more

I took my twin nieces to Georgia Frontiers for their 11th birthday, and we had a fantastic time! Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Due to the detailed and amusing introduction and instructions from Roger, we felt safe and comfortable on our horses. We did a 1.5 hour ride, and our trail guide (sorry, I didn't catch her name) was great! She was really good at instructing us on how to handle our horses (Cocoa, Two-Step and Buck) and on what to expect from the horses through the various terrain, and was also patient and accommodating when the girls wanted to take a break to stretch their little legs. Overall a fantastic experience, and the girls have asked me to take them for their birthday again next year. Brownie points for Aunt Heather! Thank you! read more
