Welcome to Grove River Ranch

 

Grove River Ranch LLC is located in northeast Georgia, a little over an hour from Atlanta, in the foothills of the mountains, easily accessible from three four-lane highways or interstates.  For specific driving directions, visit the Map and Directions page.  In addition to providing for the care and management of horses, short and long term, we offer educational opportunities to equestrian enthusiasts of all ages and levels of ability to enable them to be better prepared for equine ownership and involvement.  Bookmark our Calendar of Events to keep up with clinics and summer camp schedules.

"CJ I wanted to write and let you know what a wonderful time we had this past weekend. My horse is much more confident, he really matured from the whole experience. Hubby enjoyed the fishing and just being able to relax at the cabin. You have done a fabulous job of creating a place of natural beauty, healing and education all rolled into one. Thanks again for your hospitality and attention to detail. We are looking forward to coming again soon. Maria G."

Our recreational amenities and accommodations include a river-front rental cabin for private getaways, several miles of hiking and horse trails, a picnic shelter on the river, and a well-stocked fishing pond. Equestrians are welcome to bring their own horses to stay as ranch guests.  The trails are not open to the general public at this time, open only to boarders, event attendees, and guests staying at the ranch.  Non-equestrian guests are welcome, too!  All guests are invited to hike or ride our trails through hardwood stands and along the creeks, enjoy the serenity and privacy of pristine wildlife habitat, sign up for riding or horse training lessons, enjoy the sounds of the river from the privacy of the cabin hot tub, sit around a camp fire with friends and family, and take in a variety of Area Attractions.  To view more photos of the ranch facilities, events and guests, visit the Gallery of Photos page and our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/GroveRiverRanch

The stables features ten stalls including foaling stall, adjoining run pens, indoor round pen with viewing deck, full bath, climate controlled tack rooms, hot water wash racks, and the Bunk House for guests and summer camps.

The 12'x12' stalls are well ventilated with lots of natural light and are serviced by an overhead automated water-based fly spray system. Each stall has a back door to access a 24'x60' sheltered run pen with sand footing.

Horse safe high density plastic fencing surrounds the turnout pastures where horses spend several hours a day. Full board only, no pasture board, is available at this time. All seven of our pastures are used to provide individual turnout, which eliminates injuries caused by alpha horses establishing leadership, and helps prevent "buddy sour" issues.

The lighted outdoor arena, located behind the stables, is approximately 125'x235' with river sand footing. The 160'x100' indoor arena is lighted and irrigated with viewing lounge, classroom/meeting room, bathroom, and kitchenette.

These facilities are perfect for clinics, workshops, club events, and summer camps. Overnight stabling for travelers is available with a reservation.
