The lesson program specializes in the returning adult. Children and beginners are also accepted. In general, school horses and lesson content at the academy are best suited for riders ages 8 and up who have some prior riding experience. Emphasis is placed on riders dedicated to excellence in hunt seat equitation. Riders work towards individual goals based on interest and experience. Instruction is based on having fun and being safe while improving your horsemanship skills! As part of the Atlanta Riding Academy family you will enjoy other horse related activities such as:

Jump Club is for adult riders looking to improve skills and learn more about the sport of Hunter/Jumper riding. We meet monthly for brunch and plan Jump Club events. Jump Club attends clinics and shows both as spectators and competitors. The Jump Club Show Team competes fall and spring. We show locally at the Georgia International Horse Park and at Wills Park at HJ Fox and GHJA shows. You are not required to show to be a member of Jump Club. There are many ways to participate. The only requirement is that you seek to improve and grow as a student of hunt seat equitation. If you think that the only thing better than riding horses is talking about horses, then Jump Club is for you.
