Atlanta Riding Academy offers a top quality Hunter/Jumper lesson and training program. The Academy is for those seeking excellence in the art, sport and discipline of Hunter/Jumper riding.  Quality, safety and skill building are emphasized in all aspects of the riding program. The Academy has show-quality horses and lessons are on a scenic farm  minutes from Downtown, Decatur, VHi, East Lake, East Atlanta, Grant Park, Emory, Druid Hills. While the facility has trails, the hourly rental of horses is not offered. Anyone taking horses on trails must be enrolled in lessons. 

Lesson availability is limited as the work-load of each horse is monitored carefully. Evenings and weekends tend to be in high demand.  If you are interested in lessons please send an email including availability, experience and contact infomation. Most clients can get on the schedule in 2-4 weeks.

The lesson program specializes in the returning adult. Children and beginners may be accepted on a limited basis. In general, school horses at the academy are best suited for riders ages 10 and up who have at least one year of riding experience. No rider is accepted who is not dedicated to excellence in hunt seat equitation.

Jump Club 
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. 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.
