If you have ever been on a North Georgia Horseback Riding adventure then you know how much fun it can be to explore the great outdoors from the back of a horse. You are free from the hustles and bustles of the fast paced city life. It is especially enjoyable when the leaves are changing, the views are so beautiful and you can cover a lot of ground. Horseback allows you to go to places that normally you would not go. If you are trying to hike the mountain trails then you are limited by how far you can walk in a certain time frame especially with the changes of terrain. A horse can carry you a lot farther than you could ever go on foot, through the creeks and mountains, and you are not exhausted at the end of the trip. You may get a little saddle sore but that only last for a short time.
Most people travel to North Georgia because there are so many outdoors adventures that you can't just do anywhere. Hunting, fishing, kayaking and horseback riding is way of life for many of the locals. Horse stables usually only offer 30 minute to 2 hour guided tours while North Georgia Outfitters offers rides varying from two hours to overnight adventures. You do not have to be an experienced rider when going on a guided tour. The tour guide will make sure that everything is kept within your comfort level if at all possible. There is nothing more exciting than horseback riding along the mountain sides and through the creeks and getting to see beautiful waterfalls along the way. To get a true feel for the backwoods of North Georgia will be an experience and a memory that will last a lifetime.
This is why North Georgia Outfitters is known for their adventures and not just a standard tour. Their guides are intimately familiar with the trails that wind through the public and private land of Lumpkin and Dawson counties. You will be able to stop at streams and hidden waterfalls that are impossible to access using the roads that cut through the mountains. Some of the best views are in locations that you cannot reach by car and few people get to see them unless they are riding a horse or are experienced back packers. Another great thing about riding a horse is that they do not scare the wildlife as badly as other modes of transport. It gives you the opportunity to watch the animals in their day to day lives.
North Georgia Horseback riding is a low impact way to enjoy the outdoors and almost anyone can go on these rides. The horses are chosen for their smooth gait and picked to match the riders comfort level and experience with horses. You do not have to be a cowboy to relax and enjoy the horseback adventures in North Georgia.
