Southern Cross Guest Ranch

Southern Cross Guest Ranch, Georgia’s premier trail riding, horse farm and vacation destination, offers something for everyone. 

 

Conveniently nestled in Central Georgia’s Historic Heartland and within an hour drive from Atlanta. The Ranch is a working horse farm and home to well over 150 quality Paint and Quarter horses and is best known for its exceptional hands-on horseback riding program, personalized riding experience, and peaceful, comfortable setting.

 

Select from two daily departure times to saddle up for one or two hours of guided riding at a walk, trot or lope. This hands-on experience includes brushing and tacking/untacking your horse before and after the ride.

 

All riders can enjoy:

  • Over six miles of wooded trails and pastures,
  • a variety of happy, well-trained horses, hand-picked to match your riding ability,
  • friendly, capable guides,
  • Smaller, ability-based groups.

 

The Ranch also offers unguided opportunities for competent riders, private guides and photography services (optional add-on).

 

Don’t want to leave just yet? Stick around for lunch or dinner buffet at the guest house, served at 1 PM and 6 PM respectively!
