Atlanta Riding Academy offers top quality hunt seat horseback riding lessons. 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. The hourly rental of horses is not offered. Anyone taking horses on trails must be enrolled in the academy. Lessons are at Little Creek Horse Farm in Decatur. 

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 10 and up who have some prior riding experience and are dedicated to excellence in hunt seat equitation. Riders work through exercises based on interest and experience.  Atlanta Riding Academy also participates in other horse related activities such as:

• 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. 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.
