So, boom, I went to visit my mama in GA back in August. She's outside of ATL and there isn't much…read moreto do in her neck of the woods. Before leaving NY, I searched for activities. Came across a couple of horseback riding places. That's been on my bucket list but leaped up a few spots after seeing the movie, Nope, lol. The other horse back riding spot was closer to my mama's home and cheaper but South Side Riders is Black-owned and operated so, no contest! I scheduled a ride for me and mama. The day we were scheduled to ride, it rained. We'd gotten a call from SSR to let us know that our ride would be rescheduled because of the inclement weather. Do you know what the lady said? She said, it's raining, it makes the trail slippery, "and the horses don't like it." That's bringing me to tears now as it did then! That told me so much about these beautiful people running this place. They put the horses first!!!!! They put the horses concerns first!!! I fell in LOVE with South Side Riders when she said that! A couple of days later, we'd arrived at SSR for our trail ride. We were greeted by the beautiful couple who runs the place. The vibe was cool, friendly and they put my mom and I, who have no experience riding horses, very much at ease. I saw the horses and got giddy. They're all so beautiful, calm and sweet and you can tell they're well taken care of. The two horses that my mother and I rode seemed to have a bond. It was precious watching them interact. This was my first time on a horse. They provided a step ladder to help me get up. I appreciated that. Before hitting the actual trail, they let us go around in the enclosed area where we mounted the horses. They gave us driving instructions... That's what it felt like, a driving lesson, lol. How to steer right, left, stop, go.... All very necessary and appreciated. They made sure moms and I were comfortable before we got started. The trail ride itself was so lovely. I was nervous but that didn't last long. Before I knew it, I was relaxed and wishing I was rich so I could stay and ride all day. I talk to animals like they're human, so at one point, I'm thanking the horse for taking it easy with me as it's my first time riding. And he neighs. Like, he understood every word I'd said, and he responded. A similar interaction was probably the inspiration for the TV show, Mr. Ed. So now we're having a full-on conversation and...just thinking about it is making my heart smile. Again. When the ride was over, I skipped my giddy, animal loving self over to the petting zoo while moms waited in the car. I didn't wanna leave! The babies are so cute and sweet. The donkeys...what's their I.Q.? I'm asking because they seem quite intelligent. Whenever I visit moms, I will definitely stop by South Side for a trail ride!

enjoyed feeding goats and horses but the ride was only like 15 min. not worth the cost.read more

I loved it. A good family outing. Really enjoyable for adults and especially for kids…read more Definitely follow the directions to how to get to the farm. Otherwise you'll end up in a subdivision following the GPS. All the workers on the farm are super nice and made the experience so much better. Dawn greeted us and did our tour. I did the farm tour with the ride experience. Like others have mentioned the farm tour was very interactive and informative. We were able to feed ans visit with horses, Goats (interesting story about how so many came to be there), the Alpacas and Llamas, Chickens, Ducks and Rabbits. Free range chicken amd roosters. All the animals are well mannered and I didn't feel threatened by them at all. We were told that the farm had 2 airbnbs - 1 was a dome and the other a cottage, pool access. Archery. They offer summer camps and equestrian classes too. After the farm tour we did the 15 min trail ride on the horses. Helmets provided. The workers guide the horses so no experience is needed and they have a pony for toddlers. They have a platform to help with mounting and discounting the horse. Plus the staff help too. My kids had a blast! So did I! I would definitely recommend it for a family day getaway.

I witnessed the wife yelling at the Mother of the Bride and had her in tears just a few hours away from the start of the wedding over a small issue that could have been handled after the wedding. I could never recommend this venue to anyone unless there was a professional wedding coordinator on staff that understood the importance of someone's wedding day.

Last month, my daughter and I visited Little Creek hoping to see the horses. I didn't realize at…read morethe time that we had gone outside their official visiting hours. We went to the office and were met by the RUDEST person I have encountered in a long time and it turned out that she, Tamara, is the barn manager. Unbelievable to be treated in such a harsh and unfriendly manner, in front of my 7 year old daughter, at a COUNTY PARK. I am a DeKalb Co resident so my tax money is paying for this kind of behavior. I worry what the horses themselves must experience as well as her staff and anyone else who has to deal with her. A personality like that should not be in the position of dealing with the public. Unbelievable!

They are usually closed to the public except for these events. They had a ton of volunteers wearing matching vests which was really helpful. You parked on a residential street and got to walk through the conservancy and look at horses in the field. Then came the fun part. Kids 4 and up could ride on a pony for $5. They did 2 huge round a outs in the corral. You sign a waiver, learn about the conservancy via a waiver, and wait in line to ride the horse. In the meantime they teamed up with DH high (I think) what was selling chicken biscuits and snacks as well as doing face painting. They had 7 horses in the corral that kids were riding in. We are not talking tiny little things either. They were huge! Afterwards, you got to walk by the area at that the horses stay in and could read about them and see any awards the won. They also had free arts and crafts projects setup like making horse puppets. They offer riding lessons, but I didn't tell my kids because I am nervous that they will want a horse.
