News from The Stables


Sitting in a saddle, peeing pooping. Up hill down hill 


There are many rules to observe while on the trail. Sit up tall in the saddle, shoulders back and relaxed lumbar. Keep your feet in the stirrups, have a slight bend in your knee. Both hands should always hold the reins. Use your legs to direct the horse. Squeeze the side of the belly of the horse with both legs and the horse will move forward. If you put pressure on one side of the horse, the horse will move away from the pressure.  Use the reins to reinforce your leg commands. To help the horse while walking, when the horse stops to pee, stand up on the stirrups, this relieves pressure on the horse. When the horse stops to pee or poop announce this to the other riders so all can stop with you on the trail. Another tip to help the horse on the trail is to remember how to sit in the saddle when you go up or down hills. Uphill lean forward toward relieving weight on the horse. Some horses like to quicken the gait going uphill, so they get up there faster. When traveling downhill, give the horse a bit more reins, and sit back a bit, relax your hips. As soon as you are back on level or nearly level ground, resituate yourself so you are firmly in the center of your saddle and in command of the horse. The Trail rides are busiest Friday through Sunday, so for the best selection of dates and times call early or choose Monday through Thursday. Either way, call today to schedule your next ride: (706) 692-6322. See you on the trails!

News from the Animal Shelter


FOSTERS NEEDED —


Sweet Potato needs a foster or foster to adopt . She needs to be in a house with no other animals .  Sweet Potato is very sweet with people (we don’t know with children). If you or you know someone experienced with dogs that can be reactive to other dogs and can foster please give us a call. She would do much better in a home than our shelter.


Sweet Callie (kitty) needs a quiet home where she can hang out and get some love every day along with her daily thyroid med. She takes a pill easily twice a day. A little laughing cow cheese is all it takes to put her pill in and she eats it right down. Callie is about 10. Her momma passed away and there was no one to take care of her. She is such a sweet older kitty and would make someone a wonderful buddy. She can be a foster or foster to adopt or adopt.


If you are interested in Sweet Potato, Callie or would like to meet any of our other kitties please call or text 678-414-1047.


There are several families whose cats have gotten out and are lost. If you are seeing a new cat hanging around your house please post on next door and let us know. We can put out a have a heart trap and catch the kitty.
