The FacilityHickory Ridge is a unique equine care facility located in South Effingham County, GA. We are surrounded by hundreds of acres of undeveloped land and dirt roads, providing ample room for trail riding or cross country training. Our acreage is mostly open pasture with a pond for hot summer days and lots of trees for shade and just plain loafing. After consulting with veterinarians, our twenty-three stall barn was designed considering the hot humid climate of south Georgia. Horses are most comfortable at temperatures far below what we humans like, therefore, the hot temperatures, not the cool ones were our concern. Our barn is very open to allow optimum ventilation and cooling, and to prevent the horses from feeling closed in and/or isolated. |
