There are about 7 ranches in Blue Ridge, Georgia that offer Appalachian Trail rides. Some stables offer a sensational half-day or full-day trail trip into the Cohutta Wildlife Management Area if you have previous riding experience. You’re expected to mount, dismount and control your horses on your own; if you can’t do that confidently, you might opt for a personal lesson instead. Others offer a private farm tour and Western-style carriage ride customized just for you.
