Gatewood Farms is located on one of South Georgia's hidden gems, Lake Blackshear. Our equestrian program combines qualified staff, experienced horses, and a top facility to create a fun and safe atmosphere where campers can advance their riding skills, in dressage, hunters, jumpers, and eventing, or just enjoy riding with friends. Our goal is to expand their horsemanship knowledge on and off the horse.
At our camp you can bring your own horse or we will provide horses for the campers ranging from experienced A circuit show horses, to seasoned beginner ponies. All of our horses are active in equestrian programs throughout the year. Students at the riding camp are evaluated on arrival and placed into classes with riders of the same ability.
