A quieter standard of excellence.
English Ivy Farms is a full service hunter/jumper program where horses are developed with intention, and riders are guided with care.
For riders seeking elite competitve standards in North Forsyth County - without the pace and pressure of the traditional show barn.
At English Ivy Farms, we offer an Intentional and Horse Centric approach to training
Set on 18.5 acres in the quiet countryside of North Forsyth County, our program is designed for riders who value quality over volume, and horsemanship over shortcuts.
At English Ivy Farms, horses are not managed - they are thoughtfully developed.
Riders are not rushed - they are carefully guided.
English Ivy Farms is the premier show barn of the North GA area for proper rider and horse education, with extensive knowledge in Hunter/Jumper/Equitation judging, horse biomechanics, and riding theory
