History
of Southwest Georgia
Therapeutic Riding Center

 

Our facility opened in 1999 after the Goodlife Therapeutic Equestrian Center closed, leaving the special needs children and adults in Southwest Georgia without a riding program.

SGTRC is the dream of Stan and Tara Okon. It is situated on 25 acres at Hunny Pot Stables in Leesburg, Georgia. The facility offers an open arena, a covered arena, multiple hay and wagon storage facilities and a 32-stall barn. It is conveniently located 5.2 miles past The Parks at Chehaw on Philema Road

Our goal is to bring horses, riders and the community together to share an extraordinary experience. In this safe, compassionate and challenging environment, we strive to improve the lives of individuals who are experiencing challenges in many different ways - developmentally, physically, emotionally or as the result of a traumatic injury.

The results are evidenced in the smiles of the riders and the excitement they show when experiencing freedom from an assisting device.
