And we’re off….To the races that is!  The Hawkinsville Harness Races will be held on Mar 30th.  This is the only day of the year where you can watch live horse racing in Georgia!  Gates open at 9:30 and races start at 11:00.  There will be food on site as well as local vendors and activities for kids.  Cost is $5 per person and children under 12 get in free.  Can’t wait to see all the beautiful racehorses AND watch every race from start to finish!  We should probably be at the track around 10:00 and all sit together for the exciting races!  We will have an early supper around 4:00 at the Hawkinsville Steak House after watching the races most of the day.  Think this will be a very enjoyable event for all ages!  It could be our own “Forsyth Chapter Derby” with the big, beautiful hats and of course mint juleps or mimosas!  Who’s in?

Ram Branch Farms Equestrian Center is a competitive horseback riding barn that offers both English and Western style training, lessons and showing opportunities. Each year we hold a few fundraising event to keep our cost to our students low for those opportunities. As we all know anything to do with horses is expensive, but our fundraisers have allowed us to keep are cost much lower then others in our area while maintaining our high standards of quality.
This year’s we did our first ever fundraiser trail ride on New Year’s that was open to the public. We hosted it at our farm and offered prizes and raffled off items. It was a great success and everyone has asked us to do another one and we have decided to host another trail ride fundraiser for March 30th 2024 with a rain date of April 13th 2024!
Please join us March 30th 2024. Farm opens at 930 trail ride starts at 11. we have had some great feed back from our first public trail ride and will be offering color coded trails at different lengths so you can pick what works best for you! First ride out at 11am, come back to socialize with raffle drawing at 2pm additional rides after raffle and farm closes at 7pm. We will also have ribbons for your horses red=may kick, green=young maybe unpredictable and Gold = rider is single! We will have ribbons out with signs explaining. This got away from me at the new year’s day trail ride and I even forgot to put a gold ribbon for my own horse 🤦‍♀️ . Alot was learned and we think our second public ride will be even better! If you came to the first ride and haven’t already please fill out our survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/GR3G9WV . if you got any swag or won prizes from our first ride make sure to take pictures with it and tag and post!
