High-Tailin’ Horseback Great Escape

This great escape ranges in enjoyment for those who like equestrain rides or those who catch thrills just by watching!

If you hop in your car and drive about 25 miles north of Lawrenceville towards the more rich, dense, forested mountain ranges that line the Georgia state border, you’ll probably interact with more nature than you could ever imagine.
