Magnolia on Pasos
- on smooth gaited horses through the Midlands of Georgia

Nestled in Central Georgia's Magnolia Midlands this new riding center is a traditional Peruvian Horse Ranch. The owners strive to preserve the tradition and heritage of the smoothest riding horse in the world - THE PERUVIAN PASO HORSE -
With over 140 acres of private riding trails and access to several National parks, the ranch offers a convenient location for training, or trail riding getaways.
Angel and Andrea Rodriguez welcome you to their new operation and will be your hosts throughout your stay. Your stay can include daily instructions on Peruvian Pasos combined with extended trail rides into the surrounding countryside.
Riding the smooth gaited Pasos will be an experience you never forget.
On Tuesday or Thursday we will take everyone and explore by vehicle - maybe a visit to the beach in Savannah or the historic town of Augusta.

We have access to several wonderful trails on the ranch property, ride across adjoining farmlands and forest or for more extended rides we will trailer the horses to nearby National parks. Around 12:30 PM we are met for lunch by our supply vehicle. A nice lunch is set up with table and chairs.  In the afternoon we return to the ranch to arrive by 4:30 PM.
