Blue Springs Farm

Blue Springs Farm is accepting new riders into our lesson program as well as our IEA teams! 🐴 We’ve been home to the Forsyth Central Equestrian Team since 2005 with numerous national, zone and region wins in both hunt seat and western. As of this season, we are also home to the Lambert hunt seat team.

Our farm is located on the Cherokee/Forsyth county line in Ball Ground, GA. 🙂

Feel free to call or text Marcy at 770-480-1654 to secure your spot today - come ride with us!

Tank wanted to join the campers as they enjoyed their lunch today!

Happy 4th of July from our barn family to yours 🇺🇸

Grooming fun! 🧽 Each camper learns the basics of horse grooming so that our equine besties have dust-free coats, untangled manes and tails, and have clean feet before and after they go for a ride! 💜

We only have 3 weeks of summer camp left, so make sure you get in touch with Marcy to claim a spot for your little one. ☀️🐴 There’s nothing like a summer spend in the saddle! 📲 (770)480-1654

06/17/2024

Another week of camp has begun! 💜 In addition to learning basic horse care, campers get hands-on experience learning how to ride and guide their horses through courses, trail rides and even games! 🐴

Each camp week runs Monday - Friday from 9am until 3pm daily! Pack a lunch and some sunscreen, but we provide everything else. 🙌🏻

New show year, (some) new faces, and mostly new horses. All change brings challenges, but I think it’s safe to say that these girls and boys are learning to persevere through whatever challenges life may bring their way.

Here’s to a fun show year and the lessons learned along the way 🐴 🏆

Congratulations everyone!!

We had a great night celebrating our riders’ accomplishments from this past year at the Rolling Hills Saddle Club banquet! We are beyond proud of their hard work and how they helped lift each other up along the way. Looking forward to another wonderful year! 🏆🐴💜

💜Update 12/11💜

We hope you’re all enjoying this chilly, but beautiful day. ☀️ We wanted to provide everyone with an update on how everything is going. In a previous post, we mentioned that we’re looking for another facility and we are still currently looking for the future home of Blue Springs Farm. In the meantime, we are currently at the same facility in Ball Ground and are able to offer lessons, camps and are still coaching the girls on the Forsyth Central Equestrian Team (middle and high school). It is simply our desire to find another facility where we can reside on the property. We know this will take time, but we are hopeful!!

Everyone’s generous donations, both monetary and otherwise, have allowed us to help Marcy keep her program up and running. As with anything, the grief comes in stages and it’s our community that has helped us stay . 💜

Help us wish our favorite horse trainer and coach a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! 🎊🎉 Marcy Blue

Thanksgiving is a time to appreciate the amazing connection we have with our four-legged friends. 🍁 From peaceful trails to thrilling jumps, every moment spent with horses is a true blessing. 🐎💜 We at Blue Springs Farm are grateful for the joy and companionship they bring into our lives and all of our riders who love it as much as we do. 🐴 Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

🍁🐴🌟

Perfect day for horse camp 🐴

11/18/2023

As we head into Thanksgiving week, we wanted to stop by and say just how thankful we are for our horse community, especially through these past few months. We are thankful for y’all and for these sweet horses we get to love on ✨

Happy (early) Thanksgiving!

11/15/2023

This is your sign to join us for Fall Camp next week! 🐴Start the week on some trail rides and end it with some Turkey on Thanksgiving. 🦃 What's not to love about that??

We had a fun and successful fundraiser at Wills Park today! Thank you Rolling Hills Saddle Club for letting us host it during the shows last night and today. Thanks to everyone’s generosity, we were able to raise over $2,000!

We also wanted to introduce two of our new horses that made their debuts at the show today! Both of these guys were both donated to us and have made a lot of hearts very happy, these two girls in particular! 💜💜 Meet “Little Red” and “Ferdinand”!

Update 9/21

Good Morning ☀️

We understand it’s been awhile since we’ve updated everyone and we wanted to share a few updates.

First, we just want to say THANK YOU!! While these past weeks have been SO hard, the support of the community is simply amazing.

I know a lot of people have asked if we know the cause yet and we still do not have those specific details, but will openly share if and when we have a definitive answer.

Last Friday, we had a memorial for the Blue Springs Farm horses that were lost in the fire. It was beautiful and helped bring closure for a lot of us.

During all of this, the community has not only donated money to help rebuild, but we’ve received tack donations and even horses to add to our riding program!! We’re making every effort to get all of these girls and boys back in the saddle!

With that, as most of you know, Blue Springs Farm leased the barn from another owner. We have decided that’s it’s in our best interest to pursue another location for Blue Springs Farm to call home. At this time, we’re looking for barns/farms to lease and/or buy. If you or anyone you know has information on a location, please let us know.

Finally, we are hosting a fundraiser for the barn at Wills Park in Alpharetta tomorrow from 7:00 PM-9:00 PM and Saturday, from 9:00 AM-2:00 PM.

Thank you all for what you’ve done, there are no words to express our gratitude!!
