Belmont Farm
1005 Belmont Rd, Athens, GA 30605
Belmont Farm is a 26-acre horse boarding facility located in East Athens, 6 miles from the University of Georgia Veterinary Teaching Hospital.
Watkinsville is the seat of Oconee County in the Piedmont of northeast Georgia, a small city that serves as a bedroom community for Athens and the University of Georgia. The surrounding Oconee County landscape has the rolling, red clay Piedmont character typical of northeast Georgia — pasture interspersed with hardwood forest, and the agricultural tradition of a county that has maintained rural character despite pressure from the Athens-Clarke County metro.
Covered and outdoor arenas with training and lessons in dressage and hunter/jumper serve the Watkinsville equestrian community with a strong English discipline focus — appropriate for a university town community where English riding has cultural roots. A perfect reviewer rating reflects the instruction quality. The proximity to Athens provides access to a sophisticated equestrian community connected to the University of Georgia's equine programs, and the Oconee County countryside provides attractive Piedmont riding terrain.
