Horse care: turnout, grooming, exercise in Peachtree City

Horses in Peachtree City are limited to lots of at least 80,000 square feet in the R-43, ER and AR zones, and a riding stable needs at least ten acres. Owners wanting help with turnout, grooming and exercise are on those larger properties or out in rural Fayette, such as the farmland around Woolsey with its horses, cattle and honeybee hives.

If you offer horse care, expect many of the calls to come from farms out in the county, and keep every bit of exercise on the owner's land, since the city's paths and parks have their own rules for horses.

On an in-town Peachtree City horse property, the code calls for at least 5,000 square feet of fenced area for each animal, which is the turnout space a helper works with.
