Horse Boarding in Gwinnett County, Georgia
Gwinnett is the hardest county in North Georgia to keep a horse in, and also one of the most popular. Nearly a million people live here, subdivisions have replaced a lot of the pasture that existed in the 1990s, and the barns that remain are concentrated on the eastern and northern edges of the county — out past Dacula, Auburn, and toward the Barrow and Hall lines.
That is why so many Gwinnett horse owners board rather than keep horses at home. Zoning, acreage minimums, and the cost of land here make a private barn out of reach for most people, while a boarding spot fifteen or twenty minutes from a subdivision in Lawrenceville or Suwanee is entirely realistic.
The barn and property your horse would live on
Our farm at 5750 Holiday Rd in Buford — the barn, the board-fenced pastures, and the turnout, shot from the air so you can see the whole layout before you visit.
Where horse people ride in Gwinnett
Gwinnett still has genuine equestrian trail access, which surprises people who only know the county from Sugarloaf Parkway. Little Mulberry Park near Dacula and Auburn has a dedicated equestrian trail system and horse trailer parking, and Tribble Mill Park between Lawrenceville and Grayson also offers equestrian trails. Check current park hours, trailer parking rules, and any permit requirements with Gwinnett County Parks and Recreation before you haul — those details change.
Beyond the county line, riders here regularly haul north toward the Hall County and Lake Lanier areas, or west to well-known regional venues, for clinics and shows.
Getting to the barn after work
Realistically, the drive is what decides whether you ride three times a week or three times a month. Gwinnett traffic funnels through GA-316, I-85, Highway 20, and Sugarloaf Parkway, and all four back up between five and seven.
If you are coming from Lawrenceville, Dacula, Buford, or Suwanee, tell us where you start and when you would come out. We will tell you honestly whether the drive works for you — a barn you dread driving to is the wrong barn no matter how nice it is.
Boarding options for Gwinnett owners
Most Gwinnett boarders are working owners with limited weekday time, which pushes them toward full-care boarding or stall board. Owners who are out at the barn most days and want to lower monthly cost often prefer partial care.
For sound horses that do better outside, pasture board is usually both healthier and more affordable. Senior horses stepping out of work go on retirement board with quiet turnout and a feed program built for their teeth.
Vets, farriers, and feed in the county
Gwinnett is well served for equine care compared to most of the state — there are practicing equine vets covering the county and a good supply of farriers, and the referral clinics owners use for surgery are within haul distance. Feed and shavings are available from farm supply stores along the eastern side of the county and into Barrow and Hall.
If you do not own a trailer, our local hauling covers vet appointments, farrier work, clinics, and moving day.

Questions from Gwinnett County horse owners
Can I keep a horse on my own property in Gwinnett County?
It depends on your zoning, lot size, and any HOA covenants — much of the county is zoned residential with acreage minimums that rule it out. Check with Gwinnett County Planning and Development for your specific parcel before you count on it.
Are there public horse trails in Gwinnett?
Yes. Little Mulberry Park and Tribble Mill Park both have equestrian trails. Confirm current rules and trailer parking with Gwinnett County Parks and Recreation before hauling out.
How far in advance should I look for board?
Earlier than you think. Good spots in this county move by word of mouth, often before they are ever advertised.
