Since 1962, GGAA has devoted its energy to empowering young women through a shared love of horses. Girls gain confidence learning about and riding horses, as well as building life-long friendships in a fun and family-friendly environment. Our girls range in age from 11 to 18. No horse ownership required! Girls can ride a troop horse or board a personal horse. Our families come from all across the region, including Hillsboro, DeSoto, South County, South City, Webster Groves, Kirkwood, Fenton and St. Charles County. The best part about membership is the full access to our facilities and horses any time you want! SATURDAYS are reserved strictly for girls! Sunday through Friday is open to the girls, their family & friends. Membership gives you access to the troop horses and house for meals, overnights, or just a day out at the barn to ride and enjoy. GGAA is a volunteer-led not-for-profit. One way parents participate is through sharing Saturday chaperone duty. Duty parents offer carpooling and are on site during girls' hours. Parents also assist with horse shows, parades, and our parents' board. Our horses are pasture boarded year-round. Horses are brought into the barn daily for wellness checks and feeding by our on-site caretaker.
