Survey Aims To Understand, Improve Milton's Equestrian Community

MILTON, GA — Milton has a long, proud rural and equestrian heritage, and the city needs the public's help to better understand, and serve, those who are part of it.

The Milton Equestrian Committee, with assistance from city staff, put together a survey to collect important, pertinent information about farms, horses, other animals and more within city limits.

Right now, the City of Milton does not have an extensive, inclusive list of agricultural or horse farms, or at least those who don't have business licenses. Nor does the city know all the places one can ride horses or receive other equestrian services, or how many Milton residents ride and/or take lessons. This survey will help fill those gaps. The city's goal is to get a good sense of whomever runs commercial agricultural and horse farms in Milton, as well as those who own horses and enjoy equestrian activities more generally.

1. The acreage of Milton's farms
2. The number and types of animals on them
3. How many people practice equestrian disciplines, and where
4. The types of equestrian disciplines people practice
5. Places offering equestrian lessons
6. Info for inclusion in a Milton Equestrian/Farm Owner directory

This voluntary survey can be completed by anyone from Milton. With this data, the city can catalog Milton's farms, equestrian services and equestrian uses. This will make the city better equipped to serve and foster this aspect of Milton's culture and identity.
