Since opening its gates in September 1995, the Georgia International Horse Park has already served as a venue for the largest sporting event in the world - the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games. As host to the equestrian events, the first ever mountain bike competition and the final two events of the modern pentathlon, the Horse Park is truly a world-class venue. Now that the Games are long gone, the legacy of the Olympic Games in Conyers, Georgia, is a new industry - tourism.
The GIHP, open year-round, hosts events nearly every day of the year. From equestrian and mountain-biking events, the GIHP has grown to include concerts, fairs, festivals, road races, rodeos, hot air balloon races, corporate outings and much more. With the Arnold Palmer designed Cherokee Run Golf Course and the Hawthorn Suites & Golf Resort, the GIHP continues to live up to its motto of "Groomed for Greatness". In addition, the Park includes a 160-acre nature preserve.
