The MItchell County Saddle Club Arena is located at 720 Barron Avenue, Pelham, Georgia 31779 (this is on HWY 93 from Pelham to Cairo)

From Camilla: travel South on Hwy 19, pass the Flash Food station on the right as you enter Pelham city limits.  Turn right at the 1st caution light - this is Curry Street and also Hwy 93.  Stay on Hwy 93 into downtown Pelham.  At the first red light, stay right, go in front of the City Hall (you will see Hand Trading Company on your left) Turn left at the red light immediatly past Jamerson-Braswell Funeral Home.  Go through the next red light, following Hwy 93 toward Cairo.  You will pass Pelham Elementary School.  The arena is approximaelty 1 mile out on the left, directly behind the Pelham High School (currently under construction).

From Thomasville - travel North on Hwy 19, turn left at the first caution light - directly beside Adens Minit Market.  This will put you on Baggs Avenue.  Not ver far on Baggs Avenue - veer to the left at the 2nd intersection (actually appears more like a fork than a turn).  Continue straight (passing Piggly Wiggly) till the 3rd stop sign - which should put you at a dead end into Hwy 93.  Turn left following Hwy 93 toward Cairo.  You will pass the Pelham Elementary School.  The arena is approximately 1 mile out on the left directly behind the Pelham High School (currently under construction)

From Cairo / Tallahassee -  travel Hwy 93 to Pelham.  The arena is located on the right directly behind the Pelham High School (currently under construction) and immediately before reaching the city limits.

There is a sign for the Arena - however with the current construction it is hard to see.
Note:  The Mitchell County Saddle Club is not part of Deep Dixie Association.  The shows are held on school property and membership is required to participate.  Membership is open to everyone at $10.00 individual or $20.00 per family per year.

Several clubs have asked me to help spread the word on their upcoming shows.  I listed any contact information I had, however, also recommend that you verify shows before
you make a trip as I am not monitoring any reschedules or cancellations.

The groups involved are Deep Dixie, NBHA, IBRA, SGBRA, Mitchell Co. (Pelham), Central GA, and
some super shows.
