- We are now accepting reservations for trail rides Wednesdays through Saturdays year-round, except by special appointment, major holidays or otherwise noted, beginning December 1, 2022.
- Departure and ride duration times are flexible and dependent upon the tide schedule and/or the time of year.
- Thanks for understanding that riding on the beach is limited to between October 15th – March 15th each year out of respect for sea turtle nesting season and the general increase of beach going tourists. When this county ordinance prohibits us from riding on the beach, we ride a semi-private trail system through dirt roads and maritime forests with breathtaking marsh and river views.
- We do not accept beginner and/or physically unfit riders. You must have novice or better riding experience which is defined by us as the ability to independently, confidently and proficiently mount, walk, posting trot, change direction, halt and dismount your horse.
- Please click here for our complete Trail Ride Policies & Procedures which we have designed for everyone’s safety and enjoyment in mind. All riders will be required to read and sign this document, read and sign our equine liability release waiver and complete a questionnaire to help us measure your actual riding experience in advance of riding with us.
- Youth (ages 10-18) must be currently enrolled or have been enrolled for at least one “semester” in a riding lesson program to be welcome to ride with us.
- Participants must weigh less than 225 lbs to participate in a trail ride.
- We (currently as of 12/1/2022) can accommodate up to two people for a trail ride at once.
- We will notify you of the location of your ride departure. Ride departure locations may vary.
- We will provide complimentary pick up and drop off to any location on the island if you need land transportation to us.
- Contact us directly with any questions or special requests. We will do our best to accommodate you.
- A portion of the proceeds from your trail ride adventure goes directly towards the costs to provide quality, routine care for our critically endangered SC State Heritage Horses.
