Charleston Equestrian Real Estate

It is little wonder that a city with the history, charm and affluence of Charleston, S.C., also would have a strong equestrian pedigree.

Perhaps the most visible sign of the city’s horse-riding heritage can be seen at The College of Charleston, which fields one of the nation’s top equestrian teams year after year.  The school’s equestrian team has won the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association Regional Championship 18 times, and it has finished among the top-10 during Nationals every year since 1984.

Elsewhere, the city’s love of horses and high society combine on the second Sunday in November for the Charleston Cup steeplechase race.  The Charleston Cup is held at The Plantation at Stono Ferry, 20 miles south of Charleston.  This real estate and home community offers a private equestrian facility for riding and boarding horses.

Spectators also frequent the Mullet Hall Equestrian Center at Johns Island County Park, which hosts numerous competitive horse shows, festivals, events and exhibitions.  For those who would rather ride than watch, Mullet Hall Equestrian Center offers approximately 20 miles of trails that wind through the 738-acre site.

The Seabrook Equestrian Center, which offers boarding to island residents and non-residents, is considered one of the best horse facilities in Charleston and throughout South Carolina.  The Center offers private and group lessons for all levels of experience, and among its trails is one of the few beach rides along the Atlantic Ocean.
