A HORSE ENTHUSIASTS RESORT

The equestrian center sets Seabrook Island apart from most other beach communities on the east coast.

Charles Hairfield, executive director of Seabrook Island Equestrian Center says…“It’s certainly the only place in Charleston and one of the few places that offer beach riding along the east coast, so we are very fortunate that we can do that ride”

 For Tunu Misra and his family from Northern Virginia, horseback riding was high on the priority list when they came down to vacation on Seabrook.

 “We thought it would be something nice for us to do. The kids you know are pretty young and on the smaller side. So it’s been awhile since we’ve done something this rigorous but they were up for it, we’re up for it, so we figured we would give it a try,” said Misra.

 The Seabrook Island Equestrian Center is the only amenity on the island that is open to the public. They are open Monday through Saturday and offer everything from beginner rides to private boarding and advanced lessons.  For additional information contact the Equestrian Center at 843-768-7543.

Don’t forget to stop by and say hello to The Kiawah Seabrook Group, conveniently located at Bohicket Marina & Market for all of your real estate information.
