Horseback Riding Programs
Guided Trail Rides
The Anne Springs Close Greenway maintains an equestrian facility for professionally led trail rides. The trail rides meander through some of the most beautiful countryside left in this region. The trail riding schedule changes seasonally. All riders must be at least nine years old. In order to preserve trail conditions, all horse trails are closed for at least one day following a rain event of one inch or more. After rain, please call 803-547-1019 to ensure that the trails are open.
All riders must register and pay in advance. The registration sheets are posted on the bulletin board outside at the Horse Barn at 6:00 p.m. on Sunday afternoon for the following Tueday and Saturday trail rides. Trail rides are limited to 12 riders, so once the sign-up sheet is full it is removed. Horses will be saddled and ready fifteen minutes prior to the trail ride. We suggest you arrive 20 minutes before the ride to allow time for adjustments. In case of cancellation due to inclement weather, you will be able to reschedule your ride for a later date.
Trail Ride Schedule
Tuesdays 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm $20/person
Saturdays 9:00 am – 10:30 am $30/person
Trail rides are suspended for the month of July
