LIFESTYLE SPOTLIGHT
EQUESTRIAN & SPORTING CLAYS IN THE LOWCOUNTRY Anyone familiar with our area knows that a world-class golf experience is easy to find. But folks may not realize that well before South Carolina became a colony in 1633, the Lowcountry possessed a rich equestrian history that continues today. Also, the favorable year-round climate is ideal for sporting clay enthusiasts. Love of these sports has endured through generations of South Carolinians (native and newcomer alike), and the lifestyle is more popular than ever. We are blessed with many options to immerse oneself with family and friends in these favorite Lowcountry hobbies.
EQUESTRIAN Our area enjoys several of the best equestrian facilities in the country that offer amenities which include full care boarding, FEI-regulation dressage areas, horse training, and riding schools for all levels. We also have beautiful trail experiences that allow riders to meander through ancient Live Oak forests or along pristine sandy beaches! And regular polo events with beautifully designed tailgate parties are a wonderful way to enjoy friends and family.
SPORTING CLAYS “Golf with a shotgun” is a common description of sporting clays—a form of clay pigeon targetshooting. This sport is one of the closest experiences to actual field shooting thanks to the variety of targets simulating realistic hunting conditions - it is fun for all ages and experience levels! Many local communities have now integrated shooting courses into beautiful maritime forests and other untouched Lowcountry landscapes.
