Daily Schedule of Events:  This year’s ride located on the beautiful Lakeview Plantation in South Carolina will benefit the South Carolina 4-H Horse Program and American Quarter Horse Foundation. Hayward and Dona Simmons, owners of Lakeview Plantation, have developed this property into an excellent equestrian getaway. Located approximately 80 miles southwest of Columbia , the facility offers a peaceful getaway among forests and wildlife management lands. Corral stabling is located at each campsite. Quiet evenings may be enjoyed sitting under the stars, meeting new friends and sharing conversation with long-time friends. For more information on Lakeview Plantation, visit www.lakeviewplantation.com .  

The weekend is designed to allow riders to enjoy over 60 miles of well-marked trails at their leisure. One can ride through a mix of palmetto, pine, cypress and hardwoods on 40 miles of marked trails divided into six loops of approximately seven miles each or explore an additional 40-50 miles of unmarked trails. Many trails can accommodate wagons. There is the choice of riding one day or all three days with camping sites and RV hook-ups available. For those who don’t wish to camp, there are rooms in the heated and air conditioned lodge.    

On Saturday, educational sessions will be presented by AQHA Professional Horseman, Mike Kinsey of Belton , S.C. , Nutrena Feeds, Debi Metcalfe of the Stolen Horse International, Inc. and the Netposse.com, and the Southern Blue Ridge Back Country Horsemen.

He will introduce his Start‘Em Right technique, and riders may schedule clinic time with him throughout the weekend. Nutrena Feeds will be on hand to discuss equine nutrition.
