Enjoy the fun of a horse trail obstacle course - and more - at the recent CMA horse campout at Montana de Oro State Park.

For over a century, horse enthusiasts from around the world have saddled up and settled down in the Carolina foothills. The rural landscape is home to beautiful farms and rolling hillsides at the front stoop of the breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountains—an idyllic, picturesque setting for horses and riders alike. This is Tryon Horse Country: a region rich with small-town charm and a vibrant equestrian lifestyle stretching from upstate South Carolina to the base of the Appalachian mountains.

Trails at the Red Horse Inn - Landrum, SC. We had miles and miles of these trails to walk and ride. We joined The Greenfield County Hounds--one of the oldest Fox Hunts on the East Coast and rode these trails with the hounds.
