The SC Horsemen’s Council has a very active Trails Effort headed up by Jim Edwards. Through the SETC event hosted by the SCHC in 2008, we made great friends with many of the State agencies that manage equestrian trails around SC. These relationships have enable us to partner with several of these agencies to improve the equestrian experience on public lands. New plans are constantly in the works and we will try to keep you advised of those. Following is som e information regarding trails activities.
