Aiken
November 2020 Update-
I will be going to Aiken on Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend. (The 28th). This is the normal time I go to Aiken. It takes us a couple of weeks to get the farm ready for guests to come down. My dates to come back home to teach are:
12/12-13
1/2-3
1/16-17
1/30-31
2/20-21
If you are interested in coming to Aiken please let me know as soon as possible! Covid has made planning difficult but because of that I am limiting how many stalls I rent out. I want my regular students to have available stalls but I have already had a lot of interest from professionals inquiring about big blocks of stalls. Please get me dates that you are considering!
I hope you all can come! Sally

Our place in Aiken is set on 27 acres 5 1/2 miles out of the center of town. It is convenient to many hotels , stores and restaurants. We have lots of show jumps, some cross country jumps and a dressage ring. We have lots of turn out available in individual paddocks. Lessons are available daily and we go cross country schooling many times a week. Pine Top is an hour away and all the other events are within 20 minutes. There are 5 cross country courses nearby that we use to school. There are many derbies ,combined tests and some unrecognized events held in Aiken while we are down there. .Hitchcock Woods is close to our place. It is a 2000 acre park that is great for trail riding. We are 25 minutes from the Augusta airport and an hour and 15 minutes from Columbia airport.
Many people have mentioned that they are concerned that their horse is not far enough along in its training to come down, but Aiken is a great experience for greener horses. The footing is sand so we are able to school more in good footing and the environment is relaxed. I try to get my babies far enough along to be able to cross country school them while we are down there.
