South Carolina was the 8th state in the USA; it became a state in 1788. From the most beautiful mountain lake in the nation to the white sand beaches and islands of the South Carolina coast, the remarkable natural beauty of South Carolina outdoors is extraordinary. From the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Atlantic Coast, South Carolina trails take you into romantic cities, rural villages and wilderness areas. Horseback riding in South Carolina packs some amazingly diverse terrain into a relatively small region. The Palmetto State forms a triangular area from a sliver of the Appalachian Mountains to the sandy, sub-tropical coastal plain. There are over 120 miles of publicly accessible horseback riding trails in South Carolina and more private horseback areas than you can count. In other words, this is a fine state for those of you who enjoy trailblazing down equine pathways. http://directory.localriding.com/%cat_tags%/ en-us The South Carolina Dressage and Combined Training Association (SCDCTA) is dedicated to the promotion of equine sports of dressage and combined training in the state of South Carolina. <br><br> SCDCTA membership entitles you to the following: - Monthly newsletter with classified advertisements (via email or mail) - Website www.SCDCTA.com - Automatic group membership with USDF (www.usdf.org) - Subscription to monthly USDF Connection magazine - Copy of Dressage in the Carolina’s omnibus (if membership received before - January 1st) - Over 15 schooling shows yearly offering dressage, combined training and/or eventing to qualify for year-end awards - Rider achievement certificate and medals program - Raffle drawing at schooling shows - Annual awards banquet - Attend board meetings - Sharing your equine interests with others, and meeting and making new friends. http://www.scdcta.com/ 1.00
