Autumn Trail Ride Series
The weather is finally cooling off here in the South and so we are excited to announce the start of our Autumn Trail Ride Series!
Beginning Saturday September 20th, we will be riding together on Saturdays and some Sundays in September and October.
These rides are open to everyone- an opportunity to enjoy the scenic coastal countryside, spend time with friends, and enjoy the fall riding season with Salt Marsh Hounds.
Invite a friend, and get ready to saddle up with us this fall!
To participate, you'll need your negative coggins and a signed waiver.
These rides are complimentary for members. For non-member guests, a suggested donation of $25 is greatly appreciated, but is never required.

A more moderate group, following the hounds at a steadier pace. Riders may jump optional fences or go around, and the focus is on enjoying the hunt at a walk, trot, and canter, without pressing too hard.Third Field / Hilltoppers
Perfect for newcomers, young riders, or those who prefer a relaxed ride. This field follows the action at a distance, often sticking to good ground and safe footing, with plenty of time to take in the countryside and camaraderie at a walk and trot.
