Now is the time of year when equestrian families are finalizing their summer vacation plans and horse show schedules.
The Classic Company offers you the opportunity to do both! Set sail for the South Carolina scenic coastline July 10 through 20 and join them at the 21st annual Charleston Classic Horse Show at the Mullet Hall Equestrian Center on Johns Island in South Carolina.
Most importantly, make sure to book your rooms and condos now! This is such a vacation destination, you’ve got to book soon. Classic Company’s Official Lodging Partner is the pet-friendly Land’s Inn at 2545 Savannah Highway in Charleston. The Land’s Inn is approximately 18 miles from the show grounds and looks forward to welcoming you, your families and your four legged friends. You can call them at 843-763-8885 or visit them on the web at creeksidelandsinn.com. Make sure to mention you will be attending the Charleston Summer Classic shows.
If condo is the way you like to go and the phrase “seven miles from the show grounds” sounds good to you, the Classic Company recommends several and they are listed in the prize list. Most are located on Seabrook Island and Kiawah Island and all offer close proximity to the show and the beach. Make sure to book now for the show and vacation experience you will never forget.
To celebrate its 21st year, the Classic Company will be hosting weekly $25,000 Grand Prix and $2,500 National Hunter Derbies. The Charleston Classic Horse Shows are the most well-loved, perfect horse shows for the entire family. Located just miles from the breathtaking beaches of Charleston and the historic charm of downtown, the Charleston Classic just oozes with Southern hospitality. The Classic Company pulls out all the stops to make sure your horse show competition is the best both in and out of the ring.
Classic Company President Bob Bell commented, “The Charleston Classic has always been the Classic Company’s flagship show. It started out as a horse show to help the club at Seabrook Island draw people to the islands. That first small show twenty one years ago helped to propel the Classic Company to a reputation of producing top equestrian events.”
