Would you like to pretend you are back in time, in an era before cars, riding a gallant horse through an unspoiled forest? Or would you like to see your child ride a pony for the first time? Or have you ever envisioned yourself riding horseback on a white sandy beach? You can experience all three from Hilton Head.

Lawton Stables offers escorted trail rides through the tranquil Sea Pines Forest Preserve, revealing Lowcountry scenery at the gentle pace, in and out of the trees and around the lakes. Trail rides are scheduled daily year around and are available for adults and children eight years old and older. Reservations are required. This is also a great way to entertain a group of people, like a family reunion or company outing.

Lawton also has a small animal farm where children seven and under are able to take pony rides around the small animal farm on one of their adorable Shetland ponies. The animal farm is free, but there is a small fee for the pony ride. Reservations are not required.

While you’re there, don’t miss Harley, an 18.2 hand Clydesdale horse (the kind you see in the Budweiser ads). He has become a favorite of locals and visitors alike. Feel free to give him a pat. He may be big, but he’s very friendly.

The stables are located at 190 Greenwood Drive (you can’t miss the horses grazing in the pastures). For more information and reservations, call Lawton at (843) 671-2586. Unless you’re staying within Sea Pines, there is a fee to pass through the gates, but it’s good for the whole day.
