Rooted in Community:
The Auction
Our first-ever hybrid silent auction is now live—running online and in-person as part of the Bramblewood Benefit. From wellness sessions and travel getaways to original art, vintage treasures, and horse-inspired gifts, the auction is filled with items and experiences donated by our incredible community. Every bid directly supports Bramblewood’s urgent move to Lavender Hill, ensuring our herd of sixteen horses, our teaching programs, and our gathering spaces land safely in their forever home. Bidding is open through Sunday, September 14 at 8:00 PM (EDT).
The Bramblewood Benefit and Farewell
On Saturday, September 13 from 3–6 PM, we’ll gather one last time at Bramblewood to honor the land that has carried us for more than two decades. The Benefit will be both a farewell and a rallying point as we prepare for the move to Lavender Hill. Join us for food, stories, time with the herd, and the chance to celebrate the community that has made Bramblewood a place where horses live with dignity, children grow in confidence, and families find connection in nature. Together, we’ll carry that spirit forward into our forever home.
Discover the gift of horses in a peaceful urban oasis, conveniently located in upstate South Carolina. Riding lessons, life coaching, clinics, and equine assisted learning make Bramblewood Stables a welcome reprieve in a busy world

Discover the Bramblewood Difference:
Located minutes from downtown Greenville, South Carolina, Bramblewood Stables is a full service equestrian facility offering dressage, hunter/jumper, and western training for riders and horses of all ages and abilities. Bramblewood is also at the forefront of Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) providing adaptive rides and life coaching for human growth and transformation. Our innovative style of instruction leads riders through a safe and systematic training scale tailored to their individual goals and abilities.
Lessons.
Our riders come from every corner of the world and are of all ages and abilities. Inside our gates you'll find a safe haven to explore your strengths and to discover a few you might have not noticed before. With the guidance of skilled trainers and our incredible staff of resident horses, Bramblewood offers you a time out of time where you can safely explore the traditions and art of riding.
Camps.
Camps at Bramblewood are about exploring fundamental horsemanship skills, forming lifelong friendships and having fun with your favorite equines. Whether you're new to horses or simply want to expand your skills, Bramblewood camps are designed to fill your head with knowledge from the barn to the riding ring and beyond.
Coaching.
Surrounded by acres of woods in the middle of the city, many visitors tell us that they did not expect find a place so accessible that seems so removed from the world. In order to know ourselves better, we must first have the space to feel our bodies. With our feet on the ground and the solid presence of the horse in front of us, Bramblewood’s Equine Assisted Mindset Coaching welcomes clients into a partnership of personal growth.
Our Mission.
Bramblewood Stables is a community of open-minded and creative people who are changing the dialogue of what it means to approach a horse. Though this has long been considered the sport of kings, we believe that everyone has a right to experience the gifts of the horse in a community free of facades. We allow the horses to inspire us with their honesty by honoring where we are and respecting where we’ve been. At Bramblewood we create knowledgeable horse people who know what it is to collaborate with a horse rather than simply riding one.
