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
Summer Camps 2025
At Bramblewood Stables we’re leading a global shift in how humans interact with horses -- one rooted in mutual trust, emotional awareness, and ancient horsemanship principles that were lost when horses moved from livelihood to leisure.
Connection Camp isn’t just another horse camp. It’s an immersive experience designed to teach kids what should have always come first—how to communicate, collaborate, and build a real partnership with a horse.
The next generation of horsemen and horsewomen starts here. Will your child be part of it?
Curious about our work?
Our urban farm in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains is changing what it means to work with horses in a global way. From mindset coaching to riding lessons to respite sessions to camps and workshops, the horse world is changing and we’re leading the way.

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.
