Bellefield Plantation Stable Tour

About this event

@ Belle Baruch was an extraordinary equestrian. While growing up at Hobcaw, she spent endless hours riding with family and friends. As she matured, she became a dynamic and fearless competitor at polo, horse showing and international show jumping in Europe where she excelled beyond anyone’s imagination. When Belle started building her home at Bellefield Plantation, the stable was of vital importance. She wouldn’t allow a line to be drawn on paper until she had returned from France to supervise! Join Hobcaw Barony staff and volunteers for a stable and grounds tour (the house is closed) of Bellefield Plantation. Participants will drive their own cars one mile from the front gate to Bellefield where the stable tour begins. An experienced equestrian will be present to showcase and discuss Belle’s riding attire and its symbolism, equipment, trophies and medals. Photographs and artifacts will be on hand to feature Belle’s expansive riding exploits in France and here at home. A walking tour of the grounds will take place after the presentation where you can view the pond and the tea terrace on which Belle entertained President Roosevelt for lunch and told her many interesting stories. There will also be a cast iron cooking demonstration. This presentation brings the sights, sounds, and flavors of the past to life. Participants will need to dress for the weather and wear closed-toe shoes. Participant’s automobiles will need to be able to navigate rustic roads comprised of sand and dirt. This is a rain or shine event. (Exertion level: Moderate impact – standing and walking on uneven terrain) Reservations required.
