110th Annual Aiken Horse Show in the Woods
Join us for the 110th annual Aiken Horse Show in Hitchcock Woods!
Whether you are an equestrian, outdoor enthusiast, history buff, local business, or simply appreciate rich new experiences – The Aiken Horse Show has something for you! Established by Mrs. Hitchcock in 1916, the Aiken Horse Show has retained its rustic charm and remains one of the foremost equestrian competitions in Aiken. Best of all this prestigious show takes place where it has for the last 110 years – in the middle of beautiful Hitchcock Woods!
Spectators are invited to view the lovely show grounds, setting, and competition for free over the course of the entire weekend. The show is free to those who hike in via any of the Woods main entrances. Driving into the Woods is permitted for the Show and entails a $10 parking donation to the Hitchcock Woods Foundation. Spectators may bring their own picnic, purchase lunch from the concession stand or purchase a ticket for a catered lunch under the big tent – and view the lovely show grounds, setting and, competition each day.
