South Carolina Upstate Equine Council
SCUEC IS CONTRIBUTING MANY WORKING HOURS FOR SUCCESCUEC’S VISION: To build upon our existing world class equestrian facilities, promote nature-based programs, and provide equine education.
We are working to become a magnet in the Upstate for all equine activities, and to provide a positive impact improving the quality of life . . . for children and adults!
Beginning in late 2009, a group of citizens with the equestrian interests along with representatives of local governments, Clemson University, other educational institutions, and the Vision Plan leaders from Anderson, Pickens, & Oconee counties, came together to explore a collaboration to increase the importance of the equine presence in this region.
The three counties, with more than 11,000 horses, and an annual economic impact over $63 million, saw the need to expand and improve the facilities at Clemson’s T. Ed Garrison Arena, and some of the adjoining property making Clemson and its surrounding area a premier destination for equine sports competitions and other activities, and create a venue for cross-country and other multi-day competitions.
