Directions to Emerald Spring Equestrian Center:

From Columbia: Take I-26 W towards Greenville-Spartanburg, and take the Chapin exit (there is only one), and go left off of the exit ramp. Go into the town of Chapin, being very careful not to speed, as we have several "Barney Phifes." The road takes a sharp turn to the left, and goes over the RR tracks, and then there is a traffic light. Take a right at the light onto 76. go about two blocks, and take a left onto St. Peter's Church Road just after Hardee's. Go about 3 miles, and take a left on Dreher Island Road (there will be a reddish-brown "Dreher Island State Park" sign indicating to turn there, as well.) Go approximately three miles to the end of Dreher Island Road, and take a right onto Macedonia Church Road. Go a little less than a mile, and take the first left onto Holland's Landing Road. Take the first right off of Holland's Landing onto WJ McCartha Road, and our farm is on the corner on the left. The driveway is about 200 yards on the left. It is a circular drive that will be one way to the right for the Keuring. Go around the circular driveway to the right, and to the barn that you will see as you turn onto WJ McCartha. You can unload there, and we will show you where to park afterward.

From Greenville-Spartanburg: Take I-26E towards Columbia. Take exit 74/ SC HWY 34, and go right off the ramp. Go about 2.2 miles, and take a left onto HWY. 76. You will go about 5-6miles to the town of Prosperity, where the road narrows from four to two lanes. Stay in the right lane, which veers to the right and turns into 391, and goes through "downtown" Prosperity. Keep going straight through Prosperity, and that road turns into Macedonia Church Road after the stop light in town (391 goes to the right at the light...stay straight!) You will then go about 6-7 miles on Macedonia Church Road, and you will see the Newberry County Safety/Emergency Complex on the right. A mile past that complex, Holland's Landing veers off to the right, WJ McCartha is the first right, and the farm is there on the left, as in the above directions.
