Welcome!
Welcome to the South Carolina Pinto Horse Association! We are a non-profit club that hosts Open Horse Shows at Mullet Hall Equestrian Center on John's Island, SC. We are a charter of the Pinto Horse Association of America, but you do not have to have a registered Pinto to show with us. Our shows attract roughly 200 exhibitors with Halter, Western, Hunter under saddle and Hunter over fences classes. Our members compete in 7 pointed shows throughout the year with year end high points awarded in over 30 divisions.
We invite you to visit us soon!

Safety Concerns
Due to a number of safety concerns, we must enforce the following rules effective immediately:
- You must be a licensed driver to operate any motorized vehicle - this includes golf carts!!
- No parking around the horse barns - you may load and unload but then all vehicles must be moved to designated parking areas.
Dogs
All Dogs on the show grounds must be restrained on a leash at all times- this will be enforced by show staff as well as Charleston County Parks staff. Animal Control will be called if necessary.
