What do you and your business do?
Eden Farms is a family owned horse stable in the upstate, SC. We offer horse boarding, horseback riding, horse lessons, birthday parties and special events. Riders and horses enjoy 160 acres of rolling fields, riding arenas and trails in the beautiful mountains. Occasionally, we host seasonal events at our barn and the whole family can enjoy. These events happen generally around the holidays and go to support Happy Hooves Therapeutic Equestrian Center. We specialize in equestrian therapy and boarding. My role and responsibilities are to care for the many horses and the facilities they are kept in.
If applicable, what products and/or services does your business offer and do you have any specials or promotions tp share?
Equine therapy, riding and boarding. Equine therapy uses horses in therapeutic settings to promote physical, emotional, and cognitive growth. It encompasses various approaches like equine-assisted psychotherapy (EAP), hippotherapy, and therapeutic riding, each offering unique benefits. Equine therapy can help individuals build confidence, improve communication skills, and regulate emotions.
Eden Farms is the proud home of Happy Hooves Therapeutic Equestrian Center. This program provides horse-centered programs for special needs children and adults, as well as at-risk children and teens. Participants ride and care for horses, developing exceptionally rewarding relationships that benefit mind, body and spirit. This non-profit organization exists because of the generosity of our donors and all proceeds from Eden Farms.
How long have you been a BPW member?
I've been a member since February 2025. I am still a student and I'm a proud recipient of one of the scholarships from South Carolina Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs, Inc.
What is a fun, surprising or unique fact about you?
An interesting fact about me would be that the first time I ever rode a horse I was so young I couldn't even ride by myself. I was riding with my cousin and that lead to me falling in love, which ended up having my mom put me in riding lessons at the age of 4 a year or two later. Since then I have either been riding horses or taking care of them so horses have had a large impact on my life.
