Meet Our Sponsors: Nautilus Equine Salt Water Spa

Helios Rehabilitation Center, which is based out of Lincolnton, Georgia, and their Mobile Nautilus Equine Salt Water Spa trailer joined us for a great weekend at Bruce’s Field. Their salt water spa is designed to help prevent inflammation, swelling, and injuries before they begin. The water, which also contains Epsom salts, is kept at a chilly 35 degrees. Each spa cycle runs for 16 minutes total. It is recommended that your horse use the Salt Water Spa after exercise or after showing. For more information about the Nautilus Equine Salt Water Spa and the Helios Rehabilitation Center, please visit https://hserc.com. If you missed them this weekend, they will be returning to Bruce’s Field for our future shows!

Thank you to all of our exhibitors, staff, and sponsors for making our Aiken Winter Encore show a success! We hope to see everyone again for the two-week Aiken Charity Horse Show at Bruce’s Field on May 4-8, 2022 and May 11-15, 2022. Equus Events will also have a horse show at the Tryon International Equestrian Center (TIEC) in Mill Spring, NC, on May 18-22, 2022. This is a WCHR week.

The Inn at Houndslake - Equus Events' official hotel provider and newest corporate sponsor for 2022.

Experience a country club community with an equestrian lifestyle! The Inn at Houndslake is an established tradition of family and location – founded almost 40 years ago by prominent developer Robert Penland. The Inn is still owned by the founding family today.

Siblings Peggy and Rob Penland have helped preserve a piece of the family legacy. Peggy owns the Inn at Houndslake, while her brother's responsibilities include managing the front desk and daily operations. As a result, it is not unusual to be met and welcomed by these traditional boutique Inn owners.

Peggy extends to you a personal invitation to share the heritage of the Inn as part of the Houndslake Community with the genuine Southern Hospitality for which the Aiken is known.

The Inn has the unique distinction of being nestled between the fairways of Houndslake Country Club. As a result, the view from each room is picturesque, which compliments the beauty of the tranquil location, without the distraction of busy parking lots or main roads.

Inn at Houndslake 01

The Inn is considered a relaxed and comfortable destination by new and returning visitors. The décor is traditional with the simplicity and feeling of a home away from home. You will never experience that corporate feeling. With just 30 rooms, each guest can enjoy the Inn's privacy or social aspects at breakfast. The Inn's patio opens onto the golf course and endless walking paths, swimming pool, tennis, and pickleball courts.

Inn at Houndslake 02

The Inn has recently completed a renovation updating each of its rooms in a unique equestrian decor perfect for your home away from home during the horse show! Not to mention it is also dog friendly and an easy 3.8 miles away from Bruce's Field!
