Destination Carolinas
We travel from the beaches to the mountains of North and South Carolina in this episode, exploring the Biltmore Estate on horseback, Daufuskie Island and riding with Cherokee Tribal Members in the Great Smoky Mountains. There are over 100 miles of Appalachian trails surrounding the Biltmore Estate which we explore on horseback, much as guests of George Vanderbilt would have during the Gilded Age. The Biltmore Equestrian Center focuses on natural horsemanship, which helps riders learn how to communicate with their equine partners. We see some resident horses in training and learn why natural horsemanship is a powerful method of understanding horses. Next we check out the thriving arts scene in downtown Asheville, before taking a lesson in rock climbing at Chimney Rock Park. We travel further West to meet up with Cherokee tribal members and examine the history of horses in Cherokee culture. We ride Tennessee Walking horses and fish for trout in the Great Smoky Mountains. Finally, we step back in time to a small barrier island full of Southern charm and only accessible via ferry. Cantering along the wide, pristine beaches of Daufuskie Island is the perfect way to explore this small island off of Hilton Head Island, S.C. We learn about the islands original inhabitants, the Cusabo Indians, on a ride down dirt roads towards a maritime forest that was inhabited thousands of years ago by the Cusabo.
