King’s Tree Trials to Run on On November 13th horse racing fans from across Williamsburg County and the state of South Carolina will make their way to the 9th Annual King’s Tree Trails to enjoy the day’s events. Horse racing may be the main event, but tailgating is a close second as grills are fired up and tables are spread with local delicacies. By noon, when the first race is run, the mood is set to watch the thoroughbreds compete. The Trials began in 1996 when Williamsburg County Superviser, Richard Treme, approached Bobby and Debby McCutchen about reviving horse racing in the area. The McCutchen’s agreed to host a race event at their McCutchen Training Center. Sponsored by the Hometown Chamber, the King’s Tree Trials have grown each year in both participation and attendance. Bobby and Debby have been involved in the horse industry for 20 years. Their training center in Kingstree is noted for breaking and training horses that go on to run in top races throughout the US. Debby is a Vice President of the SCTOBA. The King’s Trials are similar, yet different than other South Carolina horse events. The Trials promotes a casual family atmosphere. It’s the perfect community day where families, friends, and neighbors come together to commemorate the rich history horses have played in the area as well as to visit and renew friendships.
