Exciting New Venture Coming to Myrtle Beach: The Stables and Pack House Set to Open by 2025!
Myrtle Beach residents, get ready for some exciting news that’s sure to brighten your community! In a thrilling development, Joshua Clardy, a longtime local, is planning to open a charming horse barn and event venue right here in Myrtle Beach. Named The Stables and Pack House, this fantastic project will be located on a spacious 60-acre plot along S.C. 90, between Thomas and Bear Bluff roads, and it’s set to welcome guests by the end of 2025.
A Glimpse into The Stables
So, what can you expect at The Stables? Well, it’s going to be a horse lover’s paradise! The barn will feature 24 horse stalls for boarding, allowing your equine friends to settle into a cozy, safe environment. For those looking to learn the ropes, The Stables will offer horseback riding lessons, making it easier than ever for both kids and adults to get involved in the world of riding. Plus, there will be veterinary care available for larger animals, ensuring all four-legged visitors maintain their health and happiness.
In an exciting partnership, Christine Long from Pineview Veterinary Hospital in North Carolina will provide veterinary services at The Stables, ensuring top-notch care for all the animals. Whether you’re an experienced rider or just curious about spending some time with horses, this venue promises to provide a fulfilling experience.
Introducing The Pack House
The second half of this project is the highly anticipated The Pack House—a stunning event venue designed to replicate an old-style tobacco barn, spanning an impressive 18,000 square feet. This nostalgic setting will serve as the perfect backdrop for all sorts of events, from weddings to corporate retreats and parties. Just imagine enjoying a beautiful countryside wedding in a venue that truly celebrates the area’s agricultural heritage.
What’s Happening Now?
Currently, preparations are underway, with workers busy clearing the land to make way for this beautiful new addition to the Myrtle Beach area. Clardy is enthusiastic about this venture, noting that the surrounding area along S.C. 90 is beginning to experience a wave of growth akin to other parts of Horry County. In addition to contributing to the local economy, this project aims to reconnect newcomers with the rich history and culture that Horry County has to offer.
Honoring Horry County’s Roots
Clardy has a deep connection to the land, as his family has been part of the Horry County community since the 1800s. With a legacy rooted in farming, he recognizes that the area’s unique culture has diminished in the face of rapid growth. Through The Stables and The Pack House, Clardy hopes to promote engagement with farm lifestyle activities, allowing people to immerse themselves in the community’s agricultural roots. The venue is a nod to the area’s historical connection to tobacco farming, truly celebrating Horry County’s heritage.
Blending Ministry with Community
As an ordained Baptist preacher who has traveled for weddings and southern gospel events, Clardy is infusing his ministerial background into this project. It’s clear that this endeavor is more than just a business for Clardy; it’s a way to serve the community by offering a space that encourages connection, celebration, and an appreciation for the rich history of the area.
With The Stables expected to open in the summer of 2025 and The Pack House aiming to be ready by fall or winter, Myrtle Beach residents have a lot to look forward to. This new venue will surely become a beloved addition to the community, inviting families and friends to enjoy the best of what Horry County has to offer!
