ABOUT LEE REED
owner and manager
Hello! My name is Lee Reed. I am the owner and manager of Ivy Bridge Stables. For 19 years I have lived in the horse world, riding and managing and enjoying every second of it. I have been lucky enough to have a lifetime of experience showing, teaching lessons, managing working barns, and simply kicking around the barn.
I graduated from SCAD in 2023 with a major in Equine Studies and minor in business. My studies at SCAD included equine health, care, and veterinary practices, training, teaching, business management, course design, barn design, and so much more!
As a long time rider and barn manager, I understand what makes a great barn, and what services and amenities riders want and need. My goal is to develop Ivy Bridge into one of the Charleston area's premier horse boarding facilities, and to offer each horse and owner a premium boarding experience with a personal touch. I look forward to welcoming you to Ivy Bridge Stables!
