Do you remember when horses roamed Forest Acres?

Former Webb Riding Academy instructor Hughes Webb and one of his horses.

Giddy up, y’all! Imagine, learning to ride horses smack-dab in the middle of Forest Acres. Back in the day, many people did just that at Webb Riding Academy. Columnist Salley McInerney is seeking memories, old photos and the story behind the stables and horseback riding school which was once located near the intersection of Trenholm and Brennan roads. Did you learn to ride horses there? Was there a summer camp of sorts there? Did you know Mr. Webb? Are any members of his family still in Columbia? Please email Salley at salley.mac@gmail.com. if you have any information that could help her put together a story about this special place.
