Rainy weather may stop some sports, but equestrian athletes and their equine partners ride rain or shine.

The summer horse show season at FENCE is in full gallop and the action is non-stop.

Folks from all over the southeast and beyond are trotting, jumping, bathing and brushing all over the show grounds at FENCE.

Dorothy Trapp of Topsail, N.C., the United States Equestrian Federation steward (rules official) for the Tryon Riding and Hunt Club Charity Show says, “I have worked shows here (at FENCE), many times and it is a very pleasant experience. This is a beautiful show grounds that is continually being improved.”
