FENCE Equestrian Center

Since holding its first event in the late 1980's, the FENCE Equestrian Center has gained a reputation as one of the finest facilities of its kind in the Southeast.

With permanent stabling for over 300 horses in eleven barns, all-weather footing in three lighted show rings (including a covered arena), on-site parking and spectator seating, the Equestrian Center hosts events in all disciplines year-round.

Cross-country and two-day events are a regular feature of the equestrian calendar, from FENCE's own Horse Trials to those organized by the Tryon Riding and Hunt Club and the Foothills Riding Club. Our cross-country course was designed by Captain Mark Phillips, with a variety of terrain offering a challenge to eventers of all levels.


A-rated Hunter/Jumper events, dressage, driving, and Pony Club activities can also be found on our calendar. Whether it's a quiet hack through our fields or the excitement of top-flight competition, there's something for every equestrian at FENCE!
