New jumps coming to The Carolina Horse Park!
Some new fences are slated to make their debut at The Carolina Horse Park in Raeford, N.C. Think this looks a little familiar? That’s because they have been generously given from Brad Turley at Southern 8th’s Farm, which hosted the Heart of the Carolinas Three-Day Event. Though the much loved HOTC event is no longer held, the fences can continue to be a part of eventing. Thank you Brad for all you have done for our sport.

Tuesday News:
The ever present conversation in eventing is safety. How can we make cross country safer? This is a puzzle with many interlocking pieces, but riders can be accountable, too. Heading out on course, you’re entering into a contract with your horse where you are responsible for setting them up for success.
