10 Year Anniversary of Carolina Horse Park and Southern Pines I & II Horse Trials Go Hand in Hand
RAEFORD, NC – This year marks the ten year anniversary of Carolina Horse Park. We will celebrate this milestone by paying tribute to all of our sponsors, exhibitors and friends whom have made the facility what it is today. We have started our next decade on a high note with record numbers of entries secured for the 2009 Southern Pines I and II Horse Trials.
The countryside of Hoke County will come alive the weekends of March 14-15 and March 20-22 when these Horse Trials take place at the Park. A broad base of diverse equestrian talent will be here to compete including several International, Olympic & World Championship event riders. On Sunday, March 22, the accomplishments of Will Faudree's long time partner "Antigua" will be honored in a retirement ceremony. In addition, this year marks the retirement of our beloved, long-time horse trials organizer Lefreda Williams. We will celebrate Lefreda's amazing efforts with a dedication ceremony in her honor.

What’s a Hunter Pace? The Sherwood Forest Equestrian Center's Hunter Pace is a cross-country-style course around Sherwood Forest over various natural obstacles/terrain. The course ends with a final treat for riders to take in stunning views of Mt. Hood with a loop through the old Far Hill Farms field. The beginning of the course will first start with a warm-up loop around show jumping obstacles in the outdoor ring at Sherwood Forest and then riders will continue directly onto the course.

Alliston’s Busy Weekend, Braitling’s Reuniting with Five-Star Mount, & Kalkman’s Advanced Victory Highlight Twin Rivers Summer H.T.
As he was finishing tacking up his horse in preparation to navigate the cross-country course at the 2024 Twin Rivers Summer Horse Trials, James Alliston expressed concern about navigating the 101 Freeway. That’s because as soon as he crossed the finish line aboard Intermediate level winner Addyson (Ampere x Nickerbocker) at 10:38 a.m. on Saturday—his fifth cross-country round of the morning with three at Preliminary and two at Intermediate—the West Coast-based five-star rider had to drive 185 miles on the 101 Freeway from Twin Rivers Ranch in Paso Robles, California, to San Francisco International Airport to catch a 4:35 p.m. flight to Frankfurt, Germany.
