September 23 and 24 see the return of the annual TRHC/USEA cross-country schooling. This activity takes place from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at FENCE in Tryon, North Carolina. Cross-country jumps through Training Level are available.
The schooling is part of Tryon Riding and Hunt Club’s commitment to maintaining the area’s equine traditions. Riders have a chance to enjoy extensive grounds, rolling terrain, an uphill ride, and the water complex. The venue accommodates everyone and their horse from green to experienced.
The cross-country schooling serves as a fund raiser for TRHC’s Morris the Horse Trials which occurs on October 21 and 22, 2023. A Tryon tradition, the Horse Trials will mark their 48th year. The weekend begins with a Low Country Boil Competitor’s Party and includes an Intercollegiate Team Challenge and a Junior Low Score Award.

Coach Halliea Milner loved that the USEA Interscholastic Eventing League (IEL) gave her riders the opportunity to compete together as a team in a normally individual sport.
