45th “Morris the Horse” Trials

Fall Horse Trials at FENCE

Each October, Tryon Riding & Hunt Club sponsors its Fall “Morris the Horse” Trials for eventers at the Foothills Equestrian and Nature Center (FENCE) in Tryon. This event typically attracts riders from as many as 13 states in western North Carolina and the Southeast.  In recent years, a College Cup Challenge has been held for college teams with 6-8 teams usually competing.

Divisions range from Starter to Preliminary and are open to professional and amateur riders.  The XC Course is designed by local Greg Schlappi.  The SJ course is designed by a rotating expert from among local designers and respected designers from Area III states.
