The Vision

Our vision is to create a nationally recognized equine competition

facility.

An unparalleled competitive experience A facility with the best amenities for our customers An outstanding location in which to reside Preserving the region’s open space Growing the local economy and being good

neighbors

The History

Southern Pines emerged as a “horse heaven”

Real estate was available at affordable prices

Private farms were graciously shared

Over time, large tracts of land in our equestrian colony have been lost

Diverse horse sports and competitions have migrated elsewhere

In 1998, a group of equestrian enthusiasts established the Carolina Horse Park

The Current State

Volume of revenue generating events growing

Quality and customer service improving

Growth and maintenance constrained by limited manpower

Annual contributions required to fund operational shortfall

The Future

A self-sustaining facility

Security in the future of equine sports in the Sandhills

Assurance that our region remains a premier equestrian enclave

A vigorous economy

The Outcomes

$6 million in economic impact in the next five years

We estimate our operating income will grow by 50% by the year 2015

A 50% increase in Park utilization by 2015

Enhanced land and infrastructure value
