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

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

Enhanced land and infrastructure value
