Some include the Carolina International CCI and Horse Trial, the War Horse Event Series that alone attracts more than 2,000 competitors, Dressage shows, and Steeplechase. Maybe after checking out this facility, you might become an equestrian competitor or for sure an avid fan. Read on about this gorgeous park and the lovely animals that visit.

Welcome to the pretty Carolina Horse Park!

This professional facility has 192 permanent stalls, three show-jumping rings, a dressage area, six championship-level cross-country courses, and a steeplechase track.

One white-knuckle experience you won't want to miss is the Timberland Combined Driving Event and Combined Test.

We like cheering on some of the returning favorites in the challenging courses.

Some community events at the Carolina Horse Park in North Carolina include the Hawk Manor Falconry and Chip Gentry - Falconry & Birds of Prey Education.

Visitors will learn about the history of falconry, the oldest hunting sport, and have an intimate encounter with multiple species of bird of prey.

The Donovan Pavilion is the site of the Moore Equine Treehouse Event Series Social.

It's a great way to relax and end a show day.

The competitions continue on throughout the winter months.

Sign up for the Sedgefield at the Park Winter Classic NCHJA "C" H/J Show in December, the Pipe Opener I Combined Test in January, and the Pipe Opener II Combined Test in February.

Whatever the season, it's good to know a first-rate facility awaits such exceptional talent.
