TR&HC Horse and Hound Show
2026-04-17 - 2026-04-19 | FENCE, 3381 Hunting Country Rd, Tryon, NC 28782
The Tryon Horse and Hound Show brings back to Tryon one of the Club’s oldest historical events. This show is believed to have started in 1928 though the first program we have located is for a show in 1935. Either way, this is historic!
For 2026, we anticipate both horses, hounds and the Silent Auction to return to our most recent location at FENCE. This show continues to grow in popularity and we are excited to build on its success this year. The prize list is now available at www.harmonclassics.com.
Sponsorships are available! Contact us for more information.

In terms of history, the Club desired to re-establish the old tradition and so a Horse Show was held in 2018 (and then again in 2019) and was the first club-sponsored horse show at Harmon Field since the 1980’s. In 2020, plans to add a hound show to the horse show were canceled due to the pandemic. However, in June of 2020, several fox hunting clubs decided to get together and hold a small, informal puppy show with full Covid precautions as a test event and this was concluded successfully.

Silent Auction at the Horse & Hound Show
2026-04-19 04:00 - 2026-04-20 12:00 | FENCE, 3381 Hunting Country Rd, Tryon, NC 28782
The Silent Auction has become a traditional part of the Horse and Hound Show. The Silent Auction opens on Saturday afternoon and concludes at noon on Sunday. A wide ranging assortment of equine and canine theme items are featured – many one of a kind, and a few super antiques have been know to be part of the auction. Activities such as golf rounds, a dinner table a Legends, lessons and other experiences are also featured. Proceeds from the event benefit the TR&HC Philanthropy Program that supports the Club’s Annual Scholarships, Equestrian grants, and grants to local non-profit organizations.
We welcome donations of items with an equine or canine theme, as well as experiences such as a riding lesson, capping fees, dinner for 4, a mani-pedi and similar items. Please contact the office (828-351-9709) if you wish to donate. We’d appreciate it!

Charity I Horse Show (Spring 2) June 2-7, 2026
2026-06-02 - 2026-06-07 | Tryon International Equestrian Center
Every year, TR&HC names local charities as recipients of a grant from the two Charity Shows. In 2025, the Charity I Show recipient was The Equine Journey:

Charity I Horse Show
The Tryon Riding & Hunt Club puts on two A-rated horse shows each spring at the Tryon International Equestrian Center that attract from 600 to 700 horses from across the United States. These have come to be know locally as Charity I and Charity II.
The Charity I Show, first held in 1926, was designated in 2019 as one of its Heritage Horse Shows by the U.S. Equestrian Federation. This designation, according to USEF, “ is reserved for competitions that have been established for a long period of time and have made substantial contribution toward the development and promotion of the sport, both within the broader community, by achieving, maintaining and promoting the equestrian ideals of the sportsmanship and competition.” Other shows which share the designation include Devon, Blowing Rock Charity Horse Show, Deep Run, Upperville, Washington International, and Pennsylvania National, among others.
Charity II began in 2003. Both shows are open to riders of all ages—both amateur and professional—the divisions include working, handy and green hunters; adult and junior hunters; equitation; pony hunters; and high-performance hunters as well as jumper classes for children and adults.
Initially held at Harmon Field in Tryon, the Charity I and II shows were moved to the Foothills Equestrian and Nature Center in the 1980’s before settling at TIEC starting in 2014 with its better facilities and footing, a plus for attracting top national competitors.
Each year, the Riding & Hunt Club fulfills the Charity designations by making gifts to local equestrian and community organizations at the Saturday night Grand Prix of each weekend.
The partnership between the TR&HC and TIEC has allowed the club to continue to grow its A-rated shows while offering the best in competition. The shows also offer the TR&HC the opportunity to welcome trainers and riders to Tryon’s horse-friendly atmosphere that competitors really seem to appreciate.
