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! \nFor 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. \nSponsorships are available! Contact us for more information.\n \n \nIn 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.

In 2025\, the Charity I Show recipient was The Equine Journey:\n \n\n Charity I Horse Show\nThe 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. \nThe 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. \nCharity 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. \nInitially 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. \nEach 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. \nThe 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. \nFor more information please contact us or visit the TIEC homepage. \nCharity Horse Show Gallery\nClick on the photo to enlarge \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Caroline Maude Hedges URL:https://tryonridingandhuntclub.org/event/charity-i-horse-show-1/ LOCATION:Tryon International Equestrian Center CATEGORIES:Carolinas Show Hunter Hall of Fame ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://tryonridingandhuntclub.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/DSC_2876.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260701 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260706 DTSTAMP:20260404T005855 CREATED:20230828T201052Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260116T212451Z UID:3797-1782864000-1783295999@tryonridingandhuntclub.org SUMMARY:Charity II Horse Show (Summer 4) July 1-5\, 2026 DESCRIPTION:The 2025 Charity Show II grant recipients from TR&HC are:\n \n  \nThe Tryon Riding & Hunt Club puts on two A-rated horse shows each spring at the Tryon International Equestrian Center that attract 600 competitors  from across the United States.
