Equestrian Property
For those passionate about horses, there’s a large equestrian community located in the Sandhills of North Carolina, which offers a unique micro-climate of lower humidity and quick draining soil that is enjoyed by more then 400 horse farms. You'll find a full spectrum of horse-related activities to participate in, including driving, eventing, dressage, fox hunting and hunt trials as well as pleasure riding. The mild climate and excellent sand footing make the Sandhills an ideal wintering place for top trainers from around the country. The area is quickly becoming a year-round home for many horse owners.
The nearby Walthour-Moss Foundation is a unique area of 4,000 acres, preserved specifically for the enjoyment of all equestrians. Southern Pines, North Carolina is ideal for those who love horses and those who generally love tranquil, beautiful living. The acquisition of property for the purpose of developing a new competition park, Carolina Horse Park at Five Points, ensures that the equestrian tradition will continue to grow and flourish in this unique area of North Carolina.
No matter what your equine discipline or interest - whether you are a competitive rider or ride for pleasure - the Sandhills offers an extraordinary environment for both horse and rider
