Things to Do

Equestrian

North Carolina took center stage when Tryon International Equestrian Center hosted the World Equestrian Games in 2018, but you don’t have to be a championship rider to experience this sport in NC. Book a family-friendly horseback tour in the mountains or a romantic ride on the beach.

Saddle up for fun

Whether you're trotting through misty mountain trails or cantering along sunlit shorelines, North Carolina’s diverse landscapes make every horseback ride feel like a scene from a storybook.
