Equestrian Sports The Carolina Horse Park… An equestrian “field of dreams”, the Carolina Horse Park Foundation (CHP) is a 250-acre nationally recognized, premiere equine competition venue located in Hoke County, NC. Founded in 1998 as a not-for-profit organization by equestrian enthusiasts, the Park is dedicated to the preservation of open space for equestrian and recreational purposes. Today, CHP is the only equestrian facility in the mid -Atlantic region with multi-disciplined capabilities suitable for championship level equine competitions. In addition, it is now home to a variety of non-equestrian activities including dog shows, cross country runs, county festivals, boy scout meets and more. The Pinehurst Harness Track is a 111-acre equestrian facility that has been a winter training center for Standardbred horses since 1915. The grounds consist of three training tracks and several center aisle barns with approximately 300 stalls, as well as several paddocks. Champion trotters and pacers train on either the 1/2 mile sand/clay track, the 5/8 mile sand/jog track, or the 1 mile clay track, all of which serve as an ideal winter training facility. The tracks are also available for rent when training is not taking place. Typical events include horse shows, car shows, dog shows, and rugby matches.
