We’re off to the races again at Tryon International Equestrian Center. TIEC is a world class equestrian facility that hosts many prestigious events throughout the year. While you may feel removed from the hustle and bustle at TIEC, you'll find no shortage of amazing lodging options, ample food and entertainment in the village (nearly every night of the week), beautiful surroundings. This dynamic course features well-trodden horse trails, thigh burning red clay hill climbs, and rushing creek-beds will test your dexterity if you want to reach the finish line.
