The Tryon International Fall Three-Day Event & Horse Trials, originally scheduled for Oct. 31-Nov. 3 at the Tryon International Equestrian Center, has been canceled due to damage incurred on the White Oak cross-country course by Hurricane Helene. The remainder of the property in Mill Spring, North Carolina, was largely unaffected.

“The White Oak creek that meanders through our cross-country course, along with so many of our Western N.C. waterways, experienced significant flooding from Hurricane Helene,” said Tryon Equestrian Partners President Sharon Decker. “At this time, we cannot safely host cross-country competition and are focused on immediate relief needs.”

Since the storm, Tryon International has been serving as a hub for relief efforts, housing first responders and hosting a supply distribution center for individuals in need. Read more about ongoing hurricane relief efforts here. To view resources for donations, aid and information, click here.

The event was scheduled to host beginner novice through intermediate competition, plus a CCI2*-L, CCI3*-S, CCI2*-S and CCI1*-S. 

Eventing at Tryon International is expected to resume as normal in the spring.
