The Opportunity
Support Carolina Horse Park

Our vision is to create a nationally recognized equine competition facility.
An unparalleled competitive experience
A facility with the best amenities for our customers
An outstanding location in which to reside
Preserving the region’s open space
Growing the local economy and being good neighbors

Southern Pines emerged as a “horse heaven”
Real estate was available at affordable prices
Private farms were graciously shared
Over time, large tracts of land in our equestrian colony have been lost
Diverse horse sports and competitions have migrated elsewhere
In 1998, a group of equestrian enthusiasts established the
Carolina Horse Park

Volume of revenue generating events growing
Quality and customer service improving
Growth and maintenance constrained by limited manpower
Annual contributions required to fund operational shortfall

A self-sustaining facility
Security in the future of equine sports in the Sandhills
Assurance that our region remains a premier equestrian enclave
A vigorous economy

$6 million in economic impact in the next five years
We estimate our operating income will grow by 50% by the year 2015
A 50% increase in Park utilization by
2015
Enhanced land and infrastructure value

Realizing the Vision offer several opportunities to make short and long term pledges
