Tryon International Equestrian Center (Mill Spring, North Carolina)

Today, I visited the Tryon International Equestrian Center.  This is a world-class center and the grounds are magnificent.  Besides the horses, there are lots of shops, restaurants and things to do.  Today, I was lucky enough to see a lot of the horses practicing and even a competition.  These horses are gorgeous and AMAZING!  It was a beautiful day here in Tryon and I am so glad I visited this place.  It's free, parking is free, and it's just a really nice place to walk around and explore.  The horses are so pampered and well-cared for - one even was getting a nice bath after he competed.  And, they are super dog-friendly, as is depicted by my last few photos!


The horses were SO impressive!  (Some being ridden by children.)








So beautiful!


This guy was getting a bath - he seemed to enjoy it!

The puppy was so cute, he was trying to get the bulldog to heel 
(the bulldog wasn't having any part of that!)
