How Southern Pines became horse countryA winter colony, a racing town, the eventers, and the trust that keeps 4,000 acres open.
The Foundation & hunt countryWhere to ride, what the hunt means here, and how far it is to everywhere else.
Shows, venues & the calendarLocal competitions, schooling shows, clinics and more.
The heart of it is Southern Pines and the surrounding towns in Moore County, North Carolina: Pinehurst, Aberdeen, Vass, Carthage, Cameron and West End, with Raeford (Hoke County) and Sanford (Lee County) close enough that many barns, vets and farriers work across all of them. The sandy soil drains fast, which is why the ground is rideable nearly year-round and why horse people have settled here for a century.
A charitable trust of more than 4,000 acres of longleaf pine at the heart of Southern Pines and Vass horse country, bordered by Fort Bragg, open every day from sunrise to sunset to riders, carriage drivers and walkers at no charge. Pappy and Ginnie Moss founded it in 1974 with 1,700 acres and it has grown since. It has miles of sandy roads and trails and is the reason many equestrians choose to live within hacking distance of it. Rules and trail maps are on walthour-moss.org.
Boarding barns (full, partial, pasture and retirement board), lesson barns and riding schools, training barns by discipline, haul-in schooling facilities and cross-country courses, show venues and arenas for lease, and riding clubs and organizations such as Pony Club, hunt, driving and trail riding groups. Each listing shows what the business itself entered: amenities, price range, turnout, disciplines, who they teach, how to book, and contact links.
Foxhunting, eventing, dressage, hunter/jumper, carriage driving, trail riding and many western disciplines are all here, and the area hosts recognized horse trials, dressage shows, hunter paces, carriage events, barrel races and rodeos through the year. Many barns welcome more than one discipline; use the search above to filter by the one you ride. Whatever you ride, we're all united by a love of horses, open space and a welcoming community.
Fill out the free registration form. It takes a few minutes, adjusts to the kind of business you run, and takes photos. Listings are reviewed before they're published and can be updated any time by emailing brittany@bpaschalco.com.

Brittany Paschal grew up in Southern Pines and rode at the upper levels of eventing before starting her real estate career in 2014. She lives in the heart of horse country, on a farm bordering the Walthour‑Moss Foundation, and knows this place the way you only can from the saddle: which trails hold up after a rain, which farms hack out well, where the footing is best and the neighbors are kind. Whether she's out with the Moore County Hounds on a crisp fall morning, volunteering at a local horse event, or riding a client around a property to see how it feels from horseback, she's usually on a horse. Farms and estate properties are her specialty, but she works all of Moore County real estate: village homes, golf communities, land, new construction, and investment property. There's nothing she loves more than welcoming new equestrians to the Sandhills. Tell her what you're looking for.
