Horseman’s Profile
Questionaires in Mail
The Tryon Riding & Hunt Club
throughout the year receives
numerous calls from visitors,
grandparents and residents
pertaining to the following: Who
gives riding lessons, trail rides,
leases horses, boards horses, has
pasture for rent, types of horses
in the area, carriage driving
lessons, who rents carriages for
weddings, if we visit for the
weekend can we lease a horse to
go hunting/trail riding or will
someone take us on a carriage
ride, etc.
Therefore we have compiled a
‘Horseman’s Profile’ that has
been mailed to SOME of the
horsemen in our area. If you do
not receive this questionaire
within the next few days and can
provide the services listed above
(and some we may not have
thought about) please call the
office (859-6109) 9 - 12, 1, 4, m-f)
and we will be happy to send you
one.
