Horse Events

Because of the pipe collapse at our competition arena, 2026 barrel races have been scheduled at other area arenas.  All horse events except for trail rides are usually held at the Nora Starks Memorial Arena or the adjacent warm up arena, 9275 Hwy 74/64, west of Murphy, N.C. This arena will be undergoing renovation in the next few months. Weather-related rescheduling will be posted on our Facebook page and on this website.  The dates below are a partial listing of events planned for the year; check back with this list during the year for additions and changes.
