The Tryon Hounds broke ground on the new hunt barn. The new barn will be constructed out of metal and will feature three stalls, feed room, tack room and grooming stall. Tryon Builders has been selected as the contractor and construction will begin immediately.

“We a certainly blessed to have the community behind our hunt and the overwhelming financial support we received from our members and the community made it possible to rebuild our hunt barn,” commented president of the Tryon Hounds, Becky Barnes. “We want to thank all of the generous donors that made this new barn a reality,” Barnes added.

The Tryon Hounds is one of the oldest and most prestigious hunts in the Southeast and will be kicking off their 90th hunt season on Sept. 10. For additional information, visit tryonhounds.com.
