The 78th Any and All Dog Show will take place at the Green Creek Equestrian Park on Saturday, Oct, 8 from 2 – 5 p.m.
All entry fees are donated to the Foothills Humane Society, which will be on hand for the event.
Dogs of all shapes and sizes are invited to come out and put their best paw forward for this non-serious event. There will be a BBQ dinner at the park Saturday evening, with proceeds to benefit the new park.
The Tryon Riding and Hunt Club will present the second annual “A Day in the Country” on Sunday, Oct. 9 at the Green Creek Equestrian Park.
Last year’s event was a laid-back day of classes set on an outside course, harking back to Tryon’s equestrian roots.
This year will be much the same. The event provides a chance to enjoy a picnic lunch while watching the competition and get a preview of the new park.
In addition to the open jumping classes in the morning, there will also be an Open Pleasure flat class, sponsored by Lillie Brown, for horses and ponies of any breed, type, or discipline.
The Ride-a-Buck class, last year’s most entertaining class of the day, will also return. New to the 2011 event is a Hunter Pairs Class in which a pair of riders, representing a local equestrian organization or community non-profit, will complete a jumping course together.
The winning pair will earn $500, donated by Camp Wayfarer, for their group.
