Tryon International Equestrian Center & Resort

Tryon International Equestrian Center & Resort (TIEC) is the ultimate destination for all who love horses, outdoor living, and an active lifestyle. The 1,600-acre resort is conveniently located within an hour of Charlotte and Asheville and boasts expansive views of the Western North Carolina mountains to the west and bucolic foothills to the east. Building on a local legacy of equestrian heritage almost a century old, TIEC hosts more than 40 weeks of multi-discipline equestrian competition annually and has welcomed riders from all 50 states and 68 countries. With fun for the whole family, guests can enjoy a variety of onsite lodging, eight restaurants, golf and gun club, spa, and a collection of boutiques and specialty shops. While horses are the core, the resort hosts non-equestrian events such as the three-day Night in the Country Carolinas Music Festival, Saturday Night Lights, the Carolina Pumpkin Spelltacular, Winterfest, and the inaugural Earl Scruggs Music Festival.
