In 1923, one of Blowing Rock’s most beloved traditions began as a small tournament on the hill behind Green Park Inn. A century later, the Blowing Rock Charity Horse Show has transformed into a monumental event on a beautiful preserve that draws equestrians from across the country due to its reputation for being an exceptionally “fun” show for participants and spectators alike. A Hundred Years of Horses commemorates this growth and success through stories and objects illuminating the history of BRCHS.
