Drive 'Fore' the Park: A new way to support Carolina Horse Park

Carolina Horse Park | December 3, 2025

The Carolina Horse Park has long been fueled by a passionate community of riders, supporters, and volunteers who believe in preserving open space, advancing equestrian sport, and protecting the unique character of the North Carolina Sandhills. This year, supporters have a fresh and exciting way to make a difference: Drive ‘Fore’ the Park, a golf fundraiser designed to bring our equestrian and local communities together for a day of camaraderie, competition, and meaningful impact by benefitting Carolina Horse Park Foundation, with additional proceeds to Freedom Reins, Veteran Therapeutic Program at Prancing Horse Center, and Family Promise of Aberdeen, NC

Hosted at the Southern Pines Golf Club, Drive ‘Fore’ the Park is more than a golf event. It is a celebration of the Park’s mission and a chance for every participant to play a direct role in shaping its future. Funds raised through this event support essential improvements across the facility. These improvements include upgrades to footing and arenas, enhanced stabling, ongoing land preservation, safety investments, and the maintenance of the trails and grounds that define the Park’s character.

Participants will enjoy a full day of golf in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Whether you are a seasoned player or stepping onto the course for fun, the event offers a memorable way to connect with fellow supporters who share a love for horses, the Sandhills, and the community that surrounds the Carolina Horse Park. Friendly competition, raffles, and unique touches throughout the day make this event unlike any other.

Sponsorship is a vital part of Drive ‘Fore’ the Park. Businesses, farms, families, and individuals can choose from a variety of sponsorship opportunities that offer visibility and engagement throughout the event. Sponsors receive benefits such as signage, promotional features, on-site recognition, and the chance to align their brand with a mission that resonates deeply across the region. Most importantly, sponsors help ensure that the Park continues to serve as a thriving equestrian hub and a protected green space that benefits the entire Sandhills community.

By supporting Drive ‘Fore’ the Park, sponsors and participants help secure the future of a place that welcomes thousands of horses and riders each year, provides inclusive educational programming, and preserves the land that makes the Sandhills so iconic. Every contribution strengthens the foundation on which CHP was built and supports the next generation of riders who will call this place home.

We invite you to tee up for a great cause, enjoy a wonderful day on the course, and make a lasting impact on the Carolina Horse Park. Your support helps safeguard a remarkable venue and ensures its continued growth for years to come.
