64th TRHC Blockhouse Steeplechase
The Steeplechase is this area's biggest and most exciting equestrian event of the year. Join the crowds that come for the thundering of hooves as they navigate a challenging course over several races.
There is lots to see as contestants for best tailgate show off their best country, most unusual and most elegant. The hats always turn heads with contestants vying for the funniest (adults) and the most unusual and most appropriate for adults and kids.
Bring family, meet friends and discover the thrill of the chase. Come and spend the weekend - check out our Steeplechase packages, which are being added daily.
The Blockhouse Steeplechase Race is sponsored by Tryon Riding and Hunt Club (TRHC), which is a non-profit (501c3) organization that was founded in 1925 for the purpose of supporting and preserving the equestrian tradition in Polk County and Upstate South Carolina. Tickets are by the carload and by advance purchase.
