So: What happened in 2025?

in a word: Helene. The camping field got stricken with about 6 inches of silt. In late October, it was planted with winter wheat to stabilize it. The crop is doing fine, but the ground is not stable enough for trailers until a degree of ‘turf’ is in place. Biltmore Equestrian Center planted fescue in early March; then crabgrass in late May; and will plant more fescue in mid-August. By September, we anticipate a degree of turf will make the campground and trot out area adequately stable.

Incidentally, for those of you who have been here before, the water from the French Broad River reached up to the roof of the ‘event barn’ and ripped it off, and left a tree that had floated down river on top. All fencing along the River was stripped away. Trailers that were ‘up’ by the event tent (thought to be above the 100 year flood level) were washed down River and overturned in various drainages or swept to Tennessee. The outdoor arena (night lights and night time trot outs) was destroyed. Much basic clean up has been done, but the re-building is going to take awhile.

May 1 and 2, 2026: Biltmore Challenge Endurance Ride

Friday, May 1, 2026: 25, 50 mile rides
Saturday, May 2 2026: 30, 55, 75, 100 mile rides

The 75 mile ride will also offer FEI 2* and 2*YJ divisions; the 100 mile ride will also offer FEI 3*. These FEI divisions are the only ones with any jurisdiction from USEF (United States Equestrian Federation). None of the other rides / distances have any association with USEF.

Come early, camp opens Wednesay April 28!
