Derbyshire CETA Trail Ride

Derbyshire Hosts the Second Annual CETA Trail Ride

On June 16th, Derbyshire hosted 40 CETA members and guests at their Second Annual Derbyshire CETA Trail Ride. CETA members were invited to trailer in or trail ride to the development and enjoy a community brunch. Derbyshire also debuted their updated trail map with additional trails, which are a part of the CETA trail system, extending behind the new Derbyshire Private Farms.

Rhonda Lockhart and Anitra Peterson arrive at the brunch at Derbyshire's Marigold Cottage. 

CETA members enjoyed a post-trail ride brunch, 

which included treats for the horses! 

The horses were able to take in the lake views behind the 

Marigold Cottage while their owners gathered for brunch.

The team here at Derbyshire always enjoys hosting the CETA members and can't wait for next year's trail ride!

A Little More Information About the Trail Systems in the Area

Membership for the Collinsville Equestrian Trail Association (CETA) is open to landowners with CETA trails on their property. The membership consists of over 100 families, and all Derbyshire property owners have the option to become members. For more information, please visit their website.

Derbyshire is also adjacent to the Foothills Equestrian Trail Association (FETA) trails. In order to join FETA, you must live in the area, board your horse in the area, or own property in the area. All Derbyshire property owners would qualify to become members. Their website can be found here.

With membership in both the CETA and FETA trails systems, riders have access to over 165 miles of trails. Many of the homesites in Derbyshire are adjacent to the internal community trail system.

Derbyshire Neighbor - Rockhouse Vineyards

Today I stopped by Rockhouse Vineyards to pick up some bottles of wine for a friend. Rockhouse, one of our favorite neighbors, is located on a 200 acre farm that is only 2 and a half miles from Derbyshire. The eighteen year old vineyard is owned and operated by Lee Griffin and Marsha Cassedy.

It was a little cloudy outside, but the "rock house" which functions as their tasting room and wine-making facility looked just as cute as always.

Derbyshire Neighbor - Green Creek Equestrian Park

Everyone at Derbyshire is very excited because construction has officially started on the new Green Creek Equestrian Park. This facility will be located one mile from the Derbyshire main entrance and will greatly enhance the equestrian community in Tryon. The equestrian park will be owned and operated by the Tryon Riding & Hunt Club which organizes the Blockhouse Steeplechase each year, in addition to many other horse races. The new Green Creek Equestrian Park was featured in a recent article in the Tryon Daily Bulletin which can be found at the link below.

Derbyshire Neighbor - Green Creek Winery

About a half a mile from the Derbyshire main entrance, right across the street from our community if you use the side entrance, is our neighbor, Green Creek Winery. The winery and vineyards are owned by two brothers, Alvin and Marvin Pack, who can be found on the property almost everyday.

Derbyshire - Our Starting Point for this Blog

Derbyshire, the real estate community where I work, is of course the starting point for the creation of this blog. I wanted to be able to share all of the things that I've learned while living and working in the area.

Tryon is such an interesting town with a rich history. This blog will allow me to tell you about all of the awesome restaurants, shops, and events that I've discovered over the past two and a half years.

It's also very fortunate that Derbyshire has some very talented and friendly neighbors who are craftsmen, vintners and artists that are willing to share their time, creations and stories with me so that you can learn a little more about the people who make up our town.

I'll visit the local restaurant and shops, share stories about our neighbors, attend local events, and take some short roadtrips to the surrounding towns so that you can have a true understanding of what life is like in Tryon, NC.
