Emergency Stabling Offered in Pinehurst
The Moore County Equine Emergency Response Unit (MCEERU) has arranged for temporary emergency stabling for horses who need to be evacuated because of an approaching hurricane at the Pinehurst Harness Track.
If you must evacuate there is no need to leave your horses behind to ride out the storm. When a storm approaches, call to reserve stall(s) so we know you are coming. Bring your own feed, bedding, and buckets. Bedding and hay will be available for sale on the grounds. You will be responsible to care for your own horse(s). There is no charge for the stalls, but any donation to the MCEERU would be appreciated. Camping is not permitted on the grounds, but there are many area motels close by.
ALL HORSES MUST HAVE A CURRENT NEGATIVE EIA CERTIFICATE (COGGINS). Horses will not be allowed on the grounds without proof of negative EIA. Call 910/215-9536 or 910/947-6858 to reserve a stall. (This contact is only for emergency stabling reservations and information)
