Last week, Hurricane Florence quickly grabbed the headlines from a major sporting event happening right here in Western North Carolina. The World Equestrian Games kicked off just as the storm was moving towards the coast. After a short delay earlier this week, the spotlight is once again shining on the Tryon Equestrian Center.
