Saturday's location is in the Walthour-Moss Foundation, more than 4,000 acres of preserved longleaf pine woodlands only a mile from downtown Southern Pines. Hundreds of miles of sandy trails with jumps cross the property, including bridged water crossings. 

Sunday's wonderful grounds are in the midst of North Carolina’s  64,000-acre Sandhills Game Land. The Performance trial grounds are comprised of 9,000 acres of open longleaf pine forest. There is excellent footing with sandy roads and fire lanes throughout the grounds.  This is the native longleaf pine ecosystem with no fencing.  The trial is conducted just like a regular mounted foxhunt with multiple fields, from first flight to hilltopper.
