HUNTER-JUMPER BARN ON CONSERVATION LAND

Otter Creek Farm is a hunter-jumper show barn situated in a tranquil 40-acre parcel of land, within a 250-acre conservation that borders Otter Creek and the Tar River in eastern North Carolina. The farm offers easy access from Greenville, Rocky Mount, and New Bern, and is just a short drive from East Carolina University. Our location is an hour east of Raleigh, with easy access to both Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) and Pitt-Greenville Airport (PGV). Surrounded by mature woodlands and serene pastures, the property provides a peaceful, natural environment for both horses and riders.

The facility itself is meticulously designed to meet the needs of top-level equestrian training and competition. The 12-stall barn is spacious and well-ventilated, providing comfort and safety for horses. The grounds feature expansive pastures, including six large four-board fenced pastures with individual isles for safe horse movement. The farm also boasts a 250x300-foot riding ring, a small round pen, and an intricate network of bridle paths that wind through the property, offering a diverse training landscape. With a full-time staff that lives on the premises, Otter Creek Farm ensures that every horse receives the highest level of care and attention.
