Virginia
Moss - "Reining" Monarch of the Sandhills Horse Country
As we gather
this spring at Pine Needles to marvel at the reigning women of the
LPGA, their dazzling skill and exquisite finesse, we thought it
only fitting to introduce you to the grand dame of the Sandhills'
other sport -- he sport of the horse. white it's taken for granted
nowadays that this
temperate, sure-footed region is horse country, its evolution as
such can be traced
directly back to the vision and generosity fo one outstanding horsewomen.
Virginia Moss.
If not for Mrs.
Moss, it is entirely possible that this particular horse country
simply might not be. Sure the climate here is great for year-round
riding, and yes the sandy ground is excellent footing for a horse's
hoof, but what good is all of that, if there is nowehre to ride?
If you would
like to read more about the 1800 acres Virginia Moss donated to
ensure that Southern Pines would become horse country pick up the
May/June 2001 issue of Pinehurst Magazine.
