The two new Dover Saddlery locations at Tryon Resort join Dover’s collection of 31 retail locations nationwide. The main Dover Saddlery shop is now in the former Tryon Tack I building and features Dover’s collection of tack, apparel, footwear, horse clothing, and horse health related retail merchandise. The former Tryon Tack II building now houses Dover Saddlery Barn & Stable where customers can find a plethora of every day needs for show or schooling. For added convenience, everything that is in Dover Saddlery Barn & Stable is also available in the main Dover Saddlery location.
