Eventing barns/Training Near Winston Salem NC

[JP60]

I am exploring the possibility of making a life move for a job and the company is located in Advance, NC, just west of Winston Salem.

Doing some prep work I see there are boarding barns around, mainly Hunter/Dressage. I am asking anyone familiar with the area:

Are the boarding/training barns oriented towards Eventing
if not
What would be a good boarding barn (affordable and good)
and
Is there an Eventing Trainer in the area I could trailer too. I’ve been trailering 1 hour each weekend for many years so it does not matter.

It is a hard choice for I love my small farm, I love my current trainer and Greenville puts me in the middle of some great venues north and south. Its just that I had some recent personal changes and maybe looking to make an even bigger change.

I look forward to any thoughts and input, public or PM.

Thanks.

Edit:

Forgot to add that were I to make such a move, my hope would to eventually get a small farm again, but would consider one off the bat if something was in my range and available.

These are 2 that I know of. 40-50 minutes away according to google maps

Kathi Hines (sheasmom) is the closest, for sure. She does (or used to do?) a lot of Pony Club.

Thanks everyone for the response. I did check out the suggestions on line and feel good that if I were needing to move, I have options. Really appreciate the help.
