A large sawhorse remains in place for Tryon’s beloved mascot months after Morris the Horse was “kidnapped” by fundraisers to be restored. Save Morris campaign chair Patti D’Arbanville said builders Chip O’Brien and Johnny Hipp are working diligently to return the horse to its home in the center of town. “Doing good work takes a long time,” D’Arbanville said. “Everybody wants to return Morris and return him in the best shape.

I’ve been assured that he will return soon,” Martin said.
