Three Day Event Is Back In The Saddle

A long-standing Equine Eventing tradition in central Kentucky is back in play.  In a reversal of an earlier decision, the Kentucky Horse Park will once again play host to the Three-Day Event in late April.

An unprecedented outpouring of public support and a grassroots fundraising effort are credited with providing a way to stage the Land Rover Kentucky Three Day Event April 22nd through the 25th at the Horse Park. 

The announcement comes with a new partnership between Equestrian Events Incorporated and the Kentucky Horse Park Foundation combined with support of U.S. Equestrian and long-standing sponsors Land Rover, Mars Equestrian, and Rolex.  Plans now call for the global equine eventing competition to be held without spectators. 

But, a continued monitoring of the coronavirus pandemic will take place to determine if a limited number of spectators can be permitted with priority given to 2020 rolled over ticket holders.
