Kentucky Three-Day Event

The Kentucky Three-Day Event is a prestigious equestrian competition held annually in Lexington, Kentucky. It tests the versatility, endurance, and skill of both horse and rider over three days through three phases: dressage (performing precise movements), cross-country (navigating challenging outdoor courses), and show jumping (completing a jumping course without faults). Participants range from top international riders to amateurs, and the event is a key part of the equestrian world, showcasing athleticism, training, and partnership between horse and rider. It also serves as a qualifier for the Olympics and other international competitions.
