Dreaming of thundering hooves tearing across the Kentucky Bluegrass? It’s time to start getting excited for the 2019 Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event. The CCI5*-L competition has just released this year’s provisional schedule, so you can get to the nitty-gritty planning of the Best Weekend All Year.
Much of the fanfare resembles past years, with the inclusion of the second annual $225,000 Kentucky Invitational CSI3* Grand Prix, which will be held after the conclusion of cross country. They sold out last year, so get your tickets now. Reserved seating is $5 with $1 going to the official 2019 charity.
