Exciting news to start off the day as Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event, presented by MARS Equestrian, has announced the drawn order for both the CCI5* and the Cosequin Lexington CCI4*-S happening at Kentucky Horse Park April 25-28.
Riders with multiple horses are selected first to give them space between rides, particularly on cross country day, which means we’ll see former winner Phillip Dutton leading the way, drawn first to go with Ann Lapides, Ann Jones, Caroline Moran, and Neill Sites’ Denim. He will also close out the roster as the final rider to see with Caroline Moran, Anne Moran, and Michael Moran’s Azure.
