The spring 5* season is rapidly approaching, and we’ve got our first look at entries for the 2023 Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event, presented by MARS Equestrian! Entries opened on February 28 and will close this week on March 28, so we can still expect a few more entries for both the 5* as well as the Lexington 4*-S, presented by Cosequin, in the coming days.
You can keep an eye on the LRK3DE website for further updates, as lists continue to change, as well as a provisional schedule. As of now, we know that 2022 Kentucky champion Michael Jung will not be traveling to defend his title this year, but keep an eye out for a few international entries hopping on a plane in just a few weeks’ time!
Tickets are still on sale for the #BestWeekendAllYear, which will take place April 27-30 at Kentucky Horse Park.
