It was a scorcher at the Kentucky Horse Park’s Champagne Run H.T. over the weekend — I’m sure I’m not the only rider who found their way to the campground pool!
Starter through Intermediate level divisions ran from Friday through Sunday, and as usual the event ran like a well-oiled machine. You can check out final scores here.
