Today’s the day, the one we wait for all year! It’s the best day of the Best Weekend All Year: cross country day at the 2024 Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event. As always, I like to wish everyone speedy and safe rides. May you attack the course with the gusto of Chris Hemsworth’s daughter and her tiny pony.
