We are just over a week away from the 2023 Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event presented by MARS Equestrian and it’s time for one one of our favorite lead-up moments: we finally get a course preview!
Join course designer Derek di Grazia and technical delegate Philip Surl for a ‘lil walkabout and get a peek at some of the biggest parts of the five-star course and key complexes including:
- The MARS Sustainability Bay (4ABC)
- The Park Question (6ABC), which comes early in the course and is jumped the opposite direction from last year.
- The Equestrian Events Trifecta (8ABC), a new combination this year consisting of a massive triple bar, table, and corner.
- Pete’s Hollow (12ABC), which this year features three massive fallen logs.
- The Defender Head of the Lake (16, 17, 18), where riders will drop in over a log on the left side of the lake this year, and on the way out they jump up over the bank in the middle and over a corner tucked beside a tree.
One big question remains, however: where on the course is that corgi jump?!
