LAND ROVER KY 3-Day Event

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the 1978 World Three-Day Event Championships at the Kentucky Horse Park, which developed into the long-standing annual Kentucky Three-Day Event, one of the world’s most prestigious — and popular equestrian events.

“The Land Rover Kentucky-Three Day event is a sell-out weekend for Lexington’s hospitality community! It’s always a great pleasure to welcome riders and fans from across the globe to the Kentucky Horse Park every April,” said Mary Quinn Ramer, president of Visit Lex. “Our hotels, restaurants, and shops all appreciate the business generated during the three-day event and have come to know the fans and competitors as friends over the years. Without question, the Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event is one of the signature events in Lexington each year.”

The U.S. Mounted Games

The United States Mounted Games Association was formed to inspire, encourage interest, and increase participation in Mounted Games in the United States. Our mission is to increase the number of riders involved in Mounted Games, improve the quality and number of our United States competitions, and enhance the image of equestrian games as a spectator sport. USMGA aims to provide a niche in equine sports by making Mounted Games, a relatively inexpensive horse sport, available to the general public for the advancement and understanding of the equine industry.
