On Saturday morning 39 horses will leave the start box at the 2023 Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event to tackle Derek di Grazia's cross-country course. The course has an optimum time of 11 minutes and 26 seconds and is 6,520 meters with 28 fences and 49 jumping efforts at 570 mpm, so the horses and riders will need to be fit as they take on the highest level of the sport.
The USEA took a walk around the cross-country course to provide a full fence-by-fence preview.
Be sure to check out the course with video commentary of select combinations on the CrossCountry Course App as well!
