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!

Through the Lens: 2024 USEA Intercollegiate & Interscholastic Eventing Championships

The "happiest horse trial on Earth," the USEA Intercollegiate Eventing Championship, got a whole lot happier this year with the inclusion of the inaugural USEA Interscholastic Eventing Championship. Just shy of 200 entries competed at the 2024 joint championships which took place from May 4-5 at Stable View in Aiken, South Carolina. There were pom poms and banners and glitter galore, but team spirit was of the greatest abundance as young riders from the 5th grade through college gathered together to share their pride for their team.
