It is with deep regret that the USEA announces the passing of Andrea Leatherman's 7-year-old Thoroughbred mare, Neveah, after a fall at the Ocala Horse Trials today. We send our greatest condolences to Andrea and all of Neveah's connections.
"Horse No. 27, Neveah, fell at Obstacle No. 4 on the Intermediate Cross-Country Course.. The obstacle was a Tabled Oxer. Neveah caught both front legs on the front of the oxer and rotated over the jump. It landed with its head and neck on Andrea Leatherman. Sadly, Neveah expired shortly after landing. Andrea suffered a concussion and undetermined other injuries. She regained consciousness and was speaking clearly. She was transported to Ocala Regional Hospital for examination. Equiventures and the Florida Horse Park extend our deepest sympathies to Andrea and her crew." - Malcolm Hook, Technical Delegate
“It's day 1, so I'm not getting too excited yet. There's a long, long way to go in this competition,” said Phillip Dutton after his dressage test aboard Denim in the Cosequin CCI4*-S leaving the pair in the overnight lead upon the conclusion of the first day of dressage at the 2025 Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event.
Are you following along with the action from home this weekend? Or maybe you're competing at an event and need information fast. Either way, we’ve got you covered!
And they're off! The first official day of competition at the 2025 Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event (K3DE) begins today and we have a schedule jam-packed with dressage for both the four- and five-star fields.
The CCI5*-L field was narrowed by one this afternoon following the first horse inspection on High Hope Inspection Lane at the 2025 Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event. Horse and rider pairs were looking their best, with a few horses demonstrating their readiness for the upcoming competition through their flamboyant behavior (we're looking at you Bronte Beach Z and Dyri).
