There are a few things you shouldn’t forget when packing for the Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event: your tickets, comfortable walking shoes, rain gear (just in case!), and your wallet! With one of the largest vendor fairs at any equine event in the country, there are ample shopping opportunities all across the Kentucky Horse Park this week—including the USEA booth! Located just behind the Rolex Stadium, you can easily pop in before you make your way to watch dressage or show jumping, or hit the booth on your way back up from the cross-country track.
One of the most exciting new additions to our apparel offerings this year are the new Ariat Eventing USA softshell jackets for both men and women! The women’s jacket sports team U.S.A. colors and features Ariat’s AriatTEK® fabric for wind and water resistance while still maintaining breathability. The men’s version comes in this striking charcoal color and, in addition to the zippered pockets, features a zippered chest pocket as well—perfect for stashing away that extra LRK3DE shopping money in!
As we all know, the weather in Kentucky can be a bit up and down in April, so if you find yourself needing to change up your wardrobe options this week, check out the selection of long and short-sleeve polos available at our booth.
Vests are a great option for a little extra layering without getting too warm, and this quilted vest by Kerrits is just as sharp as it is comfortable!
The Ariat men’s team logo quarter-zip sweatshirt is a great layering piece for the cooler days with its soft, brushed fleece interior.
And of course, our booth will be fully stocked with ball caps, stickers, lanyards, keychains, and other awesome USEA accessories to help you represent your U.S. eventing pride!
All items will be exclusively sold in the tent during the competition. Watching the livestream from home? Don't worry, all items will then be made available for purchase online after the event at shopusea.com.

After not running in 2020 and 2021, the MARS Bromont CCI Three-Day Event returned to the Bromont Olympic Equestrian Center in Quebec, Canada, in 2022. America's Jennie Saville (née Brannigan) and Twilightslastgleam won the CCI4*-L, as the chestnut Thoroughbred gelding (National Anthem x Royal Child) bred and owned by Nina Gardner moved up from eighth after dressage into the lead after cross-country with the fastest round on wet ground over the tracks designed by Derek di Grazia. Canada's Lindsay Traisnel and Bacyrouge, a bay Selle Français gelding (Mylord Carthago x Lelia) owned by Patricia Pearce, finished second, and they are among four from the top-10 in the CCI4*-L in 2022 that return in 2023.
Hannah Sue Hollberg of Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, was on a winning streak at the Essex Horse Trials on Sunday, claiming victory in both the $10,000 Open Intermediate and Open Preliminary divisions with two horses that are fairly new to her. Some difficulty on cross-country did not stop her mount Hachi from claiming victory in the Open Intermediate with a score of 101.6, while Open Preliminary partner Rockster finished on his dressage score of 27.3.
The great football coach Vince Lombardi said, “We win our games in practice.” With the goal of having the most effective practices possible for horses, their riders, and their coaches, Cathy Wieschhoff explains some signs that can indicate when horse and rider should repeat an exercise, switch it up, or be done with that activity. Wieschhoff brings perspective as a five-star rider that has competed at the Kentucky Three-Day Event and Burghley Horse Trials, a USEF “R” Course Designer for eventing cross-country and show jumping, a former Area VIII chair and member of the USEA Board of Governors, and a Level V USEA ECP Certified Coach based out of Carriage Station Farm in Lexington, Kentucky.
