After last year’s success, the United States Eventing Association (USEA) is excited to announce that The Event College at Rolex Kentucky, presented by USEA’s Professional Horseman’s Council will be returning to the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event this year. The special event is designed to educate the general public on the sport of three-day eventing, and will be taking place Friday, Saturday, and Sunday during the competition.
Anyone can attend The Event College as a "student" and tuition is free!
Each day, the respective professor will meet the enrolled students at specified meeting points identified with The Event College flags, and hold a fifteen-minute discussion on whichever phase of the competition is occurring, pointing out what the horses and riders are trying to achieve in the warm up areas versus the competition field.
Last year’s professors were highly esteemed event professionals Sinead Halpin, Leslie Law, Rick Wallace, Cathy Wieschhoff, Max Corcoran and Karen O’Connor, and this year’s speakers will be just as reputable; look for the schedule announcement soon! Stop by the USEA booth at Rolex to enroll in The Event College and receive a schedule with speaker biographies, meeting points and times.
