It’s the day eventers wait for all year – whether as a rider or a spectator – there is nothing quite like cross-country day at the Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event. Here is what you need to know to follow along with the full day of cross-country action:

There will be 41 pairs competing today with the first horse and rider leaving the start box at 10:30 a.m.

Riders will be sent out at five-minute intervals with no lunch break, so the final rider will leave the box at 1:50 p.m.

The course is 6,542 meters long with a speed of 570 mpm and an optimum time of 11 minutes 20 seconds.

There are 28 numbered jumps with 52 separate elements.

Derek di Grazia is the cross-country course designer for the eighth year.
