About the Waredaca Classic Three-Day Event
Held at Waredaca Farm in Laytonsville, MD, this ‘one of a kind’ competition is in its 12th year at the beautiful family farm and eventing facility in the heart of Maryland's horse country. A special treat this year will be the return of the very popular international eventing rider Eric Smiley as lead clinician. He is scheduled to assist competitors during the entire event AND offer many educational opportunities for those non-participants who volunteer and are interested in the Classic format. All seminars, course walks, and talks are open to all entered riders, grooms, support crew, volunteers and so on. We are again partnering this year with the Area 2 Young Rider Advancement Program- (YRAP) expertly managed by Chris Donovan. YRAP interest in the Three-Day has grown over the past few years, providing YRAP members invaluable horsemanship experience that this type of competition requires, making the YRAP partnership an excellent fit!
Ema Klugman completed a fairy tale story in 2021 at the Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event when she made her five-star debut with the Thoroughbred/Saddlebred Bendigo, who she came up the levels with from Pony Club to Advanced. As Ben was heading into the later years of his career with Klugman, she purchased Bronte Beach, a Zangersheide mare (Verdi TN x Dalphine), in 2017 as a 5-year-old to follow in his footsteps.
The 2024 Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event is truly an eventing lover’s paradise with four full days of competition, vendors galore, opportunities to meet some of the sport’s greatest riders face-to-face, and so much more.
