A Little More Lexington, World Class!

Print Comment



Kentucky's World Class Dressage, Cross Country
and Stadium JumpingGet a little taste of this year's London Olympic Games in Lexington, Kentucky. This year the Rolex Kentucky Three Day Event features a selection of U.S. Eventing team trials for the Olympics.


It all takes place at the beautiful Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington running
April 26 through the 29.
The park is something to see on its own, but add in this event and it is a "don't wanna miss" weekend.
The nation's best horses and riders will be competing hoping to earn a place on the summer Olympic team.

This year's Event also features the 15th Rolex USEF Four Star Championship for the U.S. Equestrian Team Foundation Pinnacle Cup. Horses and riders from around the world will join with those from the U.S. to compete for their share of  the $250,000 in prize money and also a shot at the $350,000 Rolex Grand Slam of Eventing.

This prize is awarded to any rider who wins Rolex Kentucky, Mitsubishi Motors Badminton and Land Rover Burghley Four Star Events in succession.
Former Rolex Kentucky champion William Fox-Pitt of Great Britain, who won his record sixth Burghley championship last fall, will be seeking to win the second leg of the Rolex Grand Slam at Kentucky in the hopes of joining Pippa Funnell of Great Britain, who won it in 2003, as the only rider to win the Rolex Grand Slam.
