Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event & $225000 Invitational Grand 2019 Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event, April 25-28, 2019 Equestrian Events, Inc. (EEI) is a non-profit Kentucky corporation formed in 1975 initially to stage the 1978 World Three-Day Event Championships at the brand new Kentucky Horse Park. The 1978 World Three-Day Event Championships, held for the first time in the United States, were an unprecedented success. Individual World Champion Bruce Davidson of Pennsylvania retained the world title and the popular team of riders and horses from Canada were the winners of the Team Gold Medal. Shortly after the conclusion of the World Championships, the American Horse Shows Association asked EEI to host the first major three-day event, setting the wheels in motion for the 1979 Kentucky Horse Trials and similar events thereafter. Today, the Kentucky Three-Day Event is the only CCI4* Eventing competition in the Western Hemisphere and one of six 4* Eventing competitions in the world. Furthermore, the Kentucky Three-Day Event is one of three Eventing competitions included in the Rolex Grand Slam of Eventing series. In order to win the Rolex Grand Slam of Eventing, the athlete must consecutively win the Kentucky Three-Day Event, Badminton Horse Trials and Burghley Horse Trials. To date, only two equestrian athletes have accomplished this great feat. th 2019 will mark Land Rover’s 9 year as a sponsor of the 2018 Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event Champions, event and their second year as title sponsor of the Oliver Townend (GBR) and Cooley Master Class Kentucky Three-Day Event. National Coverage The Kentucky Three-Day Event was first shown on NBC television May 9, 2004, a first for an Eventing competition in the U.S. outside of an Olympic Games. The ratings for this program were much greater than NBC expected, so much so that the network agreed to air the competition program for another two years. 2018 was NBC’s 14th year airing the Kentucky Three-Day Event program and continues to receive top ratings. Below are the NBC broadcast ratings for the 2018 Kentucky Three-Day Event program. 60-minute program with one airing post event The 60-minute program aired on Sunday, May 6th, the day after the 2018 Kentucky Derby NBC traditionally hires Kenny Rice, Donna Brothers and Melanie Smith Taylor for on-air talent and coverage The program was the 2nd highest viewed sporting program show on NBC for the day Over the 60 minute program, 705,000 P2+ viewers tuned into to watch the event coverage From year to year, the Kentucky Three-Day Event program has been the U.S. Network TV’s highest rated equestrian (non-horse racing) program Famous Eventing Competitors at Kentucky Michael Jung (GER): Jung won the Kentucky Three- Day Event in 2015, 2016, and 2017 making him the first competitor to ever consecutively win three times. Additionally, Jung holds the first ranked position on the FEI World Eventing Athlete list as well as competed and won the Individual Gold Medal at the 2016 and the 2012 Summer Olympics. Phillip Dutton (USA): Dutton has competed annually at Kentucky for the past several years. His most recent and notable accomplishment is winning the Individual Bronze Medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics. In addition, Dutton was a member of the United States Eventing Team at the 1996 and the 2000 Summer Olympics, in which the United States won the Team Gold Medal both times. Dutton is currently ranked third on the FEI World Eventing Athlete list. William Fox-Pitt (UK): Fox-Pitt, a remarkable Olympic-level Eventer from Great Britain, is one of the most distinguished athletes to compete at Kentucky. Fox-Pitt has impressively won Kentucky three times; once in 2010, in 2012 and again in 2014. Formerly ranked first (2014) on the FEI World Eventing Athlete list, Fox-Pitt has represented his country on multiple world championship and Olympic teams.

  • February 2020 Update from U.S. Eventing Performance Director Erik Duvander
    February 2020 Update from U.S. Eventing Performance Director Erik Duvander The Olympic year of 2020 has now arrived and our team is firstly working towards our remaining selection trials – Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event CCI5*-L, Badminton Horse Trials CCI5*-L and Jersey Fresh International Three-Day Event CCI4*-L – and our preparation is well on its way. I arrived in the U.S. in the first week of January to travel around to our athletes to work with them and go through their submitted Individual Performance Plan (IPP). I am very pleased to see how well all the horses have come out of the previous season, and after a break they are all looking stronger and more mature. The athletes are very focused and working on the areas of improvement as outlined in their IPP. We have 13 athletes and 15 horses on our Elite and Pre-Elite training list, but I have also worked with a few athletes outside this list who are also Olympic possibilities. It is a very open book as to who will go to Tokyo, so it is up to the athletes to make sure they use every available day to make their improvements and put on the best performance at the selection trials. In mid-January, Tamie Smith, Frankie Thieriot Stutes and I went to Coachella Valley, California to put on an exhibition for our team sponsor, Land Rover, at their 4xFAR Festival. Land Rover turned the launch of their new vehicles into a two-day experiential event with live music and 35 daily hosted events and workshops.

  • Literature Review
    An Analysis of Conformation and Performance Variables in Potential Three Day Event Horses in Ireland Name Soraya Morscher Supervisor Professor Sean Arkins Submitted in part fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the Masters of Science (Equine Science) at the University of Limerick, October 2010 Abstract Eventing is the ultimate test of speed, endurance, obedience and athleticism and the importance of such qualities in horses date back to cavalry times where such attributes were deciding factors in wars. The Irish Sport Horse is the leading studbook for eventing for the last 15 years (WBFSH, 2009). In order to keep the Irish Sport Horse at the top of this sport, talented animals have to be identified early. To identify elite horses early, studbooks all over the world employ conformation assessment as an indicator for pre-selection and suitability. Since the new format of eventing was introduced, opinions on what type of horse is suitable for the sport are divided. Currently in Ireland, selection of young event horses is not carried out by any of the studbooks. The Future Event Horse League (FEHL) offers owners of potential event horses a competition to test their abilities. The league is run in a different format to eventing, and as part of the competitions, judges score the potential of the horse for this particular sport. One objective of this study was to analyse selection methods for young event horses in Ireland. Data from competitions of FEHL were analysed in order to evaluate conformation and suitability of the horses that took part and the consistency of the judges scoring.

In front of packed passionate crowds, an eight rider jump off had spectators on the edge of their seats right until the final fence as last combination to go, Marcus and Pret a Tout, galloped the course in a stunning display of skill and speed. KSA’s Abdullah Al Sharbatly was the Grand Prix Silver Medallist. To the delight of the home crowd, who packed the grandstands to watch the action unfold and cheered passionately throughout the competition, local rider Eduardo Alaverz Aznar (ESP) took home the bronze medal. Marcus Ehning, LGCT Grand Prix of Madrid Gold Medallist: “I’m very happy to win here today. For me it’s one of the nicest Globals that we have - it’s a fantastic atmosphere with unbelievable conditions here. Two years ago I came very close, but now I’m happy to win here in Madrid, it’s a traditional show. I’ve had my horse just since January - I knew he was a good horse, but I didn’t expect him to be that good or that quick. I was very close in Hamburg to win the Global. In the jump off I saw Sharbatly, and I saw that he really put us under pressure, but in the end my horse showed all the experience and all his quality and I’m really happy to win today.

    April 26-29, 2018 $225,000 INVITATIONAL GRAND PRIX April 28, 2018 1 2 2018 Kentucky Three-Day Event Equestrian Events, Inc. (EEI) is a non-profit Kentucky corporation formed in 1975 initially to stage the 1978 World Three-Day Event Championships at the brand new Kentucky Horse Park. The 1978 World Three-Day Event Championships, held for the first time in the United States, were an unprecedented success. Individual World Champion Bruce Davidson of Pennsylvania retained the world title and the popular team of riders and horses from Canada were the winners of the Team Gold Medal. Shortly after the conclusion of the World Championships, the American Horse Shows Association asked EEI to host the first major three- day event, setting the wheels in motion for the 1979 Kentucky Horse Trials and similar events thereafter. Today, the Kentucky Three-Day Event is the only CCI4* Eventing competition in the Western Hemisphere and one of six 4* Eventing competitions in the world. Furthermore, the Kentucky Three-Day Event is one of three Eventing competitions included in the Rolex Grand Slam of Eventing series. In order to win the Rolex Grand Slam of Eventing, the athlete must consecutively win the Kentucky Three-Day Event, Badminton Horse Trials and Burghley Horse Trials. To date, only two equestrian athletes have accomplished this great feat. 2017 Kentucky Three-Day Event Champion, Michael Jung and Fischerroncana FST of Germany. Jung and Fischerroncana FST also won the 2015 and the 2016 Kentucky Three-Day Event making them the second pair in event history to consecutively win the Kentucky Three-Day Event three times in a row.
