presented by MARS Equestrian™

April 28-May 1, 2022

The Competition

The Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event presented by MARS Equestrian™ will be held April 28-May 1, 2022, at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, KY. The event draws approximately 80,000 spectators and is seen by millions more on worldwide digital streaming and telecasts including a telecast on NBC in the United States.

The Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event is a thrilling multi-day competition featuring Olympic-level riders and horses in what can best be described as an equestrian triathlon. Horse and rider pairs compete in three phases of the competition – Dressage, Cross-Country and Show Jumping. Two distinct Eventing competitions are held, a CCI5*-L and a CCI4*-S with $25,000 prize money. The Five Star riders compete for their share of $375,000 in prize money as well as a shot at the $350,000 Rolex Grand Slam of Eventing, which is awarded to any rider who wins the Land Rover Kentucky, Badminton and Land Rover Burghley Five Star Events in succession. LRK3DE is the longest-running Five Star event in the Americas and as the United States’ premier event also serves as the Land Rover/USEF CCI-5*-L Eventing National Championship presented by MARS Equestrian™ for U.S. athletes.

The Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event also hosts the $225,000 Kentucky CSI3* Invitational Grand Prix presented by Hagyard Equine Medical Institute on Saturday afternoon, April 30, after the cross-country portion of the LRK3DE. As part of the competition, there will also be a $36,500 Welcome Speed Cup Ranking Class in the Rolex Stadium on Friday afternoon following the day’s LRK3DE dressage competition.
