Two-time Olympic team gold medalist Phillip Dutton of Australia will lead the international charge, eager to turn his second-place finish in 1998 into a win this time around. Fellow Olympic veterans Leslie Law and Ian Stark, both of Great Britain, and Stuart Black of Canada will also vie for victory. America’s only Four Star Event, the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event is the premier competition for the sport’s top horses and riders.

In addition to the Olympics and World Championships, held every four years, the only annual Four Star Events in the world are Badminton and Burghley in Great Britain, Adelaide in Australia, and the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event.

The Three-Day Event is a complete test of horse and rider, evolving from the training and use of the military horse. The consecutive days of tests consist of three distinct elements: dressage, cross-country and show jumping. The horse-and-rider combination with the lowest overall penalty score from the three tests is the winner

In addition to being an international equestrian event, the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event has something for everyone - an International Trade Fair with more than 150 merchant and food vendors, Dog Agility competition and a variety of other entertaining attractions.
