So many great memories shared at the Kentucky Three-Day Event! Kara’s is one that has carried into her own riding and knowledge.🏇

The traditional long format of three-day eventing was a true test of endurance. In 2006, the Kentucky Three-Day Event fully transitioned to the short format seen today, removing roads and tracks and steeplechase and leaving dressage, cross-country, and show jumping as the modern structure of the sport.

A big thank you to the KEEP Alliance and the Kentucky Horse Council for the work that made this possible!

🚨ℕ𝕖𝕨𝕤 𝔸𝕝𝕖𝕣𝕥! 🚨
The Kentucky General Assembly has passed SB 73, legislation that includes language addressing stray equines!

This bill language clarifies that county judge executives may work with equine rescue organizations as a legal and practical option for safely removing and placing stray horses. ❤

The KEEP - Kentucky Equine Education Project and the Kentucky Horse Council specifically recognize Representative Mitch Whitaker for his leadership in advancing this issue and for successfully incorporating his original bill into SB 73. They also thanked Senator Phillip Wheeler for his sustained commitment to addressing the challenges posed by stray horses and for supporting this important legislation.
