Fence by fence: pictures of every jump on this year’s Kentucky cross-country course


  • Can’t wait to see the Kentucky cross-country course 2021? Here it is! Every fence on the cross-country track for the 2021 running of the Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event, which kicks off tomorrow (22 April) with two days of dressage.

    The cross-country, over a course designed by Derek di Grazia, takes place on Saturday, with Sunday’s showjumping rounding off the event.

    The cross-country course is 6270m long and the optimum time will be 11 minutes.

    Our pictures were taken on Wednesday after it had snowed overnight and the Kentucky team had covered the flowers and fence dressing to protect them from the cold. These coverings will be removed before the horses and riders take on the course.
