2014 Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event and Kentucky Reining Cup Broadcast Schedule

The Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event is now less than two weeks away. As the only four-star three-day event in the U.S., Rolex attracts top riders from around the globe as well as equestrian fans from across the country. But even if you can’t be at the Kentucky Horse Park next weekend, you don’t have to miss out on the competition.
