Nearly 400 horse-and-rider teams are at the Kentucky Horse Park this weekend for one of the last major outdoor competitions of the year. The U.S. Dressage Finals presented by Adequan runs November 9 through 12 and is the national championship for open and amateur riders competing from Training Level through Grand Prix.

The competition takes place in four different arenas throughout the park. The classes running in the indoor Alltech Arena will be broadcast live online via the USEF Network. The broadcast includes commentary by experts from the sport who will provide some information about each horse’s performance and what the judges will be looking for.
