This weekend, I traveled to the Rolex Three-Day Event in Lexington, Ky. It was my first trip to Lexington, and it was a beautiful place with horses everywhere. The event itself was really cool. The Rolex competition is the only “four-star” event in the United States, and is part of the Grand Slam of eventing, which is similar to the Triple Crown where winning three premier events earns a larger prize.

Each three-day event, features three challenges: dressage (ballet on horseback), the cross-country course that features a long-distance ride with solid jumps, and the jumping event. Here are a few pictures from the cross-country course.
