The 2023 Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event saw its first round of competition early Thursday morning with Cosequin® Lexington CCI4*-S dressage. Twenty-four horse-and-rider combinations tested inside the Rolex Arena at the Kentucky Horse Park. Liz Halliday-Sharp came out on top aboard Cooley Nutcracker. Tamie Smith and Solaguayre California hold the second spot going into day two of dressage. They are followed up by Colleen Loach and Vermont in third.
