See the fences Yasmin Ingham and Tom McEwen will jump at Kentucky five-star this week
The Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event cross-country course for 2024 features 27 numbered fences on the five-star track, with an optimum time of 11 minutes 15 seconds.
The start and finish are in the same area as previously, but the route has been rearranged slightly, creating a different feel, particularly in the early and late parts of Derek di Grazia’s track.
