With that being said, the Kentucky CSI3* Invitational Grand Prix presented by Hagyard Equine Medical Institute is still being explored. Officials suggest that while it is not yet official, there could still be competition at the Kentucky Horse Park. In addition to the Three Star Event, other events could still be held during this weekend in Lexington, KY, without spectators however.

“We have been working with US Equestrian, the Kentucky Horse Park, and state and local government on several different scenarios for April,” says the President of Equestrian Events, Mike Cooper. “With so many uncertainties still remaining regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, it is premature for US Equestrian to remove its restrictions on spectators. Given the importance of the health and well-being of our spectators and competitors, we feel the only option at this time is to cancel the Five Star Event and hopefully proceed with other events that our fans can enjoy via livestream and other outlets.”
