Crowdfunding to save 2021 Kentucky five-star as riders and fans raise questions

Crowdfunding is under way in a last-minute attempt to allow the five-star at the Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event to run in 2021 after the event’s cancellation was announced on Tuesday this week (2 February).

Organisers say they need to raise $750,000 (approx £550,000) by 11.59pm on Sunday, 7 February for the top-level class to go ahead on 22-25 April.

“While not covering all expenses, these funds will provide EEI [Equestrian Events, Inc, the event’s organisers] with enough resources to begin making plans for the CCI5* at the ‘Best Weekend All Year!’,” states the crowdfunding page.
