Hospitality Tents at the Kentucky Three-Day Event

While grounds admission and stadium seats are popular ways to see the show, that is only the start of our options. Hospitality tents at the Kentucky Three-Day Event can offer an enhanced experience. Depending on which hospitality option you choose, there are a variety of benefits and varied experiences to be had. Let’s talk about hospitality options at LRK3DE to better understand what may make sense for you when you come to the show!

 

The Kentucky Club

Our Cross-Country day hospitality club is an excellent way to enjoy Saturday’s competition without having to worry about the weather, what to bring to the tailgate, or where the best spots are.

 

A spectacular hospitality tent with outstanding views of the Cross-Country course, it’s also a great location with access to the rest of the course should you choose to go for a walk and see all the jumps. No need to worry about rain – the Kentucky Club has you covered, literally, including two 50-inch closed circuit monitors showing the Cross-Country action so you don’t have to leave your seat. What about food and beverages? We’ve got that too with a lunch buffet, bar and beverage service, and an outdoor fenced-in patio area so you can enjoy the sun when it’s shining.

 

Tickets for the Kentucky Club are $265 for those under 21 and $315 for 21 and over. Children under the age of 2 get in free with a paid adult.  Hurry though, these advanced pricing options are only good through March 3, 2023!


The Lakeside Club


Looking for more than just a one-day hospitality option?

 

The Lakeside Club offers incredible viewing of the competition.

The Lakeside Club heightens your Kentucky Three-Day experience with comfortable, relaxed viewing from a private ringside tent with incredible views of Dressage and Stadium Jumping. Daily lunch buffet, bar and beverage service, and closed-circuit monitors showing all the Kentucky Three-Day Event action are just a few of the perks. You also receive preferred parking, an event program, access to the International Trade Fair, Sponsor Village, and the Kentucky Horse Park.

 

Choose from 3-day tickets for access Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, or 4-day tickets to add Thursday as well.

 

Want more options? Add access to the Kentucky Club for Saturday if you prefer to be out on the course. Stay in the ringside tent for the Grand Prix Friday and Saturday nights with a $150 upgrade and experience food & beverage service after the main event’s competition concludes each evening.


The Lexington Club (new for 2023)

Our newest hospitality option brings you more great ringside seating plus on-course action for Saturday! Tickets to this hospitality tent cover Thursday, Friday, and Sunday at the stadium. On Saturday you will enjoy cross country with a special Lexington Club Member’s Only area located within the Kentucky Club. With the same great options on Saturday as the rest of the Kentucky Club, but in a private section for even more stellar service, it’s a wonderful option for the weekend-long hospitality experience.

 

Lexington Club tickets include admission for all four days of the event, preferred parking, and a ringside private hospitality tent that includes closed-circuit monitors showing all the action. You’ll have seating right alongside the arena with both indoor and outdoor options so you can soak in that warm Kentucky sunshine but stay out of the rain. You also have daily food and beverage service, afternoon snacks, an official event program, personalized name badge, and a Kentucky Three-Day Event logo gift to commemorate the experience.

 

It all sounds delightful, doesn’t it? We think so, and it would seem people agree as there’s just a handful of tickets left to this new, exclusive experience so we highly recommend you order your Lexington Club tickets now as they will sell out!

 

The Five Star Club (sold out for 2023)

The most exclusive way to enjoy the experience of the Kentucky Three-Day Event is without a doubt, the Five Star Club. With admission to the grounds from Thursday through Sunday, premiere parking with golf cart service from the lot to the Five Star tent, and the largest and most luxurious hospitality tent on the show grounds we understand how this already sold out! Don’t dismay – sometimes reserved tickets unexpectedly become available and should that happen, we do open them up for sale. The best way to stay in-the-know is to sign up for our email newsletter as that is where we would alert people should any Five Star tickets become available.

 

The Five Star Club offers both indoor and outdoor private seating alongside the ring with premium views of the competition. There are multiple closed-circuit monitors throughout the Five Star Club tent covering all of the action all weekend long, and daily gourmet food service, appetizers, concierge service, and bar and beverage service that includes specialty cocktails and champagne! We also include a personalized name badge, exclusive Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event commemorative gift along with the official event program, a relaxation lounge area, and even access to the on-course Kentucky Horse Park Foundation Cross-Country Hospitality Tent on Saturday – wow! Of course you can also stay in the Five Star Tent Friday and Saturday evenings for the Grand Prix for a small upgrade to complete your exclusive experience.

 

With so many options to attend the Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event, it can be difficult to decide. Remember, advanced ticket pricing is still available but only through March 3.

Mia Farley is quickly making a name for herself in the top levels of eventing, and the Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event presented by MARS™ Equestrian has played a key role in her journey. With grit, determination, and undeniable talent, she’s proven she has what it takes to compete among the best. Farley made her K3DE debut in 2023 aboard BGS Firecracker and showcased her skill in the Cosequin Lexington CCI4*-S. Back in 2024, Mia entered the Kentucky Horse Park with Phelps, where she impressed with a strong, double-clear performance in her second CCI5*-L and a top-15 finish. Phelps, an 11-year-old Thoroughbred gelding, owned by Olympic gold medalist David O'Connor, was originally acquired for just $1 after a brief racing career. Phelps has defied expectations, progressing through the levels under Farley’s guidance. Farley describes Phelps as having "the biggest heart," attributing their achievements to his determination and their strong partnership. Her steady rise through the ranks hasn’t gone unnoticed. As a former USEF Eventing Emerging Athlete and NAJYRC bronze medalist, Mia has been developing her talent for years, earning respect and admiration along the way. With over a decade of involvement in the USEF Eventing Development programs, she made a statement in 2019 by securing top-15 finishes in eight of the twelve FEI competitions she entered. With each competition, she continues to gain experience at the top levels of the sport, and her performances at K3DE have solidified her as one to watch. Will we see Mia Farley back at the Kentucky Horse Park in 2025? Stay tuned for athlete announcements as we get closer to The Best Weekend All Year! Don’t miss a moment—secure your tickets today!

The father and son duo we all know and love, Bruce & Buck Davidson, are icons in the eventing world, bringing with them immense history and prestige. The two have left a lasting legacy on the Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event, inspiring generations of riders and elevating the sport to new heights. Bruce Davidson Sr. holds the prestigious record for the most wins at the K3DE, while Bruce (Buck) Davidson Jr. is a celebrated three-time USEF CCI5*L Eventing National Champion.  Bruce Davidson Sr. is a two-time Olympic gold medalist and a four-time world champion. Bruce became the first American rider to win an individual title at the 1974 World Championships and won a gold medal in the team event; he repeated his individual victory at the 1978 World Championships. He dominated the sport for decades and is a true eventing legend. With six victories, he holds the record for the most wins at the Kentucky Three-Day Event. His success at the K3DE has drawn top riders from across the world to Kentucky for The Best Weekend All Year in April. Following his father’s footsteps, Buck Davidson has built an incredible career of his own. Buck represented the U.S. at the 2010 and 2014 World Equestrian Games with Ballynoe Castle RM. Buck made his U.S. team debut at the 1999 Pan American Games, later winning team gold and individual bronze medals at the 2011 Pan American Games. For over two decades, Buck Davidson has been a fan favorite at the K3DE and always delivers a thrilling performance. With a family history of excellence and a deep connection to the Kentucky Three-Day Event, the Davidsons have played a major role in shaping the eventing world. We hope to see Buck again this year at the Kentucky Horse Park to continue the Davidson family legacy. Be there for yourself and watch history unfold at the 2025 Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event presented by MARS™ Equestrian. Buy your tickets now for a front-row seat to all of the action!
