Lexington, Kentucky, USA – April 13, 2020 – Pending USEF and FEI approval, the Lexington International CSI 2* will be postponed from its original date in late May to June 17-21. Entries are open and, given that this show is expected to sell out quickly, riders are encouraged to submit entries now. Those who already entered will automatically be moved to the new dates.
The world-class event offers classes in every division from .85m on up, highlighted by a $75,000 FEI Grand Prix 1.45m. The event will be held at its new location, the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky, USA.
“This is an incredibly challenging time for everyone,” said Split Rock Jumping Tour Founder and CEO Derek Braun. “We join everyone in hoping that the world can be back to somewhat normal activity by June. As we plan this show, we will continue to follow guidelines put forth by the CDC, USEF and FEI.”
Now in its sixth year, the SRJT has been revolutionizing the way the sport of show jumping is presented in the U.S. and has been creating a truly “unparalleled show jumping experience” for competitors, sponsors and spectators alike. Competing in the SRJT is unlike any other American horse show experience. SRJT competitions offer top prize money, extravagant awards, special entry packages, and numerous first-class amenities not typically found at any other horse show.
