The Three Phase Event for gaited horses is an equine versatility event for seasoned trail and show horses that do not jump, but demonstrate their versatility in dressage, a set stadium obstacle course and a 3 to 5 mile cross country course which demands stamina and willingness to meet field challenges for the beginner novice, novice and training level  division riders.  Each division is broken down into youth ages 12 to 17, and adults 18 and above.  

The third annual national gaited horse event will be held again at the continually developing Kentucky Equestrian Center, 850 Kiddville Road, Winchester, KY, is just off the Bert T. Combs Mountain Parkway.  The last two years were a huge success, being host to nine different registered gaited breeds:  Mountain Pleasure, Rocky Mountain, Kentucky Mountain, the McCurdy Plantation, the Tennessee Walker, the gaited Arabian, and the American Saddlebred.  A special division of limited entries for non jumping trot horses is continuing to be offered. The soft gaited horse is bred to have a four beat gait at the intermediate speed where other horses trot.  All the horses who attended the event in the gaited divisions, demonstrated their bred distinctions of this gait.  It was exciting to watch these varied horse and rider teams. The Three Phase Event organizers have developed this national  versatility championship that focus on the individual horse and rider teams.  Because of this the competitors, while competing for the individual and overall titles and prize money, enjoy the camaraderie of their fellow competitors without the head to head competition found in a group, round ring event.

Whether in the stadium obstacle course, the dressage arena, or the cross country course, these we encourage the equestrian teams to only focus on how well they perform together to accomplish the challenge before them. At the end of the day, that is what horseback riding is all about, either on the trail or in a show venue.
