Benton, LA resident Sydney Conley Elliott will compete with the best the world has to offer this weekend in the Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event at Kentucky Horse Park in the 'Grand Slam of Eventing.'

And by the best in the world, I truly mean the best in the world. Equestrians from all over the planet will converge on Kentucky Horse Park for North America's only CCI5* event. Elliott is a lifelong equestrian and proof positive that we have world-class equestrian talent right here in northwest Louisiana.

Unfortunately, spectators aren't allowed at this year's event, however, you can watch the free live stream here. Sydney is competitor #41 and her dressage ride time is today, Friday, April 23, 12:03 pm CST. Follow scoring live scoring for the event here.

This video tries to encapsulate all that the Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event is in just 30 seconds. As a two-time visitor, I can tell you that Land Rover is all this and so much more! It's truly, 'The Best Weekend All Year!'
