Rolex Kentucky Sets Impressive Stage

Rolex Kentucky, presented by Bridgestone, takes center stage April 25-29 at the Kentucky Horse Park when North America’s premier international four-star event showcases an international roster of horses and riders. The stakes are high with $250,000 in prize money, plus the lure of the jackpot of $350,000 for anyone who wins the Grand Slam of Eventing – Rolex, Badminton, Burghley – in any consecutive order in one year’s time.

In addition to Rolex being the USEF National CCI**** Eventing Championship, it’s also a major stepping stone in the US Selection Trial process to determine the three-day team for the London Olympics. The other selection trials are the Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials (UK), Jersey Fresh CCI3* and the Saumur CCI3* in France. For the Americans, a lot rides on Rolex.

In addition to world-class competition, Rolex is simply one of the greatest shows on earth and extremely spectator-friendly with all sorts of entertainment from the Prince Philip Cup Pony Club Mounted Games to the Ariat Kentucky Reining Cup and the ever-popular Freestyle Championship, contested Friday and Saturday evenings at KHP’s Alltech Arena. If you’re into tailgating, you can reserve your spot at various superior vantage points in the four-star cross-country course, then enjoy Exile in concert. The International Sponsor Village and Trade Fair will offer a variety of demonstrations, and spectators can shop ‘til they drop, and take advantage of the numerous opportunities to meet top riders for signings and course walks sponsored by SmartPak and Eventing Nation. Be sure to check in at Rolex Information Booths for the day’s running order and schedule.

Happy December 1st! Now the fun begins! 13 days of Happy December 1st! Now the fun begins! 13 days of Hot Horseman Christmas! To start us off is our featured hot horseman Woods Baughman! 

Growing up in Lexington, Kentucky, Woods Baughman was surrounded daily by all things horse. Driving through Lexington, he couldn’t help but see horses, whether they were in a field along the road, on billboards advertising upcoming equestrian events or on street signs—as even the roads are named after horses.
As a child, Woods and his non-horsey family attended a rodeo that came to the area. Immediately, Woods knew what he wanted to be when he grew up: a rodeo rider. “That’s when the nagging to my parents about wanting to ride began. Eventually, they caved in and signed me up for English riding lessons, with the agreement that if I stuck with it, I could switch to Western and go down the rodeo path,” Woods said.

Woods never made it to the rodeo circuit, as another equestrian event in Lexington captured his heart. When Woods was 6 years old, his grandfather heard about “some horse thing” that was taking place at the Kentucky Horse Park. That “horse thing” just happened to be the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event. While bull riding initially won Woods over, watching the horses gallop the cross-country course left Woods awestruck.

It’s hard to get Tony Sgarlata to talk about him It’s hard to get Tony Sgarlata to talk about himself—much easier, in fact, to get him talking about horses, his dogs or the people in his life. That doesn’t mean he and his career aren’t worth celebrating. Tony is an accomplished rider, and in the course of 20 years of running his own business has trained horses and ponies to all levels and coached multiple zone and national champions. He is a strong proponent for the sport, giving back as a clinician and USEF “R” judge. Last year, Tony partnered with the USHJA to help riders understand changes to equitation tests for 2023. He has judged throughout North America, including at WEF, Tryon, Lake Placid, Old Salem and more. When he’s not traveling to judge, Tony can be found at home in Raleigh, North Carolina, with his partner, Brian, and their three dogs, or traveling the world, sans dogs.
