Lexington, KY - The Kentucky Horse Park is pleased to announce the return of Cross Country Schooling Days for riders who want to work their horses on the park's world-famous course.
Cross Country Schooling Days are a fundraiser for the Kentucky Horse Park Foundation and cost only $35 per session. Proceeds raised through this event help the Kentucky Horse Park Foundation continue to maintain and improve the facilities and grounds year-round for all equine competitors at the Kentucky Horse Park. From the registration fee, $20 will be considered a charitable donation, and all participants will receive a tax receipt for that amount.
There will be two sessions per day. Weekend times are 8 a.m. to noon, and noon to 4 p.m. Weekday session times are noon to 4 p.m., and 4 to 8 p.m.

For riders who are not stabling at the park, a one-day $20 trailer pass or $75 seasonal trailer pass must be purchased at registration. Seasonal passes may also be purchased by calling 859-259-4225. Stabling may not be available for all schooling days.
Riders will also have an opportunity to earn a free schooling session by helping the park continue its clean-up from the 2010Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games. Participants are asked to pick up one 32-gallon trash bag of litter in exchange for one free schooling session of their choice. The park will provide the trash bag. The dates for this will be Saturday, March 12, and 19, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
