Although there were no spectators this year, a last-minute rush of grassroots donations proved enough to rescue the fan favorite Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event from a second straight cancellation due to COVID.
The following are some of the great photos from MacMillan Photography’s team on the ground that we couldn’t fit into our daily stories. Enjoy!
