Since Thanksgiving, the Ocala Jockey Club in Marion County has been the host venue for the inaugural International CIC3* 3-Day Event.
- First year of the 3-day Eventing competition
- More than 120 competitors are participating
- A shared $100,000 prize purse
More than 120 competitors are participating in the event which features three disciplines including dressage, cross country and show jumping.
"Eventing is a triathlon, in simple terms, with a horse," said organizer Richard Trayford.
Riders from all over the world are participating, including a few gold medalists like Leslie Law.
Law won the gold medal in Eventing in 2004 and a year later moved to Ocala.
"This is a world class venue and hopefully we can keep this in Ocala because this could be something major in this sport," said Law.
There's a shared $100,000 prize purse.
Admission is free but there is $10 parking fee. The event runs through Sunday.
