It’s the final day of Rolex, and it’s been a whirlwind of a weekend. It’s hard to believe that it’s already almost over, but before we get too far ahead of ourselves we have the final horse inspection this morning followed by show jumping at 1 p.m. EST.

If you’re behind on what happened yesterday, catch up in our cross country report here. Refresh this page for the latest from the second horse inspection. Best of luck to all!

8:57 a.m.: Sadly, Vandiver has not been accepted by the ground jury. That completes our final horse inspection, and we’ll see you back at 1 p.m. for the grand finale.

8:54 a.m.: Vandiver is being presented for re-inspection.

8:53 a.m.:

Every eventers favorite word: accepted! #rk3de #rolex2017 #rolexkentucky #eventing #equestrian #bestweekendallyear
