4:27 p.m. EST: Live stream commentators Jenni and Jimmie are taking a brief break to apply more sunscreen (“I’m pretty sure my left arm is obliterated,” Jimmie says) but stay tuned for coverage of the awards ceremony.
4:19 p.m. EST: Individual winner Lauren, whose bank account is now $3,000 heavier, leads her team of Phillip Dutton, Lynn Symansky and Buck Davidson to the top of the leaderboard as well.
4:17 p.m. EST: Holly Jacks-Smither and More Inspiration went for it but had two down. With Colleen Loach electing to sit out the jump off, it will be Lauren for the win!
4:16 p.m. EST: A gutsy 49.31 second round for Lauren Kieffer and Meadowbrook’s Scarlett puts them into the lead!
4:15 p.m. EST: Not yet… but Hannah Sue Burnett and Under Suspection overtake Selena for second.
4:12 p.m. EST: Selena O’Hanlon and Foxwood High move into second on a clear, swift round. Three more to go! Will anyone catch Kylie?
4:11 p.m. EST: Karl Slezak gives Fernhill Dutch Design a smart ride but unfortunately have the last fence down.
4:10 p.m. EST: Phillip Dutton and Z go for it but have a couple down. Looking forward to seeing this horse make his Advanced debut at Red Hills this weekend!
4:08 p.m. EST: One rail for Jessica Phoenix and Pavarotti.
4:07 p.m. EST: A rail down for Lisa Barry and F.I.S. Prince Charming drops them to third.
4:05 p.m. EST: Caroline Martin and Quantum Solace go for it but can’t quite catch Kylie, who is still the one to beat.
4:05 p.m. EST: Kurt Martin and Delux Z have a rail but it’s a great school for this exciting pair. “Remember their name!” Jenni says.
4:02 p.m. EST: Kylie Lyman and Da Vinci Code turn in a clear and blazing fast round, which will be a great prep for the horse’s upcoming 3* debut at Carolina International and puts them in the early lead.
4 p.m. EST: We’re looking at an 11-horse jump off, with Maya Black and her 15.2-hand powerhouse Doesn’t Play Fair heading into the ring first. A rail down mars their swift round.
3:56 p.m. EST: Team standings after the first round….
3:51 p.m. EST: That wraps up the first Eventing Prix round. The top 10 horses and riders from the first round will return for a jump off — we’re waiting to hear who will advance.
This is when it will get interesting: Show jumpers are used to going back into the ring for a second round against the clock, but event horses are used to a one-and-done format. Can’t wait to see who shows up with their game face on for round #2!
3:41 p.m. EST: Sara Kozumplik Murphy and her precocious 7-year-old mare, Delta Queen, have an educational two-rail round.
3:38 p.m. EST: Penultimate pair Leah Breakey and Master King II come away with a rail.
3:26 p.m. EST: A perfectly-done round for Lauren Kieffer and Meadowbrook’s Scarlett.
3:31 p.m. EST: Jennie Brannigan’s Catalina has a green mistake to a vertical, getting in a bit deep which results in a stop. Three more to go before the jump-off!
3:28 p.m. EST: Another double-clear for Bobby Meyerhoff and Dunlavin’s Token.
3:26 p.m. EST: Elisa Wallace and Simply Priceless have a rail at, to quote Jimmie, “that dang oxer!” Big, square and off a turn, it has caught out a few horses.
3:22 p.m. EST: Hallie Coon and her mare Celien are booking it through their turns, coming in six seconds under time with one rail.
3:21 p.m. EST: No problem on the time for Jon Holling and Kildalton Cooley but one rail will keep them out of the jump-off.
3:17 p.m. EST: One rail but a really nice round for Joe Meyer and South Paw.
3:15 p.m. EST: A beautiful double-clear for Canadian Holly Jacks-Smither and More Inspiration, “Morris.”

2:45 p.m. EST: Phillip Dutton gives a masterclass on how to get it done and make it look easy on Z.
2:40 p.m. EST: Sinead Halpin and Grey Area are four seconds over the time, but what a great experience for this talented young horse and Sinead looks thrilled.
2:39 p.m. EST: Tik Maynard and his catch ride Topgun have an unlucky vertical down at the beginning of the course.
2:36 p.m. EST: Ellie McPhail and RF Eloquence have a rail early in the course and no time.
2:26 p.m. EST: “Canadian superwoman” Jessica Phoenix gives Pavarotti some big pats after their double-clear round. A 10-minute break now before the next pair, Ellie McPhail and RF Eloquence.
2:25 p.m. EST: Lisa Barry and F.I.S. Prince Charming lay down a tidy, efficient double-clear, two seconds inside the time.
2:23 p.m. EST: Liz Halliday-Sharp and Fernhill By Night come away with one disappointing rail.
2:22 p.m. EST: A beautiful round from Sharon White and Cooley On Show, marred by a rail at the end.

Working on those tans! Jenni: “I’m pretty sure Jimmie’s legs are see-through.”
2:17 p.m. EST: One fence down and a bit of time for Kyle Carter and Cooley Nothing Better B.

1:59 p.m. EST: Hannah Sue Burnett is a woman of many talents! She kicks off the competition with a lovely rendition of the national anthem. She’ll be competing today on the Holsteiner mare Under Suspection.
