A lesser rider than Kim would have scored 65 with that movement and those changes
— Eventing Nation (@eventingnation) April 25, 2014
Former Rolex winner Kim Severson and Fernhill Fearless receive a 55.7. #rolex14
— Practical Horseman (@prachorseman) April 25, 2014
Kim didn’t get Fernhill Fearless on the horse’s best day today. The movement quality and changes weren’t as good as they can be, but, as usual, Kim squeezed every single point possible out of the test with extremely accurate riding.
Rachel Jurgens and Ziggy — provisionally 70.5 #eventinglive

Lexington's own Lindsey Oaks & Enchantez score 65.5 #rk3de #eventinglive
— USEF Network (@USEFNetwork) April 25, 2014
After her ride, Lindsey is stopped on the way out by Sandy Phillips for a conversation about her serpentines being too large
Lindsey Oaks and Enchantez gave the crowd a hometown ride to cheer for — Lindsey is based right here in Lexington, KY. Karen commented on the USEF Network that their ride was just a little hurried and would have benefitted a lot from a little more preparation before each movement.

46.7 provisional for Lauren Kieffer and Veronica — your new (prov) @RolexKentucky leaders!
— Eventing Nation (@eventingnation) April 25, 2014
Lauren and Veronica have each been to Rolex once before, but they are first timers at Rolex together. They had the best trot half passes of Rolex so far.
Provisional 70.2 for Kaitlin Spurlock and Expedience #eventinglive

Big "well done" pats from Phillip and a hat tip for Mr. Medicott. They have scored a 49.5 – three way tie for 1st! #eventinglive #rk3de
— Eventing Nation (@eventingnation) April 25, 2014
Seamless flying change for P Dutty and “Cave”
Mr. Medicott is clearly unaffected by this atmosphere. He is an old pro. #eventinglive #rk3de
