It’s been one heck of a day here in Lexington, and all eyes were on Rolex Stadium as the first pairs tackled the new CCI4* dressage test. Between the emotional test ride from Kathleen Murray and Ballynoe Castle RM and the test that brought the house down to conclude the day from Jessica Phoenix and Pavarotti, there is a lot to look back on. Here is today’s social media round-up from #RK3DE!

“A lot of my horses have been home-breds but with the connection to Snooze Alarm obviously he’s pretty special” @laurenkieffer on Vermiculus

Proud to watch my former ride Jollybo canter down the Center line at Rolex with her amazing jockey @hawleybennetteventing and put in a really solid first 4 star test! Excited to be able to cheer them on this weekend in person 😊🐴#jollybo #rk3de

Trying to grade papers and watch #RK3DE. Writing inside citation to outside reference is probably not going to make sense to my students. 😂
