39 Pairs to Compete in Show Jumping Finale at Rolex Kentucky, One Not Accepted at Final Horse Inspection
Of the 40 combinations presented to the Ground Jury this morning, 39 will move on to the show jumping phase following the final horse inspection at the 2017 Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event.
Two pairs were withdrawn from competition this morning prior to the jog: Jacqueline Mars’ Vermiculus, who was sitting in 23rd with Lauren Kieffer and Tracy Bowman’s Good Knight, who was in 42nd with Jolie Wentworth.
After yesterday’s grueling cross-country phase, three horses were sent to the hold box: Share Option, Sir Oberon and Vandiver. Upon representation, both Share Option and Sir Oberon were accepted. Sadly, Debi Crowley and Doug and Jessica’s seventh-placed Vandiver was not accepted and has been eliminated from the competition.
Show jumping begins at 1 p.m. in reverse order of standing.

The 2024 K3DE Daily: First Horse Inspection
Lights, cameras, action! The first formal horse inspection (which some might informally refer to as "the jog") at the 2024 Defender Kentucky Three-Day Event (K3DE) takes place this afternoon at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky. While this part of the event is a fan-favorite historically based on the impeccable turnout of the horses and the stylish and forward fashion choices of the riders (we are looking at you Boyd Martin in hopes that you bring back the American flag suit circa 2022), it serves a very important purpose: ensuring that each horse is fit, sound, and ready to compete at the five-star level.
