Okay, we have made it through an outstanding long weekend of Rolex Kentucky Three-day Event, presented Land Rover, and the equestrian triathlon did not disappoint. However, we’re in a bit of a tizz – first of all, Sidelines blogger and freelance photographer Beth Harpham is back in the hospital thanks – or no thanks – to that pesky pinched nerve in her back

ROLEX – Cross Country Recap
Sunday, April 28 2013
by Editor
Andrew Nicholson (NZ) sits in first and second places on Quimbo and Calico Joe respectively after a cross-country day that rang up serious changes on the leaderboard. The XC tends to bring about huge differences on the leaderboard, but holy wow… Buck Davidson put in a double clear on Reggie (Ballynoe Castle RM), jumping from 8th to 3rd AND clocking closest to the optimum time, so he won the 2-year free lease of a brand new Land Rover – oh yeah! – and William F0x-Pitt partnered Seacookie TSF to advance from 10th to fourth with another double clear

Rolex Day Three – Rocking Cross-Country, Reining and The Crowd Goes Wild
Sunday, April 28 2013
by Editor
By Jan Westmark-Allan Buck Davidson is in third place after dressage and cross country at the 2013 Rolex and had the best optimum time for an American rider so he rode away with a two-year free lease on a Land Rover! Photo by Beth Grant Photography Day three of the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event was exciting – because it’s always exciting to watch horses and riders gallop over huge obstacles and make it look like they are showing in a walk-trot crossrails class. The cross-country course was 11 miles, and I don’t know how the horses felt after galloping it, but my feet hurt after walking it. We tried to watch as many jumps as possible, so we walked the entire course.

ROLEX: Friday Dressage Update (Saturday morning)
Saturday, April 27 2013
by Editor
Chilli Morning was cool as you-know-what when he and William Fox-Pitt (GBR) absolutely aced the dressage test to earn 33.3 penalty points, thereby commanding first place on the leaderboard. This is not a surprise if you have seen William Fox-Pitt in action, and also he has won two Rolexes – 2010 & 2012.

ROLEX – Friday morning update
Friday, April 26 2013
by Editor
Well, for our 8th Rolex, this week can be described quite nicely by that great song Truckin’ by The Grateful Dead (yep, classic rocker all the way) by the line: What a long, strange trip it’s been!!!! We have spent 12 hours-plus on the road to Rolex with that breakdown – we had just crossed over the line to W. Virginia on I-64 – but what great local people. All’s well that ends well.
