Rolex
A big CONGRATS to Kismet Farms' own Jolie Sexson and Killian O'Connor on their outstanding finish at Rolex! They join Courney Pilla (nee Kay) as the second 4* team that has been produced from our farm! Connor and Jolie wowed the crowd and 
impressed the judges with a flawless dressage test to earn an incredible 47.3, which put them 11th after the first phase.
Saturday's cross country phased proved they were capable of world class status by only adding a few time faults to a foot-perfect round.
Sunday's jog showed how fit and fresh Connor was when he pricked his ears and flicked his toes for the crowd. Jolie had all the bloggers commenting 
on how nice she looked in her outfit that matched Connor's coat.
Show jumping was the fairy tale finish we all had been hoping for. The fences were BIG (duh!) and so was the crowd watching. 
Even though the stadium was filled, you could still hear a pin drop as he galloped over the rails.
Staying for awards was magical. They brought home the HSBC Trophy for First
Time 4* Highest Finish (the Rookie Award), USEF 10th place, and 18th overall.
For those of you who read Chronicle of the Horse and know of the controversial evaluation of Jolie and Connor's talents by Jimmy Wofford, you'll be happy to know he bought her a beer and congratulated her on Sunday afternoon. "Who Dat" Award indeed! He seriously should have known better, after all, we are from the West Coast! "Who Dat" he asks no more!
