By now you’ve almost certainly heard that this year, everything worked out in the riders’ favor at the $125,000 Trump Invitational Grand Prix to produce blue skies, perfect footing, and a gorgeous afternoon of show jumping in a prestigious location. Go here to catch the full story of how Laura Kraut and Cedric escaped the time fault curse that had been dogging them in previous years at Trump to win the grand prix. And enjoy this timeline of the day in pictures at Mar-A-Lago on Palm Beach Island, Florida!

It’s not a bad haul for the winner of the Trump Invitational

Not a bad place to hang out and wait for your class to begin

How the 1% watches show jumping. The event is not open to the public, but it attracts several hundred VIP spectators

Rider and singer Ki-Juan Minors opened the day with a performance and his popular rendition of the National Anthem

Gabriela Mershad was the first rider of an eventual nine to jump clear in Round 1

Thumbs up! Meredith Michaels Beerbaum also went clear aboard Atlanta

Ian Millar and Star Power had a great round, but tipped the final fence in Round 1

McLain Ward competed with Dulien Van De Smeets

And Kent. The heavy favorite to win the class, he sped over the first round course with Blue Angel

This is how Kent smiles after a clear round

Brianne Goutal and Ballade Van Het Indihof placed 3rd, and were clear in the jumpoff, here

And these guys. Cedric may be 17-years-old, but don’t tell him that!

However, Brianne’s horse wins for being the only one to pose with his head above this line of dignitaries during awards photos

In a nice touch, Laura and Cedric entered the ring with owner Margaret Duprey of Cherry Knoll Farm

Sophie Simpson was absolutely thrilled to win the following class, a Low Jr/Am Owner Speed with HC Woopy 14

Another great shot of Sophie and HC Woopy, who made it a day of double grays in the winner’s circle at the Trump Invitational

Into the setting sun: Addison Gierkink and Tiffany were 2nd in the Jr/Am Owner

And with that, the horses got a quick wash-down and were shipped back to Wellington!

See you next year, Mar-A-Lago!
