November 15, 2025 - Mill Spring, NC - It was an exciting conclusion to the Duke “Jump for the Children” benefit shows and the inaugural Duke Under the Lights events. Audrey Muscari (Ocala, FL) aboard Chester Du Roset (Chief V x Calixe Du Roset) came out on top in the $50,000 Henri De Rivel Duke “Jump for the Children” Grand Prix, as the only pair to break into 40 seconds during the competitive jump off. As the last entry to compete in the Tryon Stadium, Fernando Cardenas (New Hill, NC) rode his third mount of the night, Fernando Cardenas Sr.’s 2015 Warmblood gelding Fano Car (Dianant D'heure ABF x Ursula Car) into second place on their jump off time of 41.425 seconds. Brooke Kemper (Reddick, FL) was the first rider to set a clear 41.631 second speed round ride, piloting Arpeggi (Arpeggio x Lucy Lancer), the Arpeggi Group’s 2010 Westphalian gelding.

Ken Krome designed a difficult course for the $50,000 Henri De Rivel Tryon Duke Jump For The Children Grand Prix, with six riders qualifying for the jump off and only two teams going double clear. The fastest of those two was Richie Moloney (Wellington, FL) and Ermes Di Tai (Canturano x Vittoria Di Tai). It was Taylor Land (Atlanta, GA) and Kim Land’s 2009 Holsteiner gelding Caballero (Casall x Ricarda I) who secured second place with the only other clear round in the speed round. Fernando Cardenas Sr’s 2015 Warmblood gelding Fano Car (Dianant D'heure ABF x Ursula Car) and Fernando Cardenas (New Hill, NC) were the fastest of the jump off four faulters, and completed the class podium.
