ARCADIA, CA (November 15, 2025) — 1/ST, the innovative brand redefining Thoroughbred horse racing and equestrian sport, entertainment, and lifestyle experiences, in partnership with the prestigious Split Rock Jumping Tour, kicked off an exciting two weeks of show jumping competition on Wednesday with the 2025 Santa Anita CSI3* (November 12–16).
The iconic Santa Anita Park, named as the host venue for all equestrian events for the LA28 Olympic Games, welcomed some of the world’s top-ranked riders at its state-of-the-art equestrian venue.
In this first week of competition, riders from 18 nations are in top form, and the rain is not stopping horses or riders from giving their best performances thanks to ESI International’s world-class all-weather footing.
Wednesday’s $1,000 ESI Footing 1.35m Speed set the stage for fast rides and blazing times. Jamie Taylor (USA) and her own Quatar stopped the clock at 59.37. Jeffrey Fields (USA) followed with a 2/3 finish aboard Ortolaan Van Het Ruytinxos and Trinidad ME Z.
Thursday, James Chawke (IRL) and Daido Van’t Ruytershof returned to his winning ways and led the victory gallop in the $35,000 CSI3 1.45m Speed* with an unbeatable time of 60.16. Callie Schott (USA) and Garant and Vanessa Mannix (CAN) aboard Lehar rounded out the podium, stopping the clock at 62.95 and 63.55, respectively.
Friday afternoon, Callie Schott (USA) and her superstar, Garant, proved victorious in the $35,000 C. Jarvis Insurance CSI3 1.45m Welcome* against a field of 43 competitors. Their winning jump-off time of 36.03 was more than a second faster than Mathijs Van Asten’s (NED) 37.83 on Vedet DK Z, who took the early jump-off lead. Hilary Scott (AUS) and Lola tied with the same jump-off time as Van Asten.
“I love this show; we came last year and it’s amazing. I feel like the horses jump really well in this ring,” said Schott. “With him (Garant), our week is finished. This was a good preparation for next week, the 5*, which is our goal to do well in the World Cup qualifier.”
Over 550 competitors are enjoying top-level competition through Sunday in classes ranging from .85m, 1m, 1.10m jumpers to Junior/Amateur 1.20m, 1.30m, and 1.40m jumpers. The first week of show jumping culminates with the $125,000 CSI3 1.50M Grand Prix on Sunday afternoon.*
