Raeford, NC. – Sunny skies and mild temperatures greeted competitors at the penultimate horse trial in the 10th year anniversary celebration of the Carolina Horse Park, Five Points Horse Trials, September 11-13.
Over three hundred horses competed at all six levels over a newly structured cross country course.

Soaked, but Not Shaken: Boyd Martin Flies the Flag for the U.S. at Defender Kentucky in Second
Boyd Martin and the 12-year-old Holsteiner gelding Commando 3 were the last pair to go in the Defender Kentucky CCI5*-L field on Friday afternoon and were warmly greeted to the bluegrass with an impressive downpour that outshined anything the other horse and rider pairs had to combat throughout the day. But that didn’t stop this pair from putting their best foot forward and impressing the judges enough to earn them a score of 26.0, just 0.2 points ahead of second-place pair Tom McEwen (GBR) and Brookfield Quality.
