By Lindsay Berreth - USEA Staff

The fourth of seven five-stars worldwide is taking place from June 15-18 at the Longines Luhmühlen Horse Trials in Luhmühlen, Germany.

The five-star entry list is chock-full of superstar horses and riders, with several pairs having rerouted from the Badminton Horse Trials (England) in May. The event also features a CCI4*-S which serves as the German national championship.

The USEA will be on site at Luhmühlen on Thursday to bring you coverage of the five-star!

Eleven countries are represented.

    Of the U.S. entries, Fedarman B, Luke 140, and Sologuayre Calfornia are making their five-star debuts. It will be Coleman and RLE Limbo Kaiser’s first five-star together. The gelding completed Pau (France) in 2020 with British rider Rosa Onslow.
