Following the Final Horse Inspection, 34 Horses Set to Show Jump at Maryland 5 Star
Following yesterday’s downpour, the temperatures for the final jog this morning were brisk but the CCI5*-L horses remained professional for the last horse inspection leading into show jumping later today. Of the 35 pairs set to move forward with the final phase of competition, only 34 presented to judges Angela Tucker (GBR), Martin Plewa (GER), and Mark Weissbecker after Lisa Marie Fergusson opted not to bring forward her own 15-year-old Welsh/Thoroughbred gelding (Brynarian Brennin x Dream Contessa) Honor Me.
While there were no horses sent to the hold box, Andrea Baxter was asked to jog her 16-year-old Thoroughbred mare Indy 500 (Cromwell x Tens of Thousands) two times, but was accepted immediately after her second jog. There was a long pause before the judges accepted Joe Meyer’s New Zealand Thoroughbred gelding Johnny Royale (Highness x Chivvaney), owned by the Team Johnny Syndicate.
Five-star show jumping begins at 1:00 p.m. and will run in reverse order of placing. However, Will Faudree has two placings close together so will ride out of order and be first in aboard Jennifer Mosing and Sterling Silver Stables’ 14-year-old Irish Sport Horse gelding Pfun (Tadmus x Celerina).

Pressure Proof with Daniel Stewart: The Present is a Gift
I’d like to start my Holiday Pressure Proof Tip with an excerpt from my new book Bolder Braver Brighter.
"Imagine leaning against a tree while your horse grazes happily beside you. You feel the warm sunshine and breeze on your cheek, hear the chirping of nearby birds, and smell the fragrance of the grass and wildflowers. Your horse nickers quietly and all you can think about is how lucky you are to have this horse and this sport and this life… right here, right now.
