The Maryland 5 Star Daily: Cross-Country Day
Everyone's favorite day has arrived! Cross-country kicks off today in both the CCI3*-L and the CCI5*-L at the MARS Maryland 5 Star at Fair Hill and all three of the top riders in the five-star echoed the same word when asked about Ian Stark's farewell course: hard.
The leaderboard didn't change after the second day of dressage in the CCI3*-L and USEA Emerging Athlete U21 (EA21) athlete Kiersten Miller still holds onto the lead going into the second phase. Cross-country gets going at 9:00 a.m. with Boyd Martin and Christine, Thomas, and Tommie Turner's Holsteiner gelding Mo Chroi (Dinken x Pila) leading the pack as the first pair to go. Barring any holds on course, the three-star is set to wrap up around 11:45 a.m.
Our five-star friends will gallop out of the start box at 1:30 p.m. You can bet that U.S. eventing fans will be cheering on the overnight leaders, Tamie Smith and the 17-year-old German Sport Horse gelding Mai Baum (Loredano 2 x Ramira), who is owned by Alex Ahearn, Ellen Ahearn, and Eric Markell. They kick off phase two at 2:51 p.m.

A Surprise Win for Bradford on a Special Thoroughbred in the Dutta Corp. USEA YEH East Coast 5-Year-Old Championship
The Thoroughbred mare Rose Traveler (War Dancer x Nashwan Rose) was the last to be seen in the 2024 Dutta. Corp USEA Young Event Horse (YEH) East Coast 5-Year-Old Championship, and she definitely lived up to the age-old adage, “saved the best for last.” The mare was ranked 31st in the conformation and 22nd in the dressage, but her jumping and galloping efforts absolutely impressed the judges, launching her up the leaderboard to claim the champion title.

The Maryland 5 Star Daily: Dressage Day 2
Day 1 at the MARS Maryland 5 Star at Fair Hill was full of excitement as a U.S. horse and rider pair took the overnight lead in the five-star, the CCI3*-L got underway with a USEA Emerging Athletes U21 (EA21) rider topping the field, and the first of the two USEA Young Event Horse (YEH) East Coast Championships crowned its champion. With the remainder of dressage for both the three- and five-star today, we could see some shakeups in the leaderboard.
