Elkton, Md.—Oct. 17
The second horse inspection of a three-day event is always a stressful time. Riders, support crew, owners and spectators all hold their breath waiting to hear that their horse was accepted. The Maryland 5 Star at Fair Hill was no different. While there were a few tense moments as the ground jury took its time making some decisions, all 34 horses who were presented will move forward to show jumping. Andrea Baxter was asked to jog Indy 500 twice.
Lisa Marie Fergusson, who picked up two refusals on cross-country with Honor Me, did not present.
Show jumping will commence at 1 p.m. Eastern time, and combinations will compete in reverse order of placing, with overnight leader Oliver Townend and Cooley Master Class jumping last.
