Harrisburg, Pa.—Oct. 16 Following the final medium pony over fences class at the Pennsylvania National Horse Show, Olivia Sweetman’s brain was thinking in 10s, 6s, and 4s trying to calculate the champion and reserve. The 12-year-old from Wellington, Florida, has a reputation for being better at math than some adults—and correcting them in a few instances […]
Harrisburg, Pa.—Oct. 15 As Ansgar Holtgers, Jr., and Elina entered the ring, a slew of orange-accented Zone 4 riders emerged on the stair landing of the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex arena. Zayna Rizvi, Hailey Royce and Reid Arani had completed their rounds for the Neue Schule/USEF Junior Jumper Prix Des National Championship and joined Zone 4 […]
Elkton, Md.—Oct. 16 Before entries opened for the Maryland 5 Star at Fair Hill, there was a lot of speculation as to which foreign riders might make the trip to check out the world’s newest five-star. For fans of the royal family, the late entry of Zara Tindall and Class Affair was an exciting one. It’s […]
Harrisburg, Pa.—Oct. 15 It’s been two years since junior hunters have graced the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex, and there are plenty of changes this year, with the addition of a second ring and two $10,000 junior hunter winners stake classes, plus now there are four sections of 3’3″ junior hunters. Between a former eventer, winning catch […]
Elkton, Md.—Oct. 15 Everyone knew that it would be tough to beat Oliver Townend and Cooley Master Class’s dressage score of 21.1 from yesterday, and it proved to be an impossible feat on Day 2 of dressage at the Maryland 5 Star at Fair Hill. New Zealand’s Tim Price came the closest with Xavier Faer […]
Elkton, Md.—Oct. 15 Whether riders had a good dressage test or a poor one at the Maryland 5 Star at Fair Hill, they’ve all come out of the main arena knowing it’s not likely to make much difference come Sunday. The track Ian Stark set for Saturday’s cross-country is big and attacking, and perhaps Olympic […]
When professional rider Nayel Nassar exited the ring after Round 1 of the inaugural $150,000 CSI3* CaptiveOne Advisors Grand Prix of Greenwich (Connecticut), the 30-year-old was proud of his horse’s performance but disappointed to have an unlucky rail down. As the class went on, however, rails kept falling for other competitors; not a single rider went […]
Elkton, Md.—Oct. 14 When Oliver Townend’s name showed up on the start list for the Maryland 5 Star at Fair Hill, eventing fans knew he’d be the one to beat. He came with Cooley Master Class, his two-time winner of the Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event, and he made it immediately clear that he didn’t fly over […]
Elkton, Md.—Oct. 14 While the Maryland 5 Star takes place at the same venue as the former Fair Hill International, everything looks completely different this year. The competition and trade fair are located on a different part of the massive property, with new rings for the dressage and show jumping nestled inside the existing steeplechase […]
Elkton, Md.—Oct. 14 Dressage gets underway today at the inaugural Maryland 5 Star at Fair Hill, but what everybody is most excited to see is the cross-country. Longtime attendees of the venue’s previous four-star long won’t recognize much on Ian Stark’s course. It’s an entirely new route in a new location, running from Fair Hill’s steeplechase track […]
