This young eventer is going to be the coolest kid at the barn with Team SmartPak rider Boyd Martin’s autograph on her toes. How many people can say they’ve had a World Championship silver medalist sign their cast?
We’re in for a nail-biting conclusion to the MARS Maryland 5 Star presented by Brown Advisory today. The top five are currently separated by less than a rail and as we saw last year, the Ken Krome designed show jumping course was hugely influential.
But first, there’s the second horse inspection. 3* horses will jog up first at 8:30 AM ET, followed by 5* horses at 9:30 AM. Then the action gets underway with the 3* show jumping at 10:15 A.M. followed by the conclusion of the 5* at 2 PM EST (11:00 AM Pacific/ 7:00 PM BST). Keep it locked on EN today!
