Monday Video: Overseas Horses Touch Down in Maryland

They’re heeeeere!

The eagles have landed. Or in other words, the international horses have arrived at Fair Hill for the inaugural Maryland 5 Star this week. We’re incredibly excited to welcome such a classy overseas contingent of competitors to North America’s very first fall five star.

Thanks to some super Event Partners The Dutta Corp., who organized round-trip flights with discounted bookings from Liège Airport in Belgium and and arrival into JFK International Airport for quarantine requirements at The ARK, and Brook Ledge Horse Transportation, who provided complimentary ground transportation from The ARK to Fair Hill, our overseas equines arrived safely and in style.

Watch them take their first steps on Maryland soil as they are unloaded one by one. Will we have an American five-star winner here in Maryland this week? Or will one of these horses and their rider take the title?

Let’s have a look at some of the travels that have begun in earnest ahead of the action this week. We’ll see you in Maryland!
