Newly minted 2022 USEF CCI3*-L National Champions Elisa Wallace and Renkum Corsair had their trusty helmet cam aboard during their cross country round in the three-star division at the MARS Maryland 5 Star at Fair Hill presented by Brown Advisory on Saturday! We love this up-close-and-personal look at the three-star track, and as Elisa and “Caz” were held near the beginning of their course this video is also a neat chance to get an inside look at how a rider manages a hold on course.
The syndicate-owned 12-year-old Holsteiner x Dutch Warmblood is a relatively new partnership for Elisa, who found the gelding on a trip to England last November. Previously ridden through the three-star level by British young rider Saffron Cresswell, Caz arrived stateside in January of this year. You can catch up with their journey on Elisa’s YouTube channel.
Elisa and Caz stalked the top spot all weekend after delivering a personal best FEI dressage score at any level of 26.4 for second place after the first phase. Finishing on that score at the end of the weekend secured them their win. Watch their dressage test and their winning show jumping round below!
