Sunday Maryland Instagram Roundup: One More for the Fans, New & Old

EN’s coverage of the Maryland 5 Star is brought to you by Kentucky Performance Products. KPP is our go-to for all things nutritional when it comes to supporting our horses and their healthier selves. Managing horses is a challenge, but KPP makes it simple — and they treat you like a horse owner, not just a customer. You can learn more about KPP by clicking here.

One of the greatest challenges facing eventing today is the question of how to connect with the larger community. How do we make our sport more accessible, more inclusive, more relevant? Existing within an insular bubble is a surefire route to extinction, and more importantly, what is a sport even worth if it does not actively endeavor to engage with and contribute to the greater good of society?

We are impressed at how the Maryland 5 Star at Fair Hill went above and beyond to make its inaugural event a destination not for riders, but a celebratory bonding experience for its host community and beyond. Kudos to Governor Larry Hogan and Cecil County Executive Danielle Hornberger, along with the entire Maryland 5 Star leadership team and all of the event’s sponsors and vendors.

And most of all, a huge thank you to all those who came out to watch the action. Whether new fans to eventing or old, a sport can only thrive if there are folks out there who wish to follow it. And who knows? Maybe, after this weekend, they will be inspired to try their hand at riding themselves.

Here are a few of YOUR snapshots from the event:
