Maryland First Horse Inspection Fancies Fall Fashions

Riders showed off their horses and outfits in the First Horse Inspection CCI5* at the MARS Maryland 5 Star.

Competitors at the 2024 MARS Maryland 5 Star presented by Brown Advisory in Cecil County, Maryland, presented their CCI5* horses Wednesday afternoon in the First Horse Inspection on a sunny but windy day. They presented 23 horses who will contest the five-star event. The ground jury held one horse, Game Changer, who they then accepted when Grace Taylor (USA) represented him.

The riders in the field represent five countries, including USA, Australia, Canada, Great Britain and New Zealand. They’ll compete in the dressage phase Thursday and Friday starting at 2 p.m. EST. They’ll move forward to cross-country on Saturday, starting at 1:30 p.m. EST, and finish with show jumping on Sunday at 2 p.m. EST.
