This year, the Maryland 5 Star is upgrading the way they check and securely store competing horses’ health and vaccination records by using Equine MediRecord (EMR). EMR is the only Regulator-Approved Digital Medicines Register. This innovative technology helps simplify compliance to both the show’s equine health policies and the US Equestrian’s anti-doping regulations. It also ensures that each horse’s records are stored safely and securely. To make the process even easier, show staff and EMR representatives will be onsite during check in to help each competitor log their horse’s information into the EMR system.

“It is a privilege to partner with Maryland 5 Star. We are looking forward to our Equine MediRecord system being used to help make sure that the best protocols are followed to ensure the safety and wellbeing of horses at this years competition. We are excited to demonstrate how our Equine MediRecord platform can be used by horse events to follow the best equine welfare and anti doping procedures.” Pierce Dargan CEO, Equine MediRecord

The Maryland 5 Star joins the list of prestigious events, including the Preakness, Saudi Cup, Pegasus World Cup and 2021 Breeder’s Cup World Championships, that use EMR. Easy to use and more secure than paper documents, EMR provides veterinarians, trainers and anyone managing equine medical records with a new way to track and send the paperwork they need to shows and events.
