CONGRATULATIONS TO 2024 CCI5* WINNER, OLIVER TOWNEND & BALLAGHMOR CLASS

CONGRATULATIONS TO 2024 CCI3* WINNER, SHARON WHITE & JAGUARS DUENDE

The Place to be in October!

The storied tradition of Eventing, the ultimate test of horse and rider, continues with the Maryland 5 Star at Fair Hill, hosted at the Fair Hill Special Event Zone in Cecil County, MD. As one of only two 5 Star events in the United States, and seventh worldwide, the prestigious 5 Star (CCI5*) designation is the pinnacle of the sport of Eventing, which is comprised of three phases, Dressage, Cross-Country and Show Jumping. It is also one of the few sports where men and women compete alongside one another as equals, up through the Olympic-level.

Wondering what else to do at the Maryland 5 Star? There’s something for everyone.

In addition to world-class equestrian competition, the MARS Maryland 5 Star at Fair Hill presented by Brown Advisory features a wide array of other activities and attractions.

The Fair Hill Special Event Zone serves as the world-class venue for the Maryland 5 Star at Fair Hill. It features an Ian Stark-designed cross-country course, as well as state of the art dressage and show jumping arenas within the historic turf track’s infield.

“The (5 Star) course at Fair Hill is a true international test for the bold and accurate. The Maryland 5 Star gives North American riders the opportunity to compete at the highest level without the need to travel to Europe and brings horses and riders from all over the world.”
