The storied tradition of Eventing at iconic Fair Hill continues with the Maryland 5 Star to be held annually in October at the Fair Hill Special Event Zone in Elkton, Maryland (Cecil County).

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, best described as an equestrian triathlon.

The Maryland 5 Star at Fair Hill marks a new chapter for the State of Maryland’s rich horse and equestrian tradition. The event showcases four days of competition in Dressage, Cross-Country and Show Jumping.

Three-Day Eventing is the ultimate test of horse and rider. The sport originated as a cavalry test and 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, even at the Olympic-level.
