5 Star Worlds
6 Event 5* Club Status Achieved in 2015
Expanded to 7 with the inaugural MD5* in 2021
What inspired you to attend every 5 Star event across the world?
I just love seeing new ideas! I wanted to see how people do things at many different venues. I love the CrossCountry App and looking at event courses all over the world, but it’s quite different to be there in person. It’s exhilarating! I love it!
What and when was your first time spectating at a 5 Star event?
Kentucky, 2006… then Burghley, Badminton.. and Pau and Luhmuhlen… Burghley again … Adelaide was last in 2015, until Maryland’s first 5-Star in 2021.
What is your favorite cross country jump?
Badminton’s Broken Bridge. I loved it so much I had to build my own version for the Maryland Horse Trials!
If you could only go back to one 5 Star again, which one would it be?
The Maryland 5 Star. Its cross country is just incredible. It’s tougher than Burghley!
Where will your 5 Star journey take you next?
