Original 5* Club Status Achieved in 2015 & Expanded to 7 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. It’s cross country is just incredible. It’s tougher than Burghley!
