The Mars Maryland 5 Star final trot-up was uneventful, with all eight pairs still in the five-star competition passed as fit to continue in the showjumping phase later today. All the horses passed on first inspection, without any being sent to the holding box or asked to trot again.

Only these eight pairs of the 21 starters completed yesterday’s five-star cross-country and so came forward to today’s Maryland 5 Star final trot-up in front of the ground jury, Sweden’s president Christina Klingspor, the USA’s Valerie Pride and France’s Xavier Le Sauce.
