BACK TO THE SECOND DAY OF DRESSAGE HERE AT FAIR HILL, THE MARS MARYLAND PRESENTED BY BROWN ADVISORY NOW IN ITS THIRD YEAR OF RUNNING.

IT WAS BOYD MARTIN ON CUE, TIM PRICE THAT WON THE SECOND, WHO WILL BE THE WINNER OF THE 2023 EVENT.

THAT IS THE QUESTION.

THAT IS THE BIG QUESTION HERE.

YESTERDAY WE HAD A DAY OF DRESSAGE IN THE 3 AND 5 STAR.

THE 3 STAR IS NOW COMPLETE.

WE WILL BRING YOU THAT START LIST IN JUST A FEW SECONDS.

CROSS COUNTRY STARTS TOMORROW, FIVE PAST 9:00 FOR THE 3 STAR, JUST AFTER FIVE PAST 1 FOR THE FIVE STAR AND IN THE SAND BOX ON SUNDAY WHERE DREAMS ARE MADE.

IT IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT WEATHER CONDITIONS HERE TODAY.

64 DEGREES, 76% HUMIDITY, A SLIGHT BREEZE AND WE COULDN'T ASK FOR BETTER, WE REALLY COULDN'T.

AND WE HOPE YOU'RE ENJOYING ALL OF THE COVERAGE SO FAR.

IT HAS BEEN MAGICAL.

SINEAD HAS BEEN ALONGSIDE WITH ME ALL WEEK, IT HAS BEEN GREAT.

>> OH MY GOSH AND WE ARE JUST GETTING GOING.

>> WE REALLY ARE.

AND YESTERDAY DRESSAGE, IT REALLY THREW SOME BIG NAMES INTO THE AIR.

SOME REALLY EXCITABLE TESTS, IT WILL BE REALLY INTERESTING TODAY.

BUT PIGGY MARCH WAS ONE OF THE OUTSTANDING TESTS, LET'S LOOK AT THE 3, 2, 1 FROM YESTERDAY'S ACTION.

AND IN THIRD PLACE IT IS HANNAH SUE HOLLBERG WITH CAPITOL H I M. NOW HE REALLY IMPRESSED.

A BIG HORSE FOR HANNAH, WITH A LOVELY PERFORMANCE.

>> YEAH, HE DID A-- IN THE RING BETTER THAN HE HAS EVER BEEN, BETTER THAN HE HAD BP AT HOME SHE SAID, HE REALLY SHOWED UP YESTERDAY, WHAT GOOD TIMING.

>> SOME INTERESTING PERFORMANCES.

SOME REALLY DID SHINE AND SOME REALLY DIDN'T ENJOY THAT TIME AT ALL.

BUT THIS HORSE DID.

ARTIST MONICA SPENCER.

DRESSAGE IN ADD LAID, BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE YESTERDAY.

>> AND SUCH A FABULOUS TEST T WAS BEAUTIFUL TO SEE IN PERSON.

I HAVEN'T SEEN THIS COMBINATION LIVE AND IT WAS NOT TO BE MISSED.

>> IT REALLY WASN'T AND NORM WAS THIS.

OVER 17, 2 THIS HORSE STANDS, FORMER RIDE OF HARRY MEAD AMONGST OTHERS IN THE SADDLE.

PIGGY MARCH THOUGH, PULLED OUT ALL THE STOPS FOR 24.2.

>> AND WITH SUCH A SHORT TIME WITH THIS HORSE JUST THINK WHAT NEXT YEAR HAS TO HOLD.

>> VERY EXCITING HORSE FOR THE FUTURE.

BROOKFIELD CAVALIER CRUISE, TEN YEARS OLD, FIRST 5 STAR AND LET'S HAVE A LOOK AT THOSE STANDINGS.

AFTER DAY ONE OF DRESSAGE IT IS GREAT BRIG AN'S PIGGY MARCH.

BROOKFIELD CAVALIER CRUISE, 24.2, MONICA SPENCER FOR NEW ZEALAND SECOND, ARTIST, 28.4, AND HANNAH SUE HOLLBERG FOR THE U.S.A.S THE HOME SIDE CAPITOL H I M IN THIRD, 32.4.

CORNELIA FLETCHER, THE RIDE OF A ROLLER COASTER YESTERDAY WITH DAYTONA BEACH 8, WE WILL BE HOPING SHE CAN CLIMB THE LEADERBOARD, ALL ABOUT THE CROSS COUNTRY, JACOB FLETCHER, PARTNER IS FIRST OUT FABIAN.

GREENACRES SPECIAL CAVALIER, EXPECTING SPECIAL THINGS WITH THEM, SARAH KUHN, THEN A REALE AHARONI, ERIN KANARA, FOX-PITT, LILLIAN HEARD WOOD, GREAT IN THE DRESSAGE SOMETIME, OLIVER TOWN TOWNEND, COOLEY, THE FIRST 5 STAR FOR THAT EIGHT YEAR OLD AS WELL.

AND IT WILL BE BOYD MARTIN, THE INAUGURAL WINNER WITH CONTESSA.

SIT TIGHT, BUCKLE YOURSELVES IN, THIS IS GOING TO BE VERY, VERY EXCITING INDEED.

THE FIRST TO GO, IT IS JACOB FLETCHER, JACOB RIDING FABIAN.

VERY EXCITING HORSE IN FABIAN.

HE WILL BE HOPING FOR A FIRST TIME EXPERIENCE TO BE A GOOD ONE BECAUSE THIS IS HIS FIRST 5 STAR.

NOW YOU THINK ABOUT JACOB FLETCHER, HE HAS BEEN AROUND THE CIRCUIT FOR A VERY LONG TIME, MARRIED OF COURSE RECENTLY.

BUT THIS IS HIS FIRST 5 STAR.

>> YEAH, IT IS WILD TO THINK BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN ON THE CIRCUIT SO LONG.

SPENT SOME TIME IN GREAT BRITAIN WITH KEVIN McNAB AND THIS HORSE HAS GONE FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH.

I SAW THIS HORSE COMPETING IN THE SPRING OF THIS YEAR AND I HONESTLY DIDN'T RECOGNIZE HIM.

I THOUGHT HE HAS REALLY COME STRENGTH TO STRENGTH.

HE HAS GOTTEN STRONGER, MORE POWERFUL.

JACOB HAS JUST GOTTEN REALLY CONFIDENT IN THIS PARTNERSHIP.

SO I'M THRILLED FOR THEM TO BE HERE.

I'M EXCITED TO SEE WHAT UNFOLDS.

>> ME TOO.

AND IT IS GREAT TO SEE HIM.

HE WORKS SO HARD.

HE HAS PUT SO MUCH WORK INTO THIS 13 YEAR OLD DUTCH WARMBLOOD OWNED BY FLETCHER FARMS.

THE WINNERS OF THE 4 STAR TERA NOVA LAST OCTOBER, ONE RED IN THE SHOW JUMPING TO THEIR DRESSAGE SCORE, THEY IMPRESSED AGAIN IN KENTUCKY THIS SPRING EARNING THEM A TOP TEN SPOT.

INCREDIBLY CLOSE 2, BEHIND HALLADAY IN THE 4 STAR TRY ON IN MAY AND THEY HAD REALLY GOOD, GRADUATE OF THE UNDER 25 EVENTING PROGRAM.

HE HAS ALSO BENEFITED FROM A SEASON UNDER THE WATCHFUL EYE OF KEVIN McNAB WHEN HE WAS THERE.

BASED IN ENGLAND BEFORE RETURNING TO THE STATES.

HE IS COMPLETING HIS DEGREE IN ENTREPRENEUR Y'ALLSHIP FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS.

SO.

>> NOT A LOT OF DOWN TIME.

>> NO.

>> AND HE'S REALLY COME IN POWERFUL.

I MEAN ALREADY SOMETIMES YOU CAN COME INTO THIS ARENA AND BE A LITTLE SHY BUT HE HAS COME IN QUITE STRONG RIDING EVERY MOVEMENT AND FABIAN SEEMS TO BE UP FOR THE JOB.

>> HE'S A VERY TALL, SLENDER LAD.

AND MAKING THE MOST OF HIS 5 STAR DEBUT, REALLY GOING FOR THE MARKS.

HE IS NOT SHYING AWAY IN THERE, IS HE?

>> NO.

AND HAS BEEN WORKING QUITE HARD ON HIS DRESSAGE WITH BARON HILLABRAND, HELPING A LOT OF OUR CONTENDERS.

JACOB A RESERVE FOR THE PAN AMERICAN TEAM, A TIP OF THE HAT FOR TEAM U.S.A. SAYING YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT DIRECTION, YOU ARE GOING THE RIGHT TRAJECTORY, KEEP IT UP.

AND COMPLETE CLASS HERE.

NOT OUT OF SPACE AT ALL.

>> SO AS WE NOW TURN TO THIS, WHICH I THINK IS QUITE A HARD MOVE, IT IS THE HALF CIRCLE IN EXTENDED WALK.

AND TRYING TO KEEP THE BEND AND THE CURVE TURE OF THE HARD CIRCLE AS WELL AS EXTENDING THE WALK IS A VERY DIFFICULT MOVE IN ITSELF.

YOU YOU MIGHT THINK OH T IS JUST WALKING FAST IN A HALF CIRCLE, IT ISN'T.

>> I THINK IT IS PROBABLY TRUE IN MOST THINGS IS THAT THE FURTHER UP THE LADDER YOU GO THE FURTHER AWAY YOU GET FROM THE BASICS SOMETIMES.

WHEN WE ARE FIRST STARTING THESE HORSES THE WALK MIGHT BE THE EASIEST THING TO DO BECAUSE ANYTHING ELSE YOU ARE TRAINING.

BUT AS THESE HORSES GET MORE EDUCATED SOMETIMES GOING BACK TO THE WALK CAN BE A LITTLE BIT TRICKY.

BUT JACOB DID A GREAT JOB THERE.

AND HERE IT IS INTERESTING THE PROGRESSION FROM WATCHING THE 3 STAR TEST EARLIER BECAUSE THE HORSES WENT STRAIGHT ACROSS THAT AT MEDIUM AND THEN A SIMPLE CHANGE WHEREAS THE HORSES HERE DO A FLYING CHANGE, WHICH IS A NICE CHANGE THERE.

>> I FEEL FOR ME IT WAS A LITTLE BIT LATE BEHIND.

I DON'T KNOW WHETHER HE WENT TO ASK ON THE THIRD STAYED OR THE FOURTH IT WAS SORT OF IN BETWEEN.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE FOUR STRIDES IN THE CORNER TO THE A MARKER.

IT IS ALL THOSE THINGS THAT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 7 OR AN 8 OR AN 8 AND ON AND AN 8.5.

AND ALL THOSE MARGINAL GAINS REALLY MATTER AT THE END.

>> EXACTLY.

YOU KIND OF THINK THAT FABIAN STOLE THAT CHANGE A LITTLE BIT, JUST A LITTLE AHEAD OF THE 8ST.

>> AS WE WATCH HERE, 1, 2, 3, 4, CHANGE.

PERFECT.

>> HE JUST SHOULD HAVE COUNTED LAST TIME.

AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU SHOULD BE DOING.

HE GOT RIGHT INTO THE CORNER.

AND THAT ALMOST MADE THE HAIR STAND UP ON THE BACK OF MY NECK, ACTUALLY.

BECAUSE YOU FEEL THAT.

AND YOU KNOW WHEN YOU ARE RIDE, YOU COUNT DOWN THE STRIDE TO IT.

AND YOU GET IT.

NOW THIS STRETCH ON THE CIRCLE, WE SAW THIS IN THE 3 STAR, NOW SEEING IT IN THE 5.

BUT THEN DIFFERENT IN THE 5 IS THAT WE PICK THEM UP AND THEN DO THE TWO CHANGES ON THE SHORT DIAGONALS.

>> WHICH I ACTUALLY APPRECIATE.

I THINK SOMETIMES DURING THESE TESTS THE HORSES CAN GET A LITTLE TIGHT AND THIS GIVES THEM A SECOND TO BREATHE AND GET BACK TOGETHER FOR THE CHANGE.

DEPENDING ON YOUR HORSE WHETHER THAT WORKS TO YOUR STRENGTH OR NOT.

>> SO 6 OR 7 DEPENDING ON THE LENGTH OF THE STRIDE.

ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A FIFTH STRIDE BECAUSE, I WAS COUNTING ONE LATE BUT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE FIFTH.

BUT IT WAS STILL A VERY GOOD CHANGE ONCE HE GOT THERE.

>> ALL OF THOSE POLISHED UP MOVEMENTS MAKE IT LOOK LIKE IT WAS DEFINE-- DESIGNED TO HAPPEN EXACTLY THEN.

AND THAT IS WHERE YOU GO FROM THE SIX AND A HALF TO SEVEN, THE SEVEN AND A HALF TO AN EIGHT.

HE WILL BE UNBELIEVABLY DELIGHTED.

HE SHOULD BE INCREDIBLY CROWD OF THAT TEST BECAUSE IT WAS A REAL, REAL GOOD ONE.

>> AND IT IS A LITTLE BIT THE HARD THING.

IT IS KIND OF LIKE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT, IS AUSTIN GOING TO LULL PEOPLE INTO THINKING THAT THE CROSS COUNTRY IS EASY TOMORROW BECAUSE IS HE FIRST OUT.

JACOB JUST MADE THAT LOOK LIKE PONY CLUB.

>> HE REALLY DID.

>> IT WAS VERY, VERY EASY.

AND IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THE JUDGES MARK THAT BECAUSE AGAIN THERE IS KIND OF THAT MYTH OF THAT FIRST RIDE COMING IN.

AND ARE THEY GOING TO BE SHY ON THE SCORES BUT THERE WAS SO MUCH TO LIKE ABOUT THAT.

THERE WAS POWER, THERE WAS CONNECTION.

THERE WAS CONFIDENCE AND THAT IS REALLY WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR IS THIS ENERGY, AT THE TOP LEVEL OF SPORT.

>> I TOTALLY AGREE.

AND I THINK, THAT WAS, APART FROM ONE FLYING CHANGE, FOR ME THAT WAS A PRETTY MUCH A GOOD CLEAR ROUND.

YOU WOULD SAY A CLEAR ROUND BY TOUCHING A COUPLE OF RAILS, IF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT SHOW JUMPING BUT IT WASN'T A RAIL DOWN, I WOULD BE SUB 30 WITH THAT.

>> YEAH, I WOULD TOO.

>> WE SHOULD JUDGE.

>> I THINK WE SHOULD.

>> WELL, I WOULD LOVE IT TO BE FOR HIM.

WHAT A FIRST 5 STAR IF HE CAN GO INTO THE TOP FIVE EVEN.

YOU KNOW, LOOK AT THIS, SUPER.

>> YOU KNOW, HE WAS A HIND LEG FIRST, HE DIDN'T EVEN SLOW DOWN.

39.3, WELL DONE JACOB FLETCHER.

182.5, 180.5, 188.5.

29.3, THIRD PLACE, ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC, AND THOROUGHLY DESERVED.

>> ABSOLUTELY, WHAT A WAY TO START OUR 5 STAR THIS FRIDAY, VERY EXCITING.

SETTING THE STANDARD, YOU KNOW, THAT WAS.

>> YESTERDAY I THINK WE HAD TO WAIT TO GET THAT POP IN THE RING AND I THINK THE ENERGY THERE THE TECH ANY CALITY PART OF IT WAS REALLY, REALLY EXCELLENT AND JUST THRILLED FOR JACOB.

>> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY THRILLED FOR HIM.

AND ALICE WAS SAYING YESTERDAY, SHE WAS EMULATING THE RATINGS AND STATS AND SAYING THAT THE WINNERS COME FROM A SUB30, WE HAVE GOT THREE SCORES IN THE SUB 30, PIGGY MARCH, MONICA SPENCER AND JACOB FLETCHER, HE IS FLYING THE FLAGS FOR THE BOY, THE HIGHEST RANKED U.S.A. RIDER AND IT IS A MALE.

SO LET'S.

>> LATELY IT'S BEEN LADIES SO I CAN SEE YOU FIGHTING FOR THAT.

>> SO LET'S KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, JACOB.

NOW IT IS CAROLINE POWELL, CAROLINE RIDING GREENACRES SPECIAL CAVALIER.

SHE IS ONE OF THE BEST RIDERS IN THE WORLD.

BEEN AROUND FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

TWO OLYMPIC GAMES BEHIND HER INCLUDING THAT TEAM BRONZE FROM THE OLYMPIC GAMES IN LONDON 2012 WITH THE GREAT LENAMORE, THE HORSE SHE WON BURGHLEY ON ALL THOSE YEARS AGO.

SHE STARTED OFF HER CAREER ARE WITH REALLY GOOD HORSE, MACK McDONALD, ONWARDS AND UPWARDS, TIKTOK, THOSE HORSES, WHERE SHE BROUGHT THROUGH THE GRAZE INTO.

AND NOW TOP LEVEL COMPETITION.

BUT THIS HORSE IS A SPECIAL ONE, TEN YEARS OLD BY CAVALIER ROYALE GREENACRES TOUCH IS THE DAM TOUCHDOWN, MICHAEL KALLERY THE BREEDER AND CHRIS MANN WHO OWN THIS LOVELY LOVELY TEN YEAR OLD IRISH SPORT HORSE MARE.

>> AND I THINK CAROLINE HAS VERY, VERY HIGH HOPES FOR THIS ACTUALLY QUITE YOUNG MARE.

SHE WAS FIFTH ON HER DEBUT AT PAU IN 2022, AND AT BADMINTON I REMEMBER WATCHING SHE HAD A COUPLE MUCH SPOT STOPS AND I WAS SO IMPRESSED BECAUSE SHE DID NOT TAKE HER FOOT OFF THE GO BUTTON.

WE ARE DOING THIS, YOU WILL GROW AND GET BETTER FROM T AND SHE DID CAME BACK AND LAST MONTH WON THE CCI4 STAR SHORT AT PAU, SO THIS IS A TOP AND SHE IS LOOKING TO BUILD ON HER WIN.

>> SHE HAD A TREMENDOUS TIME IN IRELAND, THIS MARE, THE REASON, I SPOKE TO HER AND SAID WHAT IS THE REASON TO PULL UP AFTER THE REFUSAL.

>> I WANT TO LEARN ABOUT THIS MARE, I WANT TO KNOW HOW MUCH SHE IS GOING TO GIVE ME.

I WANT TO KNOW IF SHE IS GOING TO GIVE UP ON ME, SHE HAD TWO REFUSIONALS AND CAROLINE SAID, OKAY, WE'VE DONE ENOUGH NOW, BECAUSE THE GOING AS WE KNOW AT BADMINTON WAS TOUGH.

IT WAS REALLY TOUGH GOING AND CAROLINE WHO WON BURGHLEY IN 2010 WITH LENAMORE SHE KNOWS HOW THESE HORSES WORK.

I WAS WATCHING THIS HORSE WORK IN THE ARENA OF FAMILIARIZATION YESTERDAY, MY GOODNESS ME, THEY LOOKED AMAZING THEN.

AND I SAT WITH ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE GRAND JURY FROM THE 3 STAR.

AND THEY WERE SAYING GOT TO BE A TOP 5.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

YOU LOOK HOW CONFIDENT SHE IS ON THE END OF THE REIGN.

THEY REALLY LOOKED JUST LIKE ONE, RIGHT.

THEY LOOKED CONNECTED.

THEY LOOKED LIKE A PARTNERSHIP.

IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE ONE IS THINKING ONE THING AND ONE IS THINKING THE OTHER.

THEY ARE ON THE EXACT SAME PAGE, THE EXACT SAME SENTENCE AND EXACT SAME WORD AT THE EXACT RIGHT TIME.

>> AND THAT IS WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT.

IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT BEING ON THE SAME HYMN PAGE, YOU HAVE TO SING FROM THE SAME LINE, IN THE SAME TUNE, SINGING IN THE SAME NOTE.

AND YOU GOT TO BE SINGING AT THE SAME TIME.

AND THIS IS WHERE IT ALL GETS TO THE REAL TOP END ECHELON OF THIS SPORT.

>> THOSE BRAIDS OR PLATES AS WOULD YOU CALL THEM ON YOUR SIDE OF THE WORLD IS SO STUNNING, THE MARE BEAUTIFULLY TURNED OUT.

>> CAROLINE'S GROOM IS FANTASTIC.

AND I KNOW HER PARTNER IS HERE AS WELL.

FANTASTIC TEAM THAT THEY MAKE.

THIS IS GREENACRES SPECIAL CAVALIER'S THIRD CRACK AT THE 5 STAR.

SHE FINISHED 5 AT PAU BACK IN 2022.

BADMINTON IN THE SPRING WE KNOW, WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THAT.

BUT IT IS HERE, THIRD TIME, NOT A SINGLE JUMPING FAULT LAST YEAR.

INCREDIBLE SHOW JUMPING FORM.

>> AND YOU KNOW WATCHING A TEST LIKE THIS, YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T REALIZE THE DETAILS ON THINGS JUST BEING SIMPLY VERY GOOD, YOU KNOW, THAT THERE IS NOT A POINT OR A MARKER LOST.

THE HORSE IS IN A GREAT FRAME, IS IN GREAT SELF CARE.

SHE IS HITTING ALL OF HER MARKS.

AND JUST ISN'T GIVING THE JUDGES A PLACE TO DING HER.

AND THE MORE SHE SHOWS THE JUDGE THERE IS NOT A PLACE TO BID ANYTHING WRONG, THE SCORES WILL KEEP TALLYING UP AND UP AND UP BECAUSE ARE YOU GETTING EXCITED ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE WATCHING, LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT MOMENT INSTEAD OF BITING YOUR LIP SAYING HOPEFULLY THIS IS SENDING-- ENDING SOON.

>> REALLY NICE ANGLE TO THE HALF PAST.

>> WHAT A POWERHOUSE.

>> YEAH.

>> AND YOU KNOW, IF YOU ARE GOING TO GO FOR IT, GO FOR IT.

DON'T SIT THERE, IF YOU HAVE THE POWER UNDERNEATH YOU, LET'S SEE T LET'S SHOW IT, SUPER FLYING CHANGE AGAIN, ON THE BUTTON, ON THE NOSE.

>> AND WHAT'S BEAUTIFUL THERE IS YOU DON'T SEE THE ASK.

>> NOPE.

>> YOU JUST SEE THE CHANGE.

>> I TELL YOU WHAT, WE'RE BEINGS A BIT SPOILED.

>> I KNOW.

>> THEY'RE NOT QUITE WANTING-- WE TALKED ABOUT THAT EARLIER.

SOMETIMES WHEN THEY ARE SO UP AND CONSISTENT IN THAT FRAME YOU ALMOST WANT ONE MORE CIRCLE FOR THEM TO REALIZE THEY CAN TAKE A BREATHE.

THIS MARE IS ON WORK MODE, I I AM NOT RELAXING AND STRETCHING NOW, I'M AT THE JOB.

JUST KIND OF SKIPPED THROUGH THAT CHANGE, IT WAS CLEAN.

VERY EASY.

>> AGAIN WE WAITED ALL DAY YESTERDAY FOR SUB 30S.

WE'VE ALREADY SEEN ONE, JACOB FLETCHER, 29.3.

>> WE'RE GOING TO BE THERE AGAIN.

>> WE ARE, AREN'T WE.

>> LOOK AT THE EXPRESSION ON THIS MARE'S FACE.

WATCH HER EYE, LOVELY.

I MEAN VERY WELL DONE TO CAROLINE POWELL, TO THE TEAM WHO HAS TURNED OUT GREENACRES SPECIAL CAVALIER IN JUST FOR MIDDABLE STYLE.

THE BRAIDS, THE FLATS, BEAUTIFUL, THE MARE VERY HAPPY, THE DUE CARE AND ATTENTION TO THESE HORSES BEHIND THE SCENE ARE SECOND TO NONE.

THEY GET LOOKED AFTER LIKE KINGS AND QUEENS.

THEY REALLY DO.

THEY ARE THE STARS OF THE SHOW, ITS UNSUNG HEROES ARE THE GROOMS.

AND THEN YOU'VE GOT THE PEOPLE ON TOP.

WELL, THEY DON'T DO A BAD JOB EITHER.

>> IT'S DEFINITELY A TEAM AFFAIR SO WE ARE GETTING SOME YIPS FROM OUR CROWD AND IF YOU ARE WATCHING FROM HOME THERE IS STILL TIME TO GET OUT HERE TODAY.

WE'VE GOT AN AFTERNOON FILLED WITH 5 STAR RIDES AND THEN YOU CAN TAKE OFF AND CHECK OUT THE CROSS COUNTRY THAT IAN STARK HAS GOT READY FOR US TOMORROW.

IT IS ALL HAPPENING HERE AT MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR AT FAIR HILL.

BEAUTIFUL.

I'M GETTING YOUR BRITISH ACCENT.

>> YOU ARE.

>> I'M HE NOUNS YAITING BETTER.

>>-- ENUNCIATING BETTER.

JUST SUPER POWER ACROSS THE FIELD.

AND THIS IS ONE I AM VERY EXCITED TO WATCH.

>> WELL, I THINK-- WE THINK IT WILL BE A SUB 30 AND WE HOPE IT'S GOING TO BE AND CAROLINE POWELL REALLY DESERVES A MARK TO CREDIT THE WORK, TO CREDIT THE TEST AND IT IS 29.0.

THIRD PLACE, 184.5, 183, 186, THAT IS AN AVERAGE PENALTY SCORE, 29.0, CAROLINE POWELL THROWS HERSELF NOT ONLY ON TO THE PODIUM HERE AT THE MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR SPRENTED BY BROWN ADVISE RE BUT ALSO THIS MARE GIVES HER A REALLY GOOD CHANCE OF PLACE IN THIS OLYMPIC GAMES IN PARIS.

TEN YEARS OLD, 11 NEXT YEAR, THERE IS THE BLUE CRAB THAT WILL WAIT THE 3 STAR ON THE CROSS COUNTRY TOMORROW.

IT IS A C ELEMENT FOR THE 5 STAR.

WE'LL EXPLAIN ALL OF THAT TOMORROW AFTERNOON.

BUT THE BLUE CRAB SYNONYMOUS WITH THIS PART OF THE AREA IN MARYLAND.

AND ONE OF THE PARTIES LAST NIGHT THEY HAD THE BLUE CRABS ON OFFER.

AND I'M SURE THEY WERE DELICIOUS.

I DIDN'T GET THERE MYSELF.

I DID RIGHT AT THE END.

I WENT OUT TO WALK THE COURSE.

IT WAS TIME TO WALK THE COURSE, REALLY, RATHER THAN GO AND PARTY.

THAT IS COMMIT THAMENTS WE HAVE TO MAKE.

YOU WENT FOR A RUN LAST NIGHT.

>> I DID SOME CROSS WHERE THE PARTY WAS, I DID NOT GET LOST IN THE WOODS.

>> I GOT LOST IN THE WOODS.

>> BUT WE FOUND YOU AGAIN AND HERE WE ARE BACK.

LOOK AT THAT BACK DROP AS WE LOOK AT THE DRESSAGE, THE YOUNG HORSE COMPETITION GOING ON IN THE BACKGROUND, YOU CAN SEE THE CLOCK COUNTING DOWN.

THE RIDERS HAVE WHAT SECONDS FROM WHEN THE BELL TOLLS AND YOU HAVE A CREW OF PEOPLE, STEWARDS IN THE WARMUP GIVING THESE RIDERS A COUNT DOWN FROM 5 MINUTES TO 4 MINUTES, THEY HAVE TO GET UP TO THE ARENA.

THE BELL WILL GO ON THEIR OFFICIAL RIDE TIME.

>> IT IS SARAH KUHN NEXT TO START, MR.

CHARACTER VAN DER START, MR. CASH VAN DE START IS BY DEAUVILLE VAN L,ISHTAR VAN DE START IS THE DAME BY TOULON OWNED BY DEBORAH KUHN AND JAN-- FROM MR. CASH VAN DE START LANDED IN SAR'S-- SARAH'S BARN AS A 5 YEAR OLD HORSE, FROM THE CZECH REPUBLIC.

HE WAS INTENDED TO BE A RESALE PROSWRECT BUT ACTUALLY THEY KEPT HIM IN SARAH'S BARN FOR LONG ENOUGH FOR HER TO REALIZE THAT HE WAS ACTUALLY AN UPPER-CLASS HORSE FOR THE LEVELS.

>> WELL, SHE DID A FABULOUS JOB THERE BECAUSE WE WERE WATCHING YESTERDAY WHEN THEY WERE DOING THE RING FAMILIARIZATION AND HE WAS NOT A HUGE FAN OF THAT SCREEN RIGHT THERE.

DID A REALLY GREAT JOB OF SAYING COME ON, GET ON WITH IT, THIS IS PART OF THE BIG TIME, BUDDY.

YOU HAVE TO GET USED TO YOUR NAME IN LIGHTSES.

>> THEY HAVE 30.9 WITH THE LAST SCORE AT THE 4 STAR LEVEL.

BUT THIS IS A BIG MOMENT.

AS IT WAS FOR JACOB FLETCHER, AS IT IS FOR FIVE RIDERS IN THE 5 STAR, FIRST 5 STAR.

DO YOU REMEMBER YOUR FIRST?

>> YES.

>> I MIGHT HAVE BLACKED OUT A FEW TIMES.

>> I THINK THAT IS A VERY NATURAL AND NORMAL THING TO DO.

>> VERY SWEET HORSE HERE, YOU CAN SEE, AGAIN, THE BUILD FROM THE 3 STAR TRACK, IN THE 3 STAR THEY DID ITS HALF PASSES TOWARDS THE RAIL THEY DO THE HALF PASSES IN TO THE MIDDLE OF THE ARENA.

IN THE 3 STAR THEY DO FAR AWAY FROM THE JUDGE, IN THE 5 STAR THEY DO IT RIGHT NEXT TO THE JUDGE.

SO YOU CAN SEE THE WHISKER ON THEIR CHINS.

>> SO IN THAT REIN BACK RIGHT IN WEREN'T OF C, THERE IS NO GETTING AWAY FROM WHATEVER HAPPENS.

IT IS 5 STEPS AND IT IS 5 STEPS THAT ARE-- NOT FIVE AND A HALF, NOT SIX.

AND SHE DID FIVE AND A HALF.

AND IT IS ALWAYS, WHEN YOU ARE RIDING A REIN BACK, ON THE FOURTH STRIDE IF YOU THEN ASK FOR THE FORWARDS BUT YOU HAVE TO GET THE FULL STRIDE FIRST, GET THE FULL STRIDE AND AS THE HORSE PICKS UP THE FOOT TO GO TO THE FIFTH STAYED, THEN YOU THINK ABOUT GOING FORWARDS.

AND YOU GET YOUR FIFTH STEP BACK AND FORWARD.

BUT AGAIN IT IS ABOUT EXPERIMENTING AND WORKING WITH WHAT WORKS FOR EACH HORSE.

SOME HORSES YOU HAVE TO RIDE RIGHT TO THE END OF THE FIFTH STEP BUT IF YOU TRAIN THEM AND ARE YOU WORKING TOGETHER, BEAUTIFUL EXPRESSIVE.

>> AND I REALLY LIKE THIS MOVE BECAUSE YOU GET TO PUT POWER INTO THE STEP.

YOU GET TO ROCK IT BACK.

AND IT WOULD BE INCLINED FOR THAT CHANGE FOR THEM TO WANT TO CHANGE.

SO IF YOU CAN HOLD THEM ON THE LINE, THE BOARD IS YOUR OUTSIDE LEG, YOU CAN GET THEM TO STAY STRAIGHT.

THE CHANGE SHOULD COME THROUGH WELL.

>> THAT WAS A NERVOUS FLYING CHANGE BECAUSE SHE SHORTENED THE COUNTER QUITE A LOT TO MAKE SURE SHE HAD THE COUNTER AROUND THE CORNER BUT DOING THAT SHE CLOSED THE COUNTER DOWN, THE FLYING CHANGE WAS MORE OPEN THAN THE COUNTER SHE HAD BEFORE.

KEEPING THE CANTOR, KEEPING THE QUALITY OF THE CANTOR BUT KEEPING IT FORWARD.

BECAUSE IF YOU GET THAT BACKWARD CLOSED DOWN CANTOR CANTOR THEN YOU EITHER GET A MISJUDGED FLYING CHANGE OR A BIG OPEN ONE THAT SHE DID HERE.

IF YOU WATCH THIS ONE, YOU SAW THERE SHE JUST HAD A FEW TROT STRIDES ALMOST FOUR BEAT CANTOR BEFORE.

IT IS ABOUT BEING BRAVE AROUND THAT SHORT SIDE.

AND KEEPING THE QUALITY AND THEN YOU WILL STILL GET, SHE WILL GET BRAIFER.

THE NERVE WILL BE AT THE MAXIMUM F WE HAD A HEART RATE MONITOR ON HER I SHOULD THINK BY THE TIME SHE WAS COMING UP THE HILL ARCHWAY T WOULD HAVE BEEN PRETTY HIGH.

>> IT IS DEFINITELY A-- WHEN ARE YOU COMING UP THAT, INTO THAT FINAL MOVE INTO YOUR FIRST 5 STAR OR 50th 5 STAR T SAY PRETTY POWERFUL MOMENT.

AND THEN YOU GET YOUR HEAD ON STRAIGHT AND YOU GET IT AND DO THE JOB.

>> WE HAD ONE STRIDE LATE BEHIND CHANGE WITH A TWIST, ON THE FIRST ONE, WATCHING THE HIND LEG AND WE DIDN'T REALLY GET ANYTHING ON THE SECOND ONE EITHER.

SO THAT WAS A REAL PITY BECAUSE THOSE ARE TWO QUITE HIGHLY MARKED MOVEMENTS IN THE TEST RIDE TOWARDS THE END.

AND SHE WILL GO DOWN TO PROBABLY A 4.55 FOR THE FIRST ONE AND PROBABLY A 4, 3 AND A HALF FOR THE SECOND.

BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER.

MR. CASH VAN DE START AND SARAH KUHN HAVE COMPLETED THE DRESSAGE.

AND WHAT A TEST FOR THIS YOUNG 11 YEAR OLD AND SARAH VERY PROUD TO BE IN THERE.

AND SHE SHOULD FEEL ABSOLUTELY ELATED.

>> WELL, THERE IS SO MUCH TO WORK WITH THERE.

WE HAD TALKED ABOUT IT BEFORE.

IF YOU COME OUT OF THE ARENA AND YOU HAVE A SCORE THAT YOU CAN'T, YOU KNOW, YOU FEEL LIKE I DID THE BEST I COULD POSSIBLY DO.

THE HORSE WAS VERY MUCH WORKMAN LIKE IN THE ARENA AND I KNOW THAT THIS HORSE CANNOT ALWAYS HAVE THAT ATTITUDE AND THERE WERE A FEW MISTAKES WHICH I WILL KEEP THE SCORE FROM BEING A TOP MARK BUT THERE IS SO MUCH ROOM THERE TO IMPROVE IT, THE HORSE LOOKS READY TO BE IMPROVED IN THIS TYPE OF WAYS, NOT THAT THERE IS OVER, THERE IS TOO MUCH TENSION THAT KEEP THE HORSE FROM BEING RIDDEN.

IT IS JUST A FEW GREEN MOMENTS AT THE LEVEL.

>> SHE WILL CLEAN UP THOSE CHANGES A LITTLE BIT.

>> YEAH, AND THAT WILL COME, I MEAN THAT IS FOR SURE.

WE CAN SEE CLEARLY WHEN WE SAW THE CHANGES AT THE C END OF THE ARENA FROM THE COUNTER CANTOR THAT THE CHANGES ARE THERE.

BUT WE HAD THAT, AS YOU CALLED IT, AS WE CALL IT, THE TRANT TO ALLOW THE HORSE TO STRETCH, SHE SLIGHTLY DID IT IN THE SECOND FLYING CHANGE OR THE SHORT DIAGONAL, 38.1 FOR SARAH KUHN AND MR. CASH VAN DE START, 162, 163.5, 157.

38.1, INTO 12th PLACE.

JUST OUTSIDE THE TOP TEN FOR NOW.

FOR SARAH KUHN.

FIRST 5 STAR FOR THIS YOUNG LADY.

>> AND YOU CAN STILL SEE THAT HE IS SUSPICIOUS THE WHOLE WAY OUT, THAT HE HAS NOT TAKEN A BREATHE.

HE IS STILL NOTICING EVERY BLADE OF GRASS, EVERY CHANGE OF FOOTING.

HE HE IS WELL AWARE.

>> JUST LOOK AT THAT CROSS COUNTRY COURSE, THAT SAY 3 STAR START TO THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE, IS THE START BOX THAT IS THE FIRST FENCE, IN THE 3 STAR TOMORROW MORNING, 9:00.

THE FIRST HORSE WILL BE JUMPING THAT CROSS COUNTRY FENCE.

>> AND YOU CAN SEE THE SPECTATORS ARE WATCHING THE YOUNG HORSE COMPETITION GOING ON CURRENTLY AS WE SPEAK.

IF YOU ARE AT HOME, COME ON OUT.

WE HAVE GOT AMAZES TRADE FAIR, A LOT OF MARS, M & MS, CANDY, DOUGS, HORSES, PEOPLE.

WHAT ELSE HAVE WE GOT?

>> WE'VE GOT PONY RACING TOMORROW.

WE'VE GOT THE CORGI CUP ON SUNDAY.

YOU HAVE US HERE.

I MEAN WHAT REASON MORE DO YOU NEED.

>> EXACTLY.

>> BUT THERE IS A HORSE YOU KNOW WELL, DUTCH TIMES, ARIELLE AHARONI.

AND SHE HAS HAD SOME GOOD FORM.

15 YEAR OLD NOW, THIS DUTCH TIMES, DUTCH BY GOODTIMES OWNED BY CHRISTINA.

>> YEAH, CHRIS IS ARIELLE'S MOTHER, SUCH A COOL STORY.

WE HAVE KNOWN THIS HORSE SINCE HE WAS A THREE YEAR OLD.

AND CHRIS CALLED US AND SAID SHE HAD PURCHASED A REALLY WELL BRED 3 YEAR OLD SO FOR I THINK ARIELLE WAS 9 AT THE TIME.

AND ARIELLE AT THE TIME WAS RIDING ONE OF CAROLINE MARTIN'S PONIES, TAKING LESSONS.

AND CHRIS, ARIELLE MOM JUST BELIEVED THAT TO GET ARIELLE A A REAL QUALITY HORSE SHE WOULD NEED TO BUY THE HOSER YOUNG AND AR A ARE ARIELLE COULD PRODUCE IT THROUGH THE LEVELS.

SHE HAS DONE JUST A PHENOMENAL JOB.

IT IS A BEAUTIFUL HORSE T IS A PHENOMENAL JUMPER.

DEFINITELY, DEFINITELY HAS SOME CHARACTER AND ARIELLE HAS DONE AN AMAZING JOB.

NOW THAT HE IS A LITTLE OLDER, HE IS A LITTLE BIT MORE RELIABLE AS HE COULD LET HIS OPINIONS BE KNOWN, CERTAINLY.

BUT THAT'S ALSO WHAT MAKES HIM A BOLD AND BRAVE CROSS COUNTRY HORSE.

>> IT MUS BE REALLY SATISFYING KNOWING THAT TICK TOOK THIS HORSE TO 3 STAR.

AND ALSO FOR CHRIS AS WELL, I SUPPOSE, THAT SHE HAD FAITH IN THIS HORSE IN THE BEGINNING.

AND SAW SOMETHING AND TICK SAW SOMETHING AND FELT SOMETHING AND.

>> WELL, HE CREDITS TO CHRIS AND HER FAMILY BECAUSE IT WAS HER VISION.

WE WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE A SMALL PART IN IT.

BUT IT REALLY IS THEIR VISION AND THEIR DREAM AND HERE THEY ARE AT THIS 5 STAR AND IT IS INCREDIBLE.

AND IT IS AN INCREDIBLE HORSE, AN INCREDIBLE PARTNERSHIP.

>> MUCH BETTER EXTENDED.

>> THAT IS WHAT YOU CALL-- WHY DID HE DO THAT.

>> I DON'T KNOW, SORRY.

MUCH BETTER EXTENDED THAN THE MEDIUM BECAUSE THE MEDIUM WAS A LITTLE UNBALANCED, A LITTLE NERVY BUT THAT MISTAKE AT THE END.

>> LOOKING VERY CLASSY, ARIELLE AGAIN A PRODUCT OF COMING THROUGH OUR EMERGING ATHLETES AND BEING PART OF THAT GOAL AND THAT JOURNEY AND HAVING THE SUPPORT AROUND HER.

STILL BASED IN NEW JERSEY.

AND SHE IS A YOUNG PROFESSIONAL ON HER OWN TAKING HORSES IN FOR TRAINING AND SHE ALSO DOES SOME-- DOES QUITE A BIT OF SHOW JUMPING, JUMPED QUITE A FEW GRAND PRIKS.

>> THEY WILL BE ONES TO WATCH THIS WEEKEND.

IF SHE CAN JUST KEEP HER LID ON EXACTLY WHAT SHE IS DOING IN THERE AND THAT IS RIDING A VERY GOOD TEST THERE HAVE BEEN A COUPLE OF MISTAKES BUT ON THE WHOLE IT HAS BEEN FAIRLY FAULTFREE.

5 STAR DEBUT FOR BOTH HORSE AND RIDER, AND A VERY EXCITING ONE HERE AT MARYLAND, THE MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR PRESENTED BY BROWN ADVISORY.

>> YOU CAN SEE DUTCH IS HAVING A LITTLE BIT OF AN OPINION ABOUT COMING BACK.

LET'S SEE HOW HE CARRIES ON THROUGH.

IS HE A LITTLE FRUSTRATED IN THE CONTACT RIGHT NOW.

>> IT WAS A BIT OF A FRUSTRATED FLYING CHANGE AS WELL.

HE IS LIKE OKAY, AND-- THERE YOU GO.

THERE IT IS.

>> WITH STILL ARGUING A BIT ABOUT THE TRANSITION BACK FROM THE MEDIUM KANTSOR.

SO WE WILL SEE HOW SHE CLEANS IT UP ON THE OTHER SIDE.

JUST A LITTLE RUDE IN THE CONTACT.

SHE NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO GET HIM BACK AND POWER HIM UP AGAIN.

>> JUST POKING HIS TONGUE OUT A LITTLE BIT AS WELL.

AND THEN IT WAS A LATE BEHIND CHANGE.

THAT IS WHERE HERE SOMETIMES THE SIDEWAY STEPS ARE REALLY HELPFUL.

YOU CAN SEE THERE HE IS GETTING BETTER AND SOFTER BUT THE PUSH AND THE SITS ARE HARDER FOR HIM.

THE HORSE HAS AN INCREDIBLE RHYTHM, INCREDIBLE JUMPER BUT THINKING ABOUT THAT ACCORDION SIDE OF THINGS HE KIND OF GETS SET IN A TONE AND WHEN HE HAS TO GO AND COME BACK THAT CAN BE A HARDER MOVE WHEREAS THE LATERAL IS UP ELNESS AND POWER ARE PRETTY INNATE.

ANOTHER ONE BEAUTIFULLY TURNED OUT.

LOVELY-- UNFORTUNATELY JUST GETTING CAUGHT OUT ON THESE CHANGES.

ALTHOUGH THAT WAS ONE BETTER THAN THE FIRST, IT WAS JUST TIGHT BEHIND.

WHEN YOU COME AT IT AS A JUDGING POINT OF NOT IT IS NOT REALLY MUCH YOU CAN DO, A PULLDOWN IS 4 POINTS.

WHEN YOU HAVE A LATE CHANGE THE JUDGE DOESN'T HAVE THE SUBJECTIVITY AND SAY WELL, HE TRIED.

IT HAS TO BE A LOW MARK SO UNFORTUNATELY THOSE CHANGES WILL LET HER DOWN A LITTLE BIT IN HER SCORE BUT FIRST 5 STAR DOWN, AND THE DRESSAGE ANYWAY.

AND IT IS A LONG WAY TILL SUNDAY.

HE IS GOING TO SHAKE THAT BONNET RIGHT OFF.

>> ARIELLE AHARONI COMPLETING HER FIRST 5 STAR DRESSAGE TEST IN FRONT OF INTERNATIONAL JUDGES, GIVING A BIG PAT THERE, DUTCH TIMES, AND STILL FAIRLY YOUNG HORSE IN THE WORLD, HE HAS GIVEN A LOT OF EXPERIENCE TO HER, AND PROVED HIS WORT, THIS WAS THE SECOND EXTENDED SHOT WHERE HE JUST MADE THAT MISSION TAKE AT THE END.

A LITTLE TRIP BEHIND.

HE JUST LOST HIS BALANCE.

THERE IT WAS.

UNFORTUNATELY WE DIDN'TEE THE HIND LEG BUT IT WAS JUST THERE RIGHT AT THE END WHERE HE LOST HIS BALANCE.

BEAUTIFUL ON THE STRETCH, ON THE CIRCLE BUT YOU COULD SEE HERE EVEN STILL FROM THAT FIRST MEDIUM KANLTOR HE WAS STILL FIGHTING THE CONTACT AND HAVING THAT DISCUSSION WITH HER.

>> AND THAT WOULD BE A BIT OF HIS CHARACTER.

HE IS A STRONG-WILLED HORSE.

AND I DO THINK LIKE WE HAVE SAID BEFORE SOMETIMES FOR THE HORSES THAT AREN'T AS MUCH BLOOD, THEY ALMOST NEED A LITTLE BIT OF THAT BRAVADO TO GET BRAVE AND TOUGH AND DO THE BIG JOB BUT IT CAN CATCH UP WITH A LITTLE BIT WHEN YOU GET INTO THE 20 BY 60.

>> THERE IT IS, 38.6 GOES INTO 13th PLACE FOR ARIELLEE AND DISUCH TIMES.

FIRST TIME 5 STAR FOR THESE TWO.

SO SHE WILL BE PLEASED WITH THAT.

KNOWING THAT YOU ARE SAT ON A DIFFICULT HORSE AND GOING INTO THE ARENA.

THAT HAS GOT TO BE A PRETTY GOOD FEELING.

>> YEAH, EXACTLY.

I MEAN HE IS, THERE IS A LONG WAY TO GO AND THERE SAY HUGE PARTNERSHIP THERE.

AND YOU KNOW FOR ME GOING INTO A BIG COMPETITION SOMETIMES HAVING THAT RELATIONSHIP AND LENGTH OF TIME AND KIND OF KNOWING WHAT THE DEVIL IS IS BETTER THAN NOT KNOWING HIM AT ALL, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I AM SAYING.

>> THAT SPELLS TROUBLE FOR ME.

FAIR FAX LOOKS AT 39, 38, GO AND HAVE A VISIT TO THEM AND LOOK AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT-HAND CORNER OF YOUR SCREEN, EVERYONE LOVES A BARGAIN, BUY ONE GET ONE FREE.

>> WHO KNOWS WHAT THAT BUY ONE IS BUT WILL YOU GET THE SECOND ONE FREE.

>> EXACTLY.

>> WE'RE GOING SHOPPING.

I'M VER GRATEFUL TO BE SPONSORED BY FAIRFAX AND FAVOR, THRILL THALD THEY ARE HERE.

NEXT TO START, DOWN THIS CENTER LINE, I LOVE THIS VIEW FROM OUR WIDE ANGLE CAMERA.

IT IS JUST BEAUTIFUL LOOKING OUT ACROSS THESE WONDERFUL GREEN FIELDS AND ALL OF THIS.

WE KNOW IT HAS BEEN BULL DOZENED AND MADE INTO WHAT IT IS TODAY.

LOOK AT THAT.

IT IS JUST LUSH GRASS.

IT IS BEAUTIFULLY MANICURED WITHIN AN INCH OF ITS LIFE.

AND IT IS FANTASTIC.

I MEAN IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN HERE AND YOU HAVEN'T BEEN IN YOUR LOCAL, PLEASE COME TOMORROW.

HAVE A LOOK ON THE WEBSITE.

>> YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE LITTLE POND IS THERE, WHERE THE WATER HOLE IS.

ALL THE GRASS THAT IS RIGHT AROUND THAT, THAT IS WHAT THE TERRAIN USED TO BE.

AND LOOK AROUND IT, AND THAT IS WHAT ST NOW STRKS JUST INCREDIBLE.

>> TALKING OF GROUNDS.

THIS IS CAMPGROUND AND EM-- EMILY CANARA.

>>ER INCANARA-- KANARA WITH CAMPGROUND, 16 YEAR OLD.

THIS IS OWNED BY BREAD BY ALEX RANKIN AND LOUIS WRIGHT OWNED BY MARNIE KELLY.

A VERY GOOD HORSE FOR ERIN.

>> WE ALREADY SAW HER THIS MORNING IN THE 3 STAR AND EXCITED TO HAVE HER BACK OUT HERE AGAIN WITH HER LONG TIME COMPANION, GIDEON AS IS HE KNOWN IN THE STABLES.

HE IS A VERY BRIEFY THOROUGHBRED.

LOVELY HORSE, BEEN AROUND THE TOP LEVEL FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND THIS IS HIS SECOND TIME AROUND THE MARYLAND 5 STAR TRACK.

DEFINITELY A CONTENDER FOR THE TOP TEN, A NEAR FLAWLESS CROSS COUNTRY RECORD AND IFER INCAN KEEP-- ERIN CAN KEEP HIM IN ITS LOW 30S SHE WILL BE A TOP CONTENDER AT THIS YEAR'S COMPETITION.

THEY SCO THAT FULL HALF PAST ACROSS THE ARENA, FROM THE QUARTER LINE AND THEN WE HAVE OUR EXTENDED TROD, AND THEN WE MIRROR IT THE OTHER DIRECTION SO WE HAVE THIS NICE LONG MEDIUM DOWN TOWARDS THE JUDGES, THIS IS A GOOD, SHE LOSES A LITTLE RHYTHM AS SHE IS TRYING TO KICK HIM UP INTO THAT NEXT GEAR, ERIN SITS SO WELL THAT HER PICTURE DOESN'T GET DISTURBED AND IT IS SILLY TO KNOW THERE SAY LITTLE RHYTHM LOSS.

THE HORSE ACTUALLY FINDS HIS BALANCE IN ERIN AND MANAGED TO RECOVER IN THAT MEDIUM.

>> NICE BRING BACK AND THEN WE'VE GOT THE WALK.

IT'S VERY RELAXED IN HIS WORK.

AGAIN HE IS NO STRANGER TO THIS ARENA.

SO WE WOULD HOPE AT THIS STAGE HE IS EASING INTO THE WORK.

BUT SOMETIMES ATTENTION WILL STAY BUT HE SEEMS QUITE RELAXED THUS FAR.

ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL JOB DONE BY OUR GROOMS BACK IN THE STABLES THAT I'M SURE ARE STANDING OVER WATCHING THEIR HORSE, WATCHING THEIR RIDER, HOLDING THEIR BREATHE.

AGAIN HERE ERIN CAREFULLY PICKS THE HORSEBACK UP, SHE DID THAT VERY SMOOTHLY.

SOMETIMES THAT IS THE TRICKIEST PART IS GOING FROM THAT EXTENDED WALK BACK TO YOUR MEDIUM WALK BACK TO THE CANTOR.

THEN HERE WE GO, WE'VE GOT A LITTLE TENSION THERE.

WE SAW THAT WHEN SHE WAS KANTDORRING OUTSIDE THE ARENA.

WE SAW HIM GET A LITTLE IRSTATED.

AND AGAIN THESE HORSES SOMETIMES IT IS WHERE THEY HOLD THEIR TENSION.

YOU CAN SEE HE REALLY HOLDS IT ACROSS HIS BACK AND IT COMES OUT IN THE TALE THERE A LITTLE BITMENT YOU CAN SEE THE TALE GET STRAIGHT AND START TO SWISH AND IT REALLY, THAT DOES, THIS TYPE OF WAY THAT HE IS CARRYING HIMSELF DOES HIGHLIGHT THE TENSION HE HAS ACROSS HIS BACK.

AND WHEN ERIN ASKS HIM TO GO FORWARD IT COMES OUT IN ALL THE COLORS BUT THE LATERAL WORK THERE IS QUITE NICE.

AND WE'LL SEE IF THAT HELPS SOFTEN HIM UP A LITTLE BIT FOR THIS NEXT LENGTHENING.

>> THERE, SHE CAN KEEP HIM A LITTLE MORE BENTD TO KEEP HIM A LITTLE BIT SOFTER OVER THE TOP.

>> SHE COMES THROUGH A TURN FROM HER CHANGE.

SO AGAIN, A SMALLER STRIDED HORSE, WOULD YOU SAY ALMOST ADDS A STRIDE BEFORE THAT CHANGE, AND BEING A BIT PROTECTIVE OF IT.

BUT DOING A GOOD JOB THERE, TRYING NOT TO GIVE THE JUDGES ANYTHING TO MAKER HER DOWN FOR.

NOW WE COME TO THIS WHERE HE IS READY FOR THE STRETCH.

YOU COULD SEE HIM READY TO PUT HIS NECK DOWN BEFORE SHE EVEN LET THE REINS GO.

HE HAS A SECOND TO HAVE A LITTLE BREATHER.

AND PREPARE FOR THE LAST TWO CHANGES.

WHICH ARE VERY SIGNIFICANT.

WE TALK ABOUT A CLEAN CHANGE OR A LATE CHANGE, BOTH THE HIND LEG AND THE FRONT LEG NEED TO CHANGE IN THE SAME TIME ON THE EXACT-- OF THE RIDER, SO THAT WAS CLEAN.

AND THAT WAS CLEAN.

THOSE WERE HER TWO BEST CHANGES.

I THINK GIDEON GOT A LITTLE ALMOST CLAUSE PHOBIC ON THE CHANGES AND A LITTLE MORE WHEN HE WAS IN THE OPEN ARENA HE WAS ABLE TO BREATHE THROUGH THE CHANGES AND THEY CAME THROUGH QUITE A BIT MORE.

IT IS INTERESTING DEPENDING ON THE HORSE IF THE BOARDS HURT OR HELP, SOMETIMES HORSES GET CLAUSTROPHOBIC ON THE BOARDS, SOMETIMES THEY USE THE BOARD OS TO HELP KEEP THEM STRAIGHTS.

NICE HALT THERE.

>> ERIN KANARA WITH CAMPGROUND, ANOTHER ONE TRYING TO SHAKE THE BONNET OFF.

BUT STILL LEADING, PIGGY MARCH, BROOKFIELD CAVALIER CRUISE, THE TEN YEAR OLD 5 STAR LEADS THE, MONICA SPENCER FOR NEW ZEALAND SECOND, 28.4 AND CAROLINE POWELL GOES THIRD FOR NEW ZEE AND IT IS NEW ZEALAND 2, 3 AT THE MOMENT.

WHICH IS QUIT REMARKABLE.

28.0.

AND THEN THE HIGHEST PLACED RIDER FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, JACOB FLETCHER, JACOB FIRST IN AFTER THE BREAK.

FIRST IN ON DAY TWO, 29.3, GOES SUB30 INTO FOURTH PLACE.

WELL, WHERE CAN ERIN KANARA GO WITH CAMPGROUND?

>> WE SHALL SEE.

SHE POLITELY LEAVES THE ARENA.

>> VERY SWEET AND VERY, VERY EXCITED, I EXPECT, ESPECIALLY FOR THE MAN THAT IS MAKING HIS WAY INTO THE ARENA.

THERE HE IS, A QUICK GLIMPSE OF HIM, JUST WAITING FOR THAT SCORE FOR ERIN QUAN ARA-- KANARA AND CAMPGROUND.

AND HERE ST. 38.0.

GOES INTO 12th PLACE.

159.5, 159 AND 165.5.

GIVING HER 38.0, PENALTY SCORE.

AND IN TO STth.

WELL, TWO LEFT TO GO BEFORE THE FIRST OF THE BREAKS.

AND THE ULTIMATE COMBINATION BETWEEN THE BREAK IS WILLIAM FOX-PITT, WILLIAM MADE HIS WAY OVER FROM THE U.K HE IS OFF TO THE PANNAL GAMES, FLIES THERE ON MONDAY.

WILLIAM WITH THE 11 YEAR OLD MARE GRAFENNACHT.

GRAPH ENNABBING BY BICKERHOF GRAPHEN STOLZ.

HE HAS WON MULTIPLE OLYMPIC GAMES, MEDALS, TEAM SILVER IN ATHENS, TEAM SILVER IN LONDON, 2012.

AND TEAM BRONZE IN BELGIUM-- BELGIUM, IN BEIJING BACK IN 20089.

-- 2008, 16 GOLDS AT EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP LEVEL AND 14, THAT IS 1-4, 14, 5 STAR WINS.

THREE KENTUCKYS.

TWO BAD MINUTESTON, SIX BURGHLEYS, TWO PAUS AND ONE LUHMUHLEN.

THIS TITLE HE WOULD LOVE TO WIN.

>> AND HOW LUCKY ARE WE, RIGHT, HOW LUCKY ARE WE TO HAVE WILLIAM HERE WHICH MIGHT BE THE TWILIGHT END OF HIS CAREER AT THIS LEVEL, ON SUCH AN EXCITING HORSE.

HE SAID THIS IS THE REASON HE IS STILL DOING IT, THIS MARE EXCITES HIM SO MUCH, AND THE OWNERS OF THIS HORSE, AMANDA GOULD AND HER HUSBAND ARE HERE TO MUCH WHAT.

IT IS SO EXCITING TO HAVE SUCH AN AMAZING ANIMAL IN YOUR LIFE AT JUST THE RIGHT TIME.

WE ARE THRILLED TO HAVE WILLIAM HERE AND ALICE, HIS WIFE OUT WATCHING AND HIS SON OLLIE HERE, IT IS A REAL FAMILY AFFAIR.

>> OLLIE WHO IS OFF TO UNIVERSITY, I THINK SOON.

>> SOUTH AFRICA FOR A COUPLE WEEKSES.

>>S ON A GAP YEAR AND THEKS YEAR ON ON TO UNIVERSITY, ISN'T HE.

ALICE IS HERE, SHE JOINED US IN THE COMMENTARY BOX YESTERDAY FOR SOME OF THE 5 STAR DRESSAGE.

WILLIAM AND MAESTRO, HAS BEEN PATH FINDER FOR SO MANY BRITISH TEAMS.

ST JUST SO EXCITING.

HE WAS AT-- THE FIELDS EARLY ON, HE LOVES COMING TO THE STATES, COMPETING IN THE STATES.

THAT WAS ON A CHANCE FLY, THIS IS ON A MARE HE THINKS AN AWFUL LOT OF.

SHE IS STILL A YOUNG ONE, SHE IS STILL ONLY 11IERS OLD.

HE HAS HAD SOME VERY, VERY GOOD FORM ON HER, GRAFENNACHT HAS BEEN GOING SUPER WELL, FINISHED SECOND IN THE NATION'S CUP A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.

HE HAS HAD A QUIET TIME WITH HER SINCE.

AND THIS MARE IS VERY CAPABLE.

AT BADMINTON IN THE SPRING SHE SCORED A 25.8.

>> WELL, SHE IS NAILING IT THUS FAR, STRUGGLING A LITTLE BIT IN THE REIN BACK BUT THAT EXTENSION ACROSS THE DIAGONAL WAS STUNNING AND RITH MIM AND NAILED THE HALL.

A LITTLE RELUCTANT TO GO BACK BUT I HONESTLY FIND THAT WITH MARES SOMETIMES.

BUT SO FAR JUST FLOWING BEAUTIFULLY WITH THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF ENERGY AND SHOWING A LOT OF MATURITY FOR HER YOUNG AGE.

BUT BEING PILOTED AROUND BY WILLIAM IS GOING TO GIVE THESE HORSES CONFIDENCE.

AND I WAS FORTS NATIONAL ENOUGH TO WORK FOR WILL AND ALICE FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

AND I FOUND THAT WAS ONE OF HIS SUPER POWERS WAS EVERY HORSE HE GOT ON HE JUST FILLED THEM WITH KF DENSE.

>> YEAH.

HE IS PRETTY PHENOMENAL AND IT MIGHT LOOK LIKE HE STIRS UP A-- SHE IS NOT AN OVERLY BIG HORSE SO HE RIDES A LITTLE BIT SHORTER THAN HE DOES A LOT OF OTHER HORSES.

AND EVEN WHEN SHE JUMPED AROUND BADMINTON IN THE MUD THIS SPRING, SHE STILL KEPT GIVING.

SHE DUCK TO THE BOTTOM OF AN ENDLESS PIT TO GET HIM AND HERSELF AROUND THAT FOR MIDDABLE TRACK.

>> YOU CAN SEE A LITTLE BIT WILLIAM HAVING TO WORK A LITTLE BIT.

SHE WANTS TO BRACE OVER THE TOP LINE AND MEDIUM AND SLIGHTLY COME UP AND LOOK WHERE SHE IS GOING AND HE IS HAVING TO DO A GOOD JOB KEEPING THAT LID ON SO THAT HE KNOWS HE HAS TO GET A MEDIUM, A HALF PAST, A CHANGE.

HE NEEDS JUST A SMIDGE MORE CONNECTION TO GET THE QUALITY WORK.

YOU CAN SEE SHE REALLY WANTS TO COME UP AND GO AND HE IS JUST KEEPING THE THUMB ON IT A LITTLE BIT.

WE WILL SEE HOW THIS CHANGE COMES THROUGH.

>> YEAH, I DON'T THINK IT WAS WHEN HE ASKED.

I THINK HE WENT TO ASK, BUT SHE HAD ALREADY OFFERED.

YOU KNOW, AND THAT SLIGHTLY BEING HER.

SHE IS A GAME BIRD.

A REAL TRYER.

>> THAT IS A BIT OF.

>> A GAME BIRD, I WAS WRITING THAT DOWN IN MY NOTES.

>> SO WE'VE GOT THE STRETCH HERE AND THEN YOU CAN FIND OF FEEL LIKE THAT WAS GOING TO BE A HARD MOVE FOR HER BECAUSE SHE STILL DOES LOOK LIKE SHE WANTS TO LOOK AROUND AND SEE THE CROWD AND THIS ARENA, IT IS NOT AS BIG OF ANARENA AS SAY KENTUCKY.

BUT THE STANDS ARE QUITE CLOSE, EVERYTHING IS QUITE CLOSE.

THE CHANGE COMES THROUGH, I COULDN'T SEE THAT ONE.

>> YEAH, NO, SHE WENT, SHE JUMPED INTO IT SLIGHTLY.

SHE IS JUST BEING A BIT OF A KEEN BEAN, THEY ARE GOOD CHANGES.

SHE IS COMING HIND LEG FIRST AND THAT IS ALL YOU ARE LOOKING FOR, IF YOU WATCH A FLYING CHANGE, WE'LL CONTINUE TO DO THAT THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

ARE YOU ALWAYS LOOKING FOR THAT HIND LEG TO COME BEFORE THE FRONT LEG.

SO THEY DO PUT THAT DOWN ON THE FLOOR FIRST AND IT IS A CLEAR, CLEAN FLYING CHANGE THEN.

>> SHE REALLY WANTS TO LOOK UP AND AROUND.

>> THAT IS THE BIGGEST CHEER OF THE DAY WE'VE HAD.

>> I THINK EVERYONE KNOWS HOW LUCKY WE ARE TO HAVE WILLIAM HERE AND WHAT A PRIVILEGE IT IS TO WATCH HIM, YOU KNOW.

EVERYONE IS STILL GOING WILD.

HOPEFULLY-- WHAT DO YOU THINK, IN THE 20S?

>> THE TROT WORK WAS BRILLIANT BUT THERE WAS SOME TENSION AND TIGHTNESS.

>> THERE WAS.

I THINK IT MIGHT JUST STRUGGLE, YOU KNOW.

IT IS GOING TO BE A TOUGH ONE BECAUSE THE TROT WORK WAS REALLY NICE.

HE MANAGED TO KEEP HER CONTAINED IN THE TROT WORK BUT IN THE CANTOR WORK IT IS ALMOST LIKE SHE HAD ENOUGH TIME TO THINK, FIND THE CANTOR WORK EASIER THAN THE TROT WORK ESPECIALLY IN THE MEDIUM AND EXTENDED CANTOR, SHE WAS-- BUT YOU AND I COULD SEE IT, AND THE JUDGES WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEE IT TOO, HOW MUCH SHE WAS HAVING TO WORK TO KEEP HER ON LINE AND TO KEEP HER BUSY ENOUGH TO STAY WITH HIM.

I MEAN WHAT DO YOU THINK?

THERE WE GO, IT IS SUB30, 26.1.

184.5, 195.5, AND SLIGHTLY AHEAD OF MY TIME, AND 196.5, GIVING WILLIAM FOX-PITT 26.1 AND GOES INTO SECOND PLACE.

>> YOU KNOW, AND I THINK THAT IS, AGAIN LOOKING FROM A JUDGE'S PERSPECTIVE YOU CAN SEE THAT HE WAS HAVING TO WORK TO KEEP THE CANTOR ORGANIZED AND THE CHANGES THROUGH.

BUT HE DID.

AND THE QUALITY OF THE STEP IS STILL SO GOOD.

AND THE CHANGES WERE AS THEY WERE A LITTLE MANUFACTURED, THEY WERE CLEAN.

AND THE TROT WORK WAS BEAUTIFUL.

SO I DO THINK THAT THOSE THINGS WERE REWARDED IN THAT WORK.

>> THEY WERE I I WAS JUST STRUGGLING TO SEE IT GOING UNDER 30, AND I'M BEING A BRIT, YOU KNOW I SHOULD BE COMPLETELY ON HIS SIDE.

BUT I THOUGHT COMPARED TO SOME OF THE TESTS WE'VE SEEN AND COMPARED TO THE WORK I KNOW THAT THAT MARE CAN DO AND HAVING WATCHED HER AT BADMINTON FOR THAT 25 DRESSAGE, IT WASN'T AS GOOD AS THAT.

SO I AM DOING A COMPARABLE.

BUT YOU HAVE TO COMPARE IT TO THE FIELD.

AND HE HAS DOON A 25 IN A 5 STAR, NOW DOWN A 26, SO PROVING THAT HE IS PRETTY CONSIST ENTS AND SHE IS PRETTY CONSISTENT AT THIS LEVEL STVMENT GREAT BRITAIN 1, 2T IS NEW ZEALAND 3, 4.

WE DON'T HAVE AN AMERICAN ON THE BOARD AT THE MOIMENT.

WE NEED ONE THERE.

CAN THIS LADY DO IT.

JENNIE BRANNIGAN.

JENNIE WITH TWILIGHTSLASTGLEAM, 13 YEAR OLD BY NATIONAL ANTHEM, ROYAL CHILD IS THE DAM.

NINA GARDNER THE OWNER BREEDER OF THIS 13 YEAR OLD CHESTNUT GELDING.

NOW WHAT CAN JENNIE DO.

WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE AN AMERICAN IN THE MIX, THE TOP FOUR PLACES ARE OCCUPIED BY GREAT BRITAIN AND BY NEW ZEALAND.

GREAT BRITAIN ONE, TWO, NEW ZEALAND THREE, FOUR.

JENNIE BRANNIGAN WITH TWILIGHTSLASTGLEAM HAS HAD A VERY LONG PARTNERSHIP THAT CONQUERED THE EVENTING WORLD.

THIS WILL BE THE PAIR'S FIRST OUTING SINCE THE LAND ROVER KENTUCKY, 5 STAR BACK IN APRIL.

ONE OF A FEW HOME BREDS HERE.

COMIC AS THIS GELLING IS KNOWN, BREAD BY NIPA AND TIM GARDNER AND THEY HAVE BEEN BREEDING THOROUGHBREDS FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS, THE OWNER/BREEDERS.

>> SO JUST A LITTLE TROT INTO THAT HALT TRANSITION.

SO THAT WILL MARTHA VERY STRAIGHT AND POSITIVE ENTRANCE BUT THIS FULL THOROUGHBRED HORSE DID QUITE WELL IN THE YOUNG HORSE PROGRAM.

AND THE YOUNG HORSE CHAMPIONSHIPS HERE.

AND HAS BEEN PART OF JENNIE'S STRING SINCE I THINK-- SINCE HE WAS A FOUR YEAR OLD.

AGAIN HUGE SUPPORTERS IN NINA AND TIM GARDNER, VERY EXCITING TO SEE THIS HORSE OUT HERE.

VERY FAST ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

AND VERY POLITE, VERY OBEDIENT HERE, VERY WELL TRAINED, AGAIN IT WOULDN'T HAVE THE MOVEMENT AS SOME OF THE OTHER HORSES BUT YOU CAN MAKE UP FOR THAT WITH A LOT OF HEART.

AND I THINK THIS HORSE AND JENGIE AS A PAIR HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO KEEP UP WITH THOSE GUYS.

SHE MOVES AROUND, THEY TURN ON TO THIS QUARTER LINE AND FIND THEMSELVES SHOULDER IN AND HALF PAST ACROSS THE ARENA BACK TO THE BOARDS.

>> VERY CORRECT AND EASY IN THE ANGLE THERE.

GREAT SHOT FROM BEHIND.

YOU CAN SEE THE SWING IN THE HIPS.

THIS HORSE HAS A GREAT OUTLINE.

SHE MOVES ACROSS FOR THE MEDIUM AND AGAIN GOOD STEPS HERE FOR A HORSE THAT DOESN'T HAVE A NATURAL MEDIUM STEP.

THAT IS REALLY, REALLY NICE.

THE TOP LINE STAYS UP, THE RHYTHM STAYS GOOD.

YOU WOULD LIKE FOR A LITTLE MORE PUSH AND REACH BUT EACH HORSE IS GOING TO HAVE A DIFFERENT SWING AND A PENDIUM OF WHAT IS POSSIBLE.

SO YOU LOOK FOR THE MOVE IN, THE MOVE OUT, THE RHYTHM, CONSISTENCY, THE FLOW AND JENNY HAS REALLY MASTERED THAT MOVEMENT.

AND YOU KNOW, WE TALKED ABOUT IT A LITTLE BIT YESTERDAY.

AND FOR EACH HORSE THAT GOES IN THE ARENA YOU KNOW WHERE THE STRONG PARTS ARE GOING TO BE.

WHERE THE STRONGEST GATE IS.

AND WHAT PARTS OF THE TESTS YOU WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE SOME THINGS UP AND WHERE YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THEY STAY CORRECT.

SO UNFORTUNATELY A LITTLE TENSION SHOWING THERE AND A LITTLE POPUP IN THAT WAWRKS SHE STRETCHES OUT THE TOP LINE A LITTLE BIT.

A NICE SHOT THERE.

AND YOU CAN TELL THAT SHE'S JUST REALLY BECOME QUITE A PROFESSIONAL.

YES, HE HAS HAD A LITTLE BOBBLE ALREADY BUT THAT WAS EXACTLY THAT, A LITTLE BOBBLE.

HE HAS RELAXED BACK INTO THE WORK AGAIN.

JENNIE HAS HAD A VERY BUSY SEASON COMPETING IN EUROPE, COMPETING AT BURGHLEY, BACK HERE FOR THIS, AND YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS GREAT ABOUT HAVING THAT DEPTH, NICE CHANGE THERE S THAT YOU GET THE EXPERIENCE.

BUT THE HARD THING IS THAT YOU ARE TRAVELING A LOT.

YOU ARE GONE A LOT AND THEN YOU HAVE TO COME BACK AND GET YOURSELF BACK ORGANIZED.

AND THAT IS WHERE IT IS GREAT TO HAVE A PARTNER LIKE THAT THAT YOU KNOW SO WELL, THAT YOU FEEL LIKE YOU CAN BE AWAY FOR THE WEEK, TEN DAYS AT BURGHLEY, YOU CAN BE AWAY AND ARE YOU REALLY COUNTING ON YOUR TEAM AT HOME TO KEEP THE FORCES HIT-- KEEP THE HORSES FIT, STRONG AND ULTIMATELY KEEP THEM HAPPY.

>> YOU CAN SEE THERE SHE DOESN'T HAVE A SPUR ON.

AND IT USED TO BE MANDATORY THAT YOU HAD A SPUR, I THINK AT 3 STAR OR ABOVE AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE RULES THAT CHANGED.

SOME HORSES, ESPECIALLY CHESTNUT, WHETHER THEY ARE CHESTNUT OR THOROUGHBRED OR MARE, SOMETIMES THEY HAVE THAT FAIRY OR SENSITIVE SKIN AND THAT SPUR IS SOMETHING THEY JUST DON'T NEED.

AGAIN IT IS THOSE LITTLE DETAILS, YOU WOULD THINK AT THIS LEVEL WHAT IS A LITTLE SPUR.

BUT IT CAN MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE.

THEY ARE REALLY SUPERSTRETCHED THERE, THAT IS PRETTY AWESOME.

AGAIN SHOWING THE CLASS.

THIS IS THE HORSE'S GAIT, THE CANTOR IS THIS HORSE'S BEST GAIT.

>> JENNIE DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE JENNIE JUST SITTING A LITTLE BIT QUIETER IN THOSE FLYING CHANGES BECAUSE I THINK THIS HORSE WOULD ACTUALLY DO THE CHANGES AS WELL WITHOUT SO MUCH OF A TWIS IN THE BODY AND I THINK THAT SOMETIMES GOES DOWN TOO GETTING INTO A BIT OF A HABIT TWNS IS KIND OF LIKE CROSS COUNTRY RIDING, YOU JUST WANT TO BE SURE.

AND THEN IT CAN ACTUALLY TAKE AWAY A LITTLE BIT FROM THE OVERALL.

SHE DID GET THE CLEAN CHANGE.

CROWD IS REALLY SHOWING UP OUT HERE, IT IS SO EXCITING FOR THIS EVENT TO COME OUT AND WATCH RIDERS LIKE WILLIAM FOX-PITT, JENNIE, CAROLINE AND PIGGY YESTERDAY, TO LISTEN THE CROWD EXCITED AND INVOLVED.

IT SHOWS HOW EDUCATED THE CROWD IS, THEY KNOW WHO THE RIDERS ARE, THEY KNOW WHO THEY ARE WATCHING, IT IS SO NEAT TO HAVE, ESPECIALLY THIS AREA WHICH IS STEEPED IN HORSES AND IN TRADITION.

>> AND LET'S NOT FORGET THAT THIS AFTERNOON, AFTER THE BREAK, SO PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DON'T GO ANYWHERE BECAUSE AFTER THE BREAK WE HAVE THE WORLD NUMBER ONE AND WE HAVE A FORMER WINNER OF THE MARS MAIRPD 5 STAR PRESENTED BY BROWN ADVISORY IN BOYD MARTIN.

HE WILL BE LAST TO GO THE WORLD NUMBER ONE GRET BRITAIN OLIVER TOWNEND WILL BE THIRD OUT OF THE STARTING BLOCKS AFTER THE BREAK.

BUT WE AWAIT THE SCORE OF JENNIE BRANNIGAN AND TWILIGHTSLASTGLEAM, THE 13 YEAR OLD BY NATIONAL ANTHEM.

>> YOU KNOW AND AGAIN WE THINK AT THIS LEVEL 13 IS STILL VERY MUCH AT THE BEGINNING OF THEIR CAREER.

THESE HORSES CAN RUN UNTIL THEY ARE 19 YEARS OLD.

>> ERIC DE VANDER, LONG TIME COACH OF JENNIE, PREVIOUS COACH OF THE US TEAM STILL HAS A HUGE HAND IN A LOT OF THESE RIDERS, HE WORKS DIRECTLY WITH JENNIE, DIRECTLY WITH TAMMIE SMITH, WE HAVE SEEN HIM WITH A FEW OTHER RIDERS THIS WEEKEND, CAROLINE MARTIN.

THERE WE G THE SCORE.

>> THE SCORE IN FOR JENNIE BRANNIGAN AND TWILIGHTSLASTGLEAM, 168, 170.5, 168.5.

35.0.

GOES INTO 12th PLACE.

LET'S HAVE A LOOK AT BROWN VIDZRY-- ADVISELY LEADERBOARD SO FAR.

IT IS GREAT BRITAIN DOMINATING THAT LEADERBOARD, PIGGY MARCH AND BROOKFIELD CAVALIER CRUISE, WILLIAM FOX-PITT GRAFENNACHT IN SECOND, MONICA SPENCER IN THIRD ON A SCORE OF 38.4, GREENACRES SPECIAL CAVALIER, CAROLINE POWELL FOUR, NEW ZEALAND.

ONE, TWO GREAT BRITAIN, THREE, FOUR NEW ZEALAND, FIVE IS THE YOUNG FOR U.S.A. JACOB FLETCHER, IN FIFTH PLACE 29.3, ALL TO PLAY FOR THIS AFTERNOON, STILL MORE TO COME.

THERE IS THE MAN THAT GOES LAST, MR. BOYD MARTIN.

WHO RIDES CONTESSA, THE WORLD NUMBER ONE, OLIVER TOWNEND IN THERE AS WELL.

WE'RE BACK AT 10 PAST 3:00.

JOIN US THEN.

A WELCOME BACK, THE SUN IS SHINING, WE HAVE SMILING.

S THREE TWO ONE AFTER THE DRESSAGE SO FAR WITH ONE SECTOR LEFT TO GO, IN THIRD PLACE FOR NEW ZEALAND MONICA SPENCER AND ARTIST, REALLY DID PULL OUT ALL THE STOPS.

POLISHED PERFORMANCE IN THE WHITE BOARDS AT THE DRESSAGE.

SO ONE OF OUR FIRST TO GO SUB 30 ON 28.4, THIS AFTERNOON WE SAW THE 14 TIME FORMER 5 STAR WINNER WILLIAM FOX-PITT, AND GRAFENNACHT, THE MARE THAT PERFORMED SO WELL AT BADMINTON, AGAIN PERFORMED BRILLIANTLY, BEST HOOVE FORWARD HERE AT THE MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR TO SIT IN SECOND ON 26.1.

YESTERDAY'S LEADER STILL LEADING GREAT BRITAIN'S PIGGY MARCH AND THE FIRST TIME 5 STAR DEB TENANT STRKS BROOKFIELD CAVALIER CRUISE ON 24.2 A THRIMMED PIGGY.

WHY WOULDN'T SHE BE.

WELL, ALL TO PLAY FOR THIS AFTERNOON T IS VERY, VERY EXCITING HERE THIS CROWDS BUILDING, BUT LEADING A FEW MOMENTS AGO IT WAS NEW ZEALANDER CAROLINE POWELL AND FRANKIE CAUGHT UP WITH HER A REALLY GREAT DAY FOR NEW ZEALAND AND GREAT WEEK FOR YOU, COMING OVER FOR THIS EVENT IN MARYLAND, TALK ABOUT YOUR TEST T LOOKED BEAUTIFUL.

>> I WAS REALLY PLEASED WITH IT, SHE GOT A W-E-E BIT TIGHT BUT KEPT IT COOL, SHE IS ONLY TEEN SO WE CAN ONLY IMPROVE ON WHAT WE HAVE DONE WHICH IS GREAT.

>> WITH A YOUNG HORSE LIKE THIS COMING AND MAKING THE DECISION TO TRAVEL QUITE A WAYS TO BE HERE FOR THIS EVENT WHAT WAS YOUR THINKING BEHIND THAT.

>> RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR WE DECIDED TO TARGET MARYLAND AND IAN DOES A REALLY GOOD, STRONG COURSE AND IT WAS ALWAYS JUST WE WERE GOING TO BE BE HERE.

AND SHE MADE T WE GOT HER ON THE PLANE AND ARRIVED AND THE DRESSAGE DONE SO WE ARE TAKING THE DAY OFF, SHE HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC THE WHOLE TIME AND FINGERS CROSSED FOR TOMORROW.

>> LASTLY TOMA LOT OF WORK OUT THERE, YOUR THOUGHTS.

>> IT IS NICE.

THERE IS A LOT OF THINGS WE'VE NOT SEEN BEFORE BUT EXERCISES WE'VE SEEN BEFORE T IS JUST ABOUT PUTTING THE POWER AND SPEED AND ENDURANCE INTO IT.

I THINK THE WATER AT THE END IS PRETTY MASSIVE BUT WE'LL SEE WHAT WE DO.

>> WE'RE EXCITED TO WATCH IT, GOOD LUCK.

>> THANKS VERY MUCH.

>> UH-HUH.

>> A VERY GOOD TO HEAR FROM NEW ZEALANDER CAROLINE POWELL.

SHE IS ALWAYS FABULOUS TO INTERVIEW AND GREAT AMBASSADOR FOR THE SPORT.

TALKING OF AMBASSADORS FOR THE SPORT, WE'RE SO LUCK-- LUCKY TO HAVE MARS HERE AS TITLE SPONSORS OF THE MARYLAND 5 STAR.

THEY PLAY A HUGE PART IN THE DAY TO DAY RUNNING AND THE SUPPORT THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND INTO THE COMPETITION THAT RUNS.

SO TO HAVE THIS RIGHT HERE MARS IS PROUD TO BE A PART OF IT.

AND IT REALLY DOES GO HAND-IN-HAND WITH OUR MISSION TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE FOR HORSES, PETS AND THE PEOPLE WHO LOVE THEM.

>> THE MARYLAND HORSE LIBRARY AND EDUCATION CENTER OFFERS A SPECIAL COLLECTION OF OVER 5,000 EQUINE RELATED VOLUMES.

I SAW HER DAD OUT YESTERDAY.

HE WAS HELPING WITH THE SHUTTLE SERVICE AND VOLUNTEERING AND JUST DOING THAT WORK AND SAID HE IS ALSO BEING A DAD.

>> BRILLIANT, 14 YEARS OLD THIS CHESTNUT GELDING OUT OF LOIS LANE AND LePRIMEUR.

LAURIE CAMERON OWNER.

>> AND LAURIE CAMERON A HUGE CONTRIBUTOR TO U.S. EVENTING, BREEDING, GREAT ASSET TO OUR SPORT, TO OUR RIDERS, SHE HAS BRED SOME PHENOMENAL HORSES AND IT IS SO AWESOME FOR HER TO BE PARTNERED WITH SIDNEY AND HAVING THIS YOUNG-- SYD KNEE HAVE THIS A MADING HORSE, THIS IS QUITE A FIRECRACKER OF A MARE AND WE HAVE SEEN EXCITING THINGS IN THE ARENA, IN THE JUMPING, YOU KNOW, AND NOW JUST WATCHING THIS IS BEAUTIFUL, AND IT JUST SHOWS WHAT A PARTNERSHIP THESE TWO HAVE DEVELOPED OVER ITS LAST SEVERAL YEARS.

>> LET'S HOPE THEY CAN KEEP IT TOGETHER BECAUSE I KNOW THE DRESSAGE IS, HAVING A GOOD LOOK AROUND, TAKING A PHOTO AND THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A GREAT PHOTO OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PHOTOGRAPHERS.

AS SHE COMES IN TO HER WALK.

NOW I KNOW THIS MARE, THIS WILL BE HER WEAKEST PHASE, THE DRESSAGE, BECAUSE SHE IS A GREAT JUMPER, VERY BOLD AND BRAVE, CROSS COUNTRY, I FEEL LIKE GETTING UP AND DOING A LITTLE-- YOU CAN HEAR THE MUSIC.

ANYWAY, I DIGRESS.

THE MARE, HER CANTOR, SHE IS HAVING A LOVELY LOOK AROUND.

>> YEAH, HELLO.

>> HI.

>> SHE IS ENJOYING THE MEEMENT.

SHE IS GOING TO BE IN THIS ARENA.

SHE WANTS TO SPEND THE TIME AND PLEASANT EXPRESSION, SHE JUST DOESN'T WANT TO PUT HER HEAD DOWN.

>> NO, SHE WILL HAVE A LOOK AT THESE PHOTOGRAPHERS AGAIN.

ONE CAUGHT HER EYE, WINK WINK.

AND THERE, SYD JUST KIND OF, YOU KNOW, AND SYDNEY KNOW THIS MARE WELL ENOUGH TO KNOW WHEN TO CRACK DOWN ON HER AND.

>> THIS IS WHERE SHE CAN GET A LITTLE BIT EXCITED IN THE FLYING CHANGES.

YEAH, NOT AS EXCITED AS I HAVE SEEN HER, SO THAT WAS A PRETTY GOOD ONE FOR THE FIRST ONE.

KEEP IT TOGETHER.

ST IT IS THE CANTOR WORK THAT REALLY UPSETS HER FOR SOME REASON, BECAUSE SHE IS SUCH A LOVELY MARE.

SHE HAS A GREAT PERSONALITY.

AND THERE WERE A COUPLE OF HORSES YESTERDAY, IF YOU PUT THEM IN TO HUMAN IS TERM, THERE WOULD BE A COUPLE THAT SAY DO YOU WANT TO GO FOR A DRINK.

NO, I HAVEN'T GOT THE STAMINA.

AND THIS MARE YOU KNOW, YOU WOULD WOULD BE LIKE YEAH, ALL RIGHT, YEAH, OKAY.

THAT WAS ANOTHER, I THINK WHAT IS HAPPENING IS THAT SYDNEY IS RIDING HER SO WELL, SHE KNOWS HER WELL AND KNOWS NOT TO PUT THE PRESSURE ON WHEN THOSE CHANGES COME UP.

IT IS MORE TO THINK THEM AND LET THEM HAPPEN, SHE IS QUITE SHARP, THIS MARE.

>> SHE IS JUST KIND OF CRUISED THROUGH THIS TEST, NEARLY AT THE END OF IT WHICH IS SHOCKING.

BUT YES, WE'VE DEFINITELY SEEN, WE'VE SEEN HER JUMPING SKILLS IN THE DRESSAGE BEFORE.

SHE IS DOING A VERY, VERY GOOD SCWOB THERE, AND YOU KNOW, SYDNEY HAS BEEN FACED WITH THE BEST OF THE BEST SO THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE HELPING HER THERE JUMP THROUGH.

>> SO THAT WAS THE FIRST JUMP.

SHE SEEMS TO LIKE THAT SECOND ONE.

AND THAT WAS BETTER.

IS IT-- NO, WE HAVEN'T GOT THERE YET.

>> HAVE WE GOT THERE?

NO, WE ARE GOING TO ADOPT-- ABORT.

ABORT, ABORT.

GOOD GIRL.

>> THEY HAS GOT A SUPER TROT.

>> A LOT OF SUPPORT FOR SYDNEY AND EARLY REVIEW.

>> AND AGAIN YOU KNOW, SYDNEY IS NOT GOING TO BE SURPRISED BY THE KIND OF BEHAVIOR AND THAT FLAIR IN THE RING.

SHE'S LEARNED TO DEAL WITH IT BEST SHE CAN.

AND COOPERATE WITH IT BEST SHE CAN.

BECAUSE OF ALL THE JUMPING THAT THIS HORSE GIVES HER AND ALL THE EXPERIENCE THAT THIS HORSE GIVES HER, SYDNEY IS YOUNG IN HER CAREER AND FORTUNATE TO BE PARTNERED WITH THIS HORSE AND LAURIE CAMERON BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO SO MANY INCREDIBLE THINGS TOGETHER.

AND NOW OUT THEY GO.

AND THEY WILL BE THINK BEING THAT MASSIVE CROSS COUNTRY TOMORROW.

IT IS INTERESTING, WHEN YOU HAVE A THURSDAY RIDE CROSS COUNTRY FEELS SO FAR AWAY, IT IS ALMOST NICE TO HAVE A FRIDAY RIDE BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME TO DWELL ON IT.

BUT BECAUSE THEY WILL BE OUT OF HERE, OUT ON THE CROSS COUNTRY, WALKING THAT CROSS COUNTRY TRACK AND ON TO SATURDAY HERE IN THE NEXT PROBABLY 20 MINUTES.

AS SOON AS SHE CAN GET OUT, SHE WILL BE OUT ON THE COURSE.

>> IS THAT A TAIL COAT.

>> THAT IS A TAIL COAT.

>> I SAID SOMETHING YOU DIDN'T KNOW.

>> I THOUGHT I HEARD THAT EXPRESSION BEFORE.

SOMEBODY SAID TO ME THE OTHER DAY ONE DAY A RUSH TO THE NEXT A FEATHER DUSTER SWI BASICALLY SOME DAYS IT IS GOOD, AND SOME DAYS IT IS NOT.

OH, IT WAS AN AUSTRALIAN TERM.

>> WE SHOULD START COMPILING THESE PHRASES.

>> WE SHOULD.

>> WELL, THERE IS THE SCORE, 45.6 GOES INTO 20th PLACE FOR SYDNEY SOLOMON AND EARLY REVIEW, 45.6, SITS THEM IN THE 209 PLACE, NUMBER 21 STARTER SO FAR.

BUT ST ALL ABOUT THE RISE FOR THIS COMBINATION.

WE KNOW THAT THE MARE FINDS THE CHANGES, SHE LIKES TO SZU THEM UP AND MAKE THEM MORE EXCITING THAN THEY REALLY NEED, NECESSARILY TO BE.

BUT IT IS HER, THERE IS OUR WORLD NUMBER ONE, OLIVER TOWNEND, IS HE IN TWO HORSES TIME, FOLLOWED IN OUR NEXT COMBINATION OLIVER WITH THE FIRST TIME 5 STAR NINE YEAR OLD COOLEY ROTA COOLEE ROSA LOANTS.

LILLIAN HEARD WOOD FIRST, SHE RIDES ITS 17 YEAR OLD LCC BARNABY.

LCC BARNABY AN IRISH HORSE, BY GUY CAV KUEFLER LADY TANJOUR, BY RAPHAEL.

LINDA KOURTNEY CADAM THE BREEDER AND WILLIAN HEARD WOOD THE OWNER.

>> AND THIS HAS HAD 12, 5 STAR STARTS, TO KEEP A HORSE SOUND AND HAPPY THIS LONG, EVERY TIME A HORSE DOES A 5 STAR IT IS LIKE DOING A TRIATHLON, IT TAKES SOME RECOVERY.

BUT THIS PHASE, BARNABY AS WE CALL HIM IN THE BARN, WOULD NOT BE BARNABY'S FAVORITE PHASE BUT LILLIAN HAS WORKED TIRELESSLY AT THIS PHASE TOIM PROVE IT AND GET ITS BEST MARKS SHE POSSIBLY CAN BUT IS QUITE DISAPPOINTING THERE BREAKING INTO THE CANTOR WHEN IS HE MEANT TO JUST BE TROTTING.

SO UNFORTUNATE WHEN THEY GET INTO THAT HABIT BECAUSE IT'S VERY DIFFICULT, YOU CAN SEE SHE'S TRYING TO GET HIM JUST TO TAKE A BREATHE AND JUST TROT AND JUST LET THAT OUT A LITTLE BIT AND EVERY TIME SHE GOES TO SOFTEN HE GOES UP INTO THE CANTOR.

>> WE CAN GET A NICE SHOT OF THAT ANGLE.

YOU CAN SEE THE CLEAR 3 TRACKS OF THE SHOULDER AS SHE MOVES INTO HER HALF PASS ACROSS THE ARENA.

AND THEN SHE COMES AROUND AND WILL MIRROR THAT MOVE AGAIN TURNING ON TO THE QUARTER LINE HERE, VERY CORRECT SHOULDER IN MOVING TOO THE HALF PASS, AND AGAIN IT'S A GREAT SHOT THERE.

YOU CAN REALLY SEE THE MOBILITY OF THE HORSES HIPS AND THE SWING THROUGH THE TAIL.

AND FINALLY TAKING A BREATHE.

YOU CAN SEE THE REINS HAVE GOTTEN SOFTER, A LITTLE LONGER IN HIS STRIDE.

>> SO JUST BEEN CORRECTED, IT IS NOT-- SHE DID RUM LUHMUHLEN, SO HER SECOND 5 STAR, JUST BEEN TOLD OFF AGAIN.

>> WE ARE LIVE HERE AND HUMAN.

WE DON'T GET IT RIGHT ALL THE TIME, THAT'S FOR SURE.

THE BIT SHE HAS IS A-- BIT T IS NOT METAL, A VERY SOFT PLIABLE BIT AND A LOT OF THE HORSES, YOU KNOW, THEY REALLY LIKE IT, IT IS VERY SOFT AND WHEN YOU HAVE A HORSE LIGHT IN THE CONNECTION IT ALLOWS THEM TO SIT ON THE CONTACT A LITTLE SOFTER.

I HAVE CERTAINLY HAD A FEW THAT REALLY DISLIKE THE METAL BIT.

WHETHER THEY HAVE, THE WAY THAT THEIR TONGUE SITS OR JAW SITS, IT THIS IS JUST A KINDER FOR SOME HORSES.

>> I HAD ONE THAT DIDN'T LIKE METAL.

AND I HAD TO DRESSAGE HIM IN A JOINTED NAIVE AND THEN SHOW JUMP IN A HAKAMORE WHICH I FOUND REALLY DIFFICULT.

AND THEN CROSS COUNTRY, IN A NAIF AS WELL AS MUCH AS I COULD.

-- IN A NAIVE AS WELL, IT IS A LITTLE LIKE YOU AND I IN OUR LIKES AND DISLIKES AND COMFORTS AND DISCOMFORTS.

>> AND IT IS OUR JOB AS THE RIDERS TO LISTEN TO THE FEEDBACK.

THEY ARE DOING IT ALL THE TIME.

THEY LAUGH A A A LOT F ONLY THE HORSES COULD TALK, THEY ARE ALL THE TIME, PRETTY OF ALL THE TIME, WE ARE KIND OF GLAD THEY CAN'T AT TIMES.

THEY LET YOU KNOW, HE LOOKS VERY COMFORTABLE WITH LILLIAN, HE LOOKS A LOT MORE SETTLED.

YOU CAN SEE IN THE CHANGE, LILLIAN GAVE HIM A LITTLE SPACE, LIGHTENED HER SEAT A BIT AND WE WILL SEE HOW THIS NEXT CHANGE COMES THROUGH AS SHE ORGANIZES HIM AROUND THE TURN.

>> I MEAN THIS HORSE IF YOU THINK ABOUT HIS CAREER, 11 YEARS HE'S BEEN EVENTING.

12 TIMES HE'S DONE A 5 STAR.

I MEAN THAT IS SOME RECORD.

AND TO KEEP HIM AT THE TOP OF HIS GAME FOR THIS LONG WITH ALL OF THE INJURIES THAT THESE HORSES PICK UP, I MEAN THAT IS JUST REMARKABLE.

>> IT IS REALLY INCREDIBLE.

LILLIAN AND RYAN HAVE PURCHASED A FARM.

SHE IS BASED WITH BOYD MARTIN FOR A LONG LONG TIME, JUST PURCHASED A FARM IN PENNSYLVANIA AND GOING OUT ON THEIR OWN T IS SO INCREDIBLE.

A GREAT GROUP OF OWNERS, HORSES COMING UP.

SO TO CONSISTENTLY BE AT THE TOP LEVEL OF THE SPORT IS SO IMPORTANT.

AND BEAUTIFUL CHANGE THERE.

AND THIS IS SNORE ONE, WE SAW THAT WITH ERIN CANARA'S HORSE, IN THE OPEN SPACE FELT THEY HAD A LITTLE MORE TIME TO BREATHE THROUGH THE CHANGES.

>> SHE TURNS NOW TO HER FINAL CENTER LINE, SUPER FRUSTRATING THE BEGINNING PART OF THAT TEST.

IT JUST TOOK A LITTLE BIT TO GET GOING, AND ST IS UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE WITH A HORSE LIKE BARNABY WHO LACKS A LITTLE BIT IN THE MOVEMENT AND A LITTLE BIT IN THE PRESENTATION, YOU ARE REALLY TRYING NOT TO HAVE ANY MISTAKES BECAUSE HE IS NOT GOING TO GET THE BIG MARKS.

HE IS SNOT GOING TO BE ON THE 8S AND 9S SO YOU WANT YOUR SOLID 7S, 6.5, BUT UNFORTUNATELY SHE WILL HAVE A FEW LOW MARKS IN THE BEGINNING THAT WILL KEEP HER FROM EARNING THAT TOP SPOT.

>> THAT WAS A REAL SHAME BECAUSE THESE TWO, I MEAN THEY HAVE BEEN SO CONSISTENT.

HE REALLY DOESN'T OWE HER ANYTHING, IS HE 17 YEARS OLD NOW AND STILL LOOKS LIKE A SPRING CHICKEN, HE LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS, TESTAMENT TO LILLIAN, THE WHOLE TEAM BEHIND HER FOR KEEPING THIS HORSE IN TIP TOP CONDITION FOR THE LAST DECADE AND A COUPLE OF YEARS.

BECAUSE HE STILL LOOKS, I THINK AS GOOD AS HE HAS EVER LOOKED IN HIS CAREER.

HE REALLY DOES.

HIS COAT IS GLEAMING, HIS BRAIDS, I MEAN HE JUST LOOKS FANTASTIC.

>> IT'S INTERESTING TOO BECAUSE EVERYTHING HAS A PLUS AND MINUS, THE HORSE ISN'T THE BIGGEST MOVER, NOT THE MOST E TRAF GANT, LIGHTER, EASIER, NOT THIS BIG MASSIVE MOVING THING THAT SOMETIMES CAN BE A BIT HARD ON THEMSELVES.

>> YEAH.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

>> WELL, WELL DONE TO LILLIAN HEARD WOOD, AND LCC BARNABY, 17 YEAR OLD AND THERE IS THE SCORE, 36.4, GOES INTO 14th PLACE.

>> AND I THINK SHE'S GOING TO BE REALLY PLEASED WITH THAT SCORE.

THERE IS A LOT YOU CAN DO WITH THAT, ESPECIALLY FOR THE DISRUPTIONS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE TRACK.

THIS IS A BIG FIELD AND HONESTLY I WOULD BE HAPPY TO BE SITTING ON BARNABY HEADING OUT ON THE CROSS COUNTRY.

RYAN WOOD HAS BEEN WALKING BEHIND AND HERE IS THE ONE THAT CAN CHALLENGE THE TOP OF THE BOARD.

>> I WATCHED THIS HORSE IN THE ARENA, FAMILIARIZATION LAST NIGHT WITH YOU.

AND WE WERE BOTH WOW, CAROLYN WAS HERE, ERODE CENTER LINE, AND A FEW OF THE MOVEMENTS, HE IS OF COURSE THE WORLD NUMBER ONE, MEMBER OF THE TEAM GOLD MEDAL WINNING TEAM THAT WON IN TOKYO FOR GREATS BRITAIN.

HE HAS WON EUROPEAN GOLD MEDALS, EUROPEAN SILVERS AND HE HAS WON 5 STARS.

5 STARS INCLUDING BADMINTON, BURGHLEY AND BALANCEAMAR CLASS, WON THE KENTUCKY 5 STAR, COOLEE MASTER CLASS TWICE, OLIVER THREE TIMES ON ITS BOUNCE WITH BALANCEAMORE, 2018, 19, MISSED 20 BECAUSE OF COVID AND 21, AND THE REINING CHAMPION, WE LOVE TO WIN THIS ONE AND HE HAS A FAR CRACK AT THE WHIP AS WELL.

BECAUSE THIS MARE JUMPED HERSELF AROUND THE 5 STAR, SHE HAD ONE LITTLE BLIP THERE LAST YEAR.

SHE WON THE YOUNG HORSE CLASS AT BLENHAM JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO.

SHE COMES HERE WITH PERFECT, PERFECT PREMTIONS, THIS MARE BY ROSELIER, OWNED BY PAUL RIDGEON, CURRENT WORLD NUMBER ONE.

>> REALLY NICE ENTRANCE, COUPLE TROLT STEPS INTO THE HALTS BUT MAINLY SEEN BY ITS E JUDGE, MIGHT NOT SEE IT AT THE FRONT REALLY RIDING FOR IT.

THE HORSE SCORED 24.7 AT BLENHAM, BUT HAS HAD SOME TENSION OF STRETCH AND DRESSAGE IN A FEW TESTS BEFORE SO YOU CAN SEE, I THINK ALL IS GOING TO LET THAT HAPPEN ONCE OR TWICE AND WILL GO HOME AND DOT HOMEWORK AND YOU CAN SEE LIGHT NOW EVEN FOR SUCH A YOUNG HORSE THE CLASS IS JUST OOZING AND LIKE YOU SAID, THE PRESENTATION HAS BEEN DONE AND NOW ALL HE HAS GOT TO DO IS PERFORM AND SHOWCASE THE WORK.

OLT I VER WE WATCH HIM IN THE DRESSAGE, HE NEVER FOUND IT VERY EASY, HE HAS WORKED REALLY, REALLY HARD IN THAT PHASE BECAUSE HE REALIZES THAT IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT THE JUMPING.

IT IS ABOUT ALL THREE PHASES.

YOU'VE GOT TO DO A GOOD DRESSAGE THESE DAYS.

SHE IS WEARING A NOSE NET, QUITE A SENSITIVE MARE.

AND THAT HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN ALLOWED BY THE FEI GRAND JURY, NOT QUITE SQUARE, A LITTLE BIT QUICK TO REIN BACK IN HER STEPS.

BUT THAT IS ONE MOVEMENT, NOW THAT ONE MOVEMENT MIGHT MEAN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WINNING AND LOSING OLD INVESTOR IS CURRENTLY SITING ON A 21.7.

>> THE QUALITY OF GAITS ARE IMPECCABLE SO IF THERE IS NOT A MISTAKE SHE IS ON AN 8.5, SHE COULD EVEN BE ON A 9, IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE ITS SCORES ACROSS IN THAT EXTENDED TROT BECAUSE IT WAS TUNNING.

SO YOU ARE ALREADY STARTING ON AN 8 OR A 9 WHEN YOU COME IN THE ARENA.

IT IS YOURS TO TAKE, OLIVER IS NO STRANGER TO LAYING THE GAUNTLET DOWN, IS HE GOING IN FOR THE WIN.

IT WASN'T THE CLEANEST PICK UP FROM THE WALK TO THE KANT OR, SHE COULD HAVE BEEN CLEANER BUT WE'RE BEING REALLY, REALLY CRITICAL NOW BECAUSE THIS TEST IS I THINK THE BEST WE'VE SEEN SO FAR.

HALF A SMIDGE LIGHTS IN THAT FLYING CHANGE SUPER HALF PAST, THE CENTER LINE AND THEN STRAIGHT, OLIVER IS LEAVING NOTHING TO CHANCE.

I ALWAYS SAY IF YOU ARE GOING TO GO FOR AN EXTENDED CANTOR GO FOR A BULLET OUT OF A GUN, GO FROM MARKER TO MAKERRER, SHOW THE TRANSITION, SHOW THE CLARITY, AND HE MADE HER WEIGHT FOR THAT BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO GO ONE STRIDE EARLY AND HE SAID NO, HANG ON.

IT SEEMS AFTER THE BIG MOVES, THE BIG CANTORS SHE IS ACTUALLY QUITE NICE UP AND INTO THE CONTACT.

WHEN HE GETS INTO THE SLOWER MORE COLLECTED WORK SOMETIMES SHE WANTS TO BRING HER NECK BACK AND DROP THE BIT WHICH IS WHAT YOU SAW WITH THAT HALT UP INTO THE NEXT GAIT, INTO THE CANTOR, HERE SHE IS STRETCHING, TWO CHANGES LEFT, IF HE CAN KEEP THOSE CLEAN WE MIGHT HAVE A NEW LEADER.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO SEE, HE DROPPED DOWN BECAUSE OF THOSE CHANGES.

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE STRETCH IN THE CIRCLE ESPECIALLY THE FIRST HALF, THE SECOND HALF WAS MUCH BETTER AND THE FLYING CHANGE LAID BEHIND, THIS IS GOING TO COME DOWN TO NIP AND TUCK ALL THE WAY.

OUR LEADER, 24.26789 OLIVER HAS GONE OFF THE LEADERBOARD, HE WILL COME BACK ON BUT WE'RE NOT WANTING TO SHOW EVERYBODY THAT SCORE AT THE MOMENT.

SUPER FINISH, A LOT OF APPRECIATION AROUND THE GRANDSTANDS FOR A WORLD NUMBER ONE, HE'S BEEN THERE ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION, HE WAS GREEDY TO GET BACK THERE AGAIN AN HE DID THAT WITH THE WONDERFUL HORSE THAT IS BALANCEAMORE CLASS, SHOWING CLASS AGAIN WITH A NEW KID ON THE BLOCK.

>> IT IS SO EXCITING, TO HAVE THIS DEPTH, THIS QUALITY, COMING OFF A WIN AT BURGHLEY AND HAVING THIS TO COME BACK TO T IS JUST INCREDIBLE.

AND SUCH A YOUNG HORSE.

THIS HORSE HAS 5 STAR AFTER 5 STAR WIN AFTER 5 STAR WIN AFTER 5 STAR WIN IN THE FUTURE.

AND IT IS SO EXCITING.

>> AND ALSO FOR IT TO BE A MARE AS WELL, AND I THINK ARE WE GOING TO SEE A 23?

ARE WE GOING TO SEE A 24 STRKS GREAT BRITAIN ONE, TWO S IT GOING TO BE GREAT BRITAIN ONE, TWO, THREE.

THAT I THINK IS GOING TO BE YES, SORRY.

>> APOLOGIZING TO ME BECAUSE I'M AMERICAN.

>> YOU KNOW, IT'S UNBELIEVABLE THE DEPTH THAT GREAT BRITAIN.

>> THERE WE GO.

THAT IS SCORE IS COMING IN.

WE DID THINK IT WAS GOING TO BE A 23, A 24, IT IS A 23.1, AND A NEW LEADER OLIVER TOWNEND WITH PAUL RIDGEON, COOLEE ROSA LENT.

23.1, GREAT BRITAIN ONE, TWO, THREE.

>> AND THAT IS WITH THE LATE CHANGE, RIGHT.

SO THAT IS AT LEAST A THREE OR A FOUR IN THERE AS WELL.

SO VERY, VERY IMPRESSIVE.

I THINK WE EXPECTED NOTHING LESS.

IF IS WHAT THE CROWD CAME OUT TO SEE TODAY AND OLIVER DEFINITELY DELIVERED IT IS SO EXCITING.

THIS MARE SEEMS JUST LIKE SHE IS UP FOR IT.

AND I CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH HER JUMP AROUND THE CROSS COUNTRY TOMORROW.

>> SAME.

I THINK IT WILL BE REALLY EXCITING.

AND OF COURSE OLIVER WILL BE THE FOURTH LAST OUT ON THE CROSS COUNTRY TOMORROW.

SO IT IS GOING TO REALLY BUILD THAT CLIE MAX, ISN'T IT, TO THE VERY END OF THE DAY.

WITH HIM NOW LEADING ON 23.1, OLIVER TOWN DISZ-ENDED WITH LOVELY MARE, THE 9 YEAR OLD COOLEE ROSA LENT LEADS THE MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR.

BUT FOR HOW LONG, WILL HE STAY THERE.

THERE ARE THREE LEFT TO GO, PIGGY MARCH IS IN SECOND WITH BROOKFIELD CAVALIER CRUISE, 24.2, WILL YAM FOX-PITT GRAFENNACHT THIRD, AND THEN MONICA SPENCER ARTIST IN FOURTH.

NEXT TO GO IS ZACHARY BRANDT.

ZACHARY RIDING HIS GREAT CAMPAIGNER DIRECT ADVANCE.

THESE TWO KNOW EACH OTHER VERY, VERY WELL, SECOND TRIP TO MARYLAND.

THIRD 5 STAR TOGETHER.

HOPING TO FOLLOW UP ON HIS 5 STAR KENTUCKY COMPLETION WITH A REALLY DISAPPOINTING RETIREMENT ON THE CROSS COUNTRY HERE LAST YEAR.

FOUND BY ZACH'S COACH JOHN HOLDING, PILOTED BY ZACHARY BRANDT RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING, RIGHT FROM THE GET GO, ENORMOUS CREDIT ON HIS PARTNERSHIP.

>> THIS HAS BEEN AN EXCITING PAIR TO WATCH, ZACH HAS WORKED SO HARD WITH ROSCOE AS HE IS KNOWN IN THE BARN, A BIT TRICKY IN THE CONTACT.

AND YOU KNOW, CAN BE A BIT IRISH.

HOWEVER YOU WANT TO DESCRIBE THAT.

BUT AGAIN JUST HAS WORKED SO HARD AND HE WAS THRILLED WITH HIS COMPLETION AT KENTUCKY AND NOW CAN KIND OF PUT THAT BEHIND HIM, HE HAS HAD HIS 5 STAR COMPLETION AND NOW HE CAN COME AND REALLY WORK ON IMPROVING UPON HIS FINISH THERE.

SO A LITTLE TROT INTO THAT HALT, SO THAT WILL DING HIM ON THE SCORE.

YOU CAN SEE HE IS RIDING IN THE DOUBLE BRIDLE.

WE SAW PIGGY RIDING IN THE DOUBLE BRIDLE.

>> WE HAVEN'T SEEN THAT MANY, WHICH I QUITE LIKE.

I AM NOT A DOUBLE BRIDLE FAN, I THINK COURSE FOR COURSE IF YOU NEED TO, THEN DO.

I AM A BIT ELF A SIMPLETON AND TWO REINS IS FAR TOO MUCH FOR MY BRAINS TO COPE WITH.

>> IT IS INTERESTING, THIS LOOKS QUITE GOOD HERE AND IT IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT YOU KNOW IF YOU ARE COMING IN ON A DOUBLE ARE YOU HIGHLIGHTING THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE, IN THE CONTACT.

AND SO YOU HAVE GOT TO BE VERY CONFIDENT THAT USING THE DOUBLE BRIDLE IS GOING TO HELP YOU SHOW YOUR HORSE OFF, THAT IS NOT GOING TO END UP MAKING IT LOOK LIKE IT'S A FIGHT.

YOU USE THE DOUBLE BRIDLE SO YOU CAN BE SOFT.

>> AND SO FAR IT LOOKS LIKE HE IS REALLY DOING THAT JOB.

HE CAN RIDE VERY MUCH ON THE REIN AND JUST POP IN WITH THE CURVE IF HE NEEDS IT EVERY NOW AND THEN.

>> YEAH, GOING WELL SO FAR.

JUST WATCHING THIS HORSE, YOU CAN JUST SEE EVERY NOW AND AGAIN ZACH RIDING SUPER LIGHT WITH HIS HAND, JUST PUSHING THE HAND FORWARD SAYING COME ON, YOU TRAVEL TO THE BRIDLE.

DON'T LET ME BE THE ONE THAT HOLDS YOU UP ALL THE TIME.

CARRY YOURSELF.

AND THE HORSE JUST OCCASIONALLY JUST OPENING AND CLOSING HIS MOUTH, JUST A LITTLE BIT FIDGETY ON THAT CONTACT.

>> AND I THINK HE CAN BE QUITE A STRONG HORSE AND IT IS A LITTLE BIT LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE, WHEN YOU HAVE A HORSE THAT IS SO STRONG.

ONCE YOU FIGURE OUT A WAY TO GET THEM LIGHT, THERE SAY REEDUCATION OF SELF-CARRIAGE THERE, THIS HORSE YOU WOULD DEEM A STRONG HORSE NOW THAT YOU HAVE HIM LIGHTER, IT IS A NEW TRAINING PROCESS FROM WILL.

JUST LIKE WHEN YOU HAVE A HORSE THAT IS VERY LIGHT ON THE CONTACT.

TRAINING THEM ABOUT THE CONVERSATION OF CONNECTION CAN BE A LITTLE TRICKY.

>> YEAH.

>> I HAVE ALWAYS SAID YOU KNOW, THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND A HORSE AS WE GO INTO THIS EXTENDED WALK IS IT IS LIKE HAVING A CONVERSATION DOWN THE ROAD, YOU AND I ARE HAVING A CONVERSATION, AND IF THEY GET BORED OF THAT CONVERSATION, THEY WILL HANG UP, LIKE A TELEPHONE CONVERSATION.

AND THE SAME WHEN ARE YOU RIDING THEM, IF YOU FEEL THEM GETTING A LITTLE BIT BORED OF YOU, CHANGE THE SUBJECT, CHANGE IT UP.

MAKE IT MORE EXCITING.

AM I READING THE DAILY NUP OR AM I READING 50 SHADES OF GREY.

I DON'T KNOW BUT IT IS GOING TO CHANGE THINGS.

>> I JUST NEARLY SPIT MY WATER OUT.

>> IT WILL MAKE SOMETHING MORE EXCITING.

SO REALLY THINK ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON, WHAT GOES ON IN THE BRAIN GOES DOWN THE REIN.

AND HAVING THAT CHITCHAT WITH THEM, HAVING THAT CONVERSATION, CHANGING IT UP, MAKING IT A LITTLE BIT MORE EXCITING, THEY NEVER LOSE THAT CONVERSATION BECAUSE IF THE CONVERSATION GOES STAGNANT THAN THEY WILL HANG UP.

LIKE GOING INTO A TUNNEL AND YOU LOSE RECEPTION ON YOUR TELEPHONE T IS THE SAME WITH THE HORSES.

>> ZACK IS DOING A GOOD JOB.

THIS HORSE HAS REALLY STRUGGLED PREVIOUSLY IN CHANGES AND KIND OF KIP SKIPPED THROUGH THAT HAST ONE, HORSE TRAINING IS ON A SCALE, ARE YOU EITHER MOVING THE RIGHT WAY OR WRONG WAY AND THAT SEEMS TO BE MOVING THE RIGHT WAY.

>> JUST HAVING TO MAKE SURE HE KEEP THIS HORSE CURVED AROUND HIS-- THAT WAS A PITY BECAUSE YOU COULD SEE HIM MAKING A REALLY OBVIOUS BIND TO THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE AS HE CAME ACROSS ON THAT DIAGONAL LINE REALLY PROBABLY AWARE OF THAT HAPPENING.

AND THAT NECESSITY FOR THE HORSE TO HAVE THAT FLYING CHANGE.

BUT BY DOING THAT ALMOST PUSHED THE WEIGHT TO THE OTHER SIDE ANYWAY.

>> AND I KNOW PREVIOUSLY THEY COULDN'T GET THIS HORS TO DO A CHANGE SO YOU DON'T KNOW WHETHER TO HAVE A PARTY OR TO BE UPSET ABOUT THAT.

YOU DID IT IN THE WRONG PLACE BUT ACTUALLY OFFERED THE CHANGE AND YOU FIND THAT RIGHT THE MORE SOMETIMES YOU WORK ON THE CHANGES THEN THE HORSES ANTICIPATE AND THEY ARE TRYING.

THE HORSE IS TRYING.

>> YOU CAN'T KNOCK THAT.

YOU CAN'T KNOCK HORSES FOR TRYING AND ACTUALLY OFFERING.

HAVE I A HORSE AGAIN AT THE MOMENT, I COME ACROSS ON THE LINE AND START THINKING AND HE IS ALREADY ONE STEP AHEAD OF ME, WAIT, BUT HE WILL THROW ONE IN AND I'M LIKE, I CAN'T TELL HIM OFF.

I CAN'T SAY NO BECAUSE HE HAS OFFERED IT.

IF HE IS OFFERING IT I HAVE NOW GOT TO TRAIN IT.

>> RIGHT.

SO BOTH THOSE CHANGES I WOULD SAY A LITTLE MUDDLED.

IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHERE THOSE SCORES ARE BUT AGAIN THIS IS FOR THIS HORSE, THAT TRAINING IS MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

IS HE NOT FRUSTRATED ABOUT IT.

IS HE TRYING.

HE IS STRYING TO GET THE TIMING RIGHT.

TRYING TO DO WHAT ZACH ASKED AND I THINK HE WILL BE REALLY HAPPY.

>> I WOULD BE THRILLED.

>> 12 YEAR OLD, DIRECT ADVANCE, IRISH GELDING BY BRED BY NOEL GOOD, DIRECT ADVANCED SINNED CAT LLC THE OWNERS, THERE IS A LOT TO WORK ON, YES, THERE ARE A FEW ISSUES IN THE ARENA.

YES, BUT THERE IS A LOT THAT CAN BE WORKED ON AND IMPROVED.

>> AND IT IS JUST A 12 YEAR OLD AT THIS LEVEL.

THERE IS A LOT LEFT TO GO.

AGAIN HALF OF IT IS GETTING IT MENTALLY RIGHT AND THE OTHER IS GETTING IT PHYSICALLY RIGHT AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE IS GOING THAT WAY.

HERE YOU SEE THE HORSE OFFERS THAT CHANGE OFF THE BOARDS, A NICE CLEAN CHANGE BUT JUST NOT WHERE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE.

>> WELL, THERE ARE ONLY TWO LEFT TO GO.

TWO MORE THAT COULD THREATEN THAT LEADERBOARD HER LAST TRIP AROUND THE INTERNATIONAL BEFORE SHE MADE THE WAY ACROSS THE POND TO THE MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR, PRESENTED BY BROWN ADVISORY.

>> SO WAITING ON A SCORE FOR ZACK AS HE HEADS DOWN TO GET HIS TECH CHECKED.

GREAT SHOT AT THE WARMUP ARENA.

THAT IS WHERE THEY COME UP UP THE CHUTE AND ENTER THE ARENA, JOHN HOLDING BEHIND THERE AND ZACH'S NEW WIFE, HE THEY GOT MARRIED, 39.7.

>> 157, 151.5, 39.7, JUST OUTSIDE THE TOP 20 IN THE 21S PLACE.

AS I WAS SAYING YESTERDAY, YOU DON'T REALLY GET TO SEE THE LEFT-HAND CORNER OF YOUR SCREEN THAT THEY COME IN THROUGH, UNDER THE AMP AT THE BACK END OF THAT GRANDSTAND SEATING.

IT IS A LONG WAY FOR THE WARMUP AREA, UP THE BANK, A LONG THE SIDE, UP UNDER THE AMPWAY INTO THE ARENA.

APP YOU NEVER QUITE KNOW WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO GET.

BUT WE'VE GOT TWO LEFT.

TWO LEFT, TO THREATEN THE LEAD, LEXI SCOVIL IS NEXT, 13 YEAR OLD CHICO'S MAN VDFZ, CHICKOR'S BOY, CHARDONNAY Z BY CARETANO Z, OWNED BY LEXI HERSELF.

THEY COME TO THE 5 STAR, LEXI, THE 13 YEAR OLD SPROUTS AS IS HE KNOWN, DUTCH BRED, HE WAS A BELGIAN ORIGIN SO BRUSSELS SPROUTEDS SO HE IS KNOWN AS SPROUTED.

5 STAR DEBUT BACK IN PAU THREE YEARS AGO, THEN COVID HAPPENED, DIDN'T QUITE GO TO PLAN IN 2021, LINED UP FOR KENTUCKY LASTER LAST YEAR AND ACHIEVED THE TOP 30 RESULT ON THEIR FIRST RUN AT 5 STAR.

RECENT FORM INCLUDING 1/8 PLACE IN THE 4 STAR IN AUGUST.

BASED IN OCALA.

PREVIOUS HEAD GIRL FOR LESLEY LAW AND SPENT 2019 AND 2020 IN THE U.K. WITH A MAN THAT YOU SPENT A LOT OF TIME WITH, WITH WILLIAM FOX-PITT.

>> YES, ABSOLUTELY.

AND LEXI HAD A LOT OF SUCCESS OVERSEAS.

BEFORE SHE HEADED OUT OVER THERE SHE WOULD HAVE OCCASIONAL 20, OCCASIONAL RUN OUT WITH THIS HORSE AND SHE WENT TO THE U.K. AND REALLY SHINED IN THAT PROGRAM.

IT WAS REALLY AWESOME.

ANDREW SPENT TIME OVER THERE AS WELL.

WE SEE A LOT OF THAT.

WE WERE SPEAKING ABOUT IT, IT IS EXCITING WHEN THE YOUNGER RIGHTERS HEAD OVER THERE AND COME BACK AND LEVEL UP THE WHOLE FIELD.

SO LEXI HAS NOW HER OWN BUSINESS DOWN IN OCALA FLORIDA WHICH IS A PLACE THAT IS NOW MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, PEOPLE ARE STAYING ALL YEAR ROUND.

THEY ARE ABLE TO GET THESE HORSES 5 STAR FIT IN FLORIDA WITH THE USE OF AQUA TREADS AND POOLS.

THERE ARE ACTUALLY SOME HILLS IN FLORIDA, CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF.

TONS OF REACH ACROSS THAT, THIS HORSE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO DO A REALLY NICE TEST HERE.

HE HAS GOT THE RIGHT CHARACTER FOR THE FLAT WORK.

>> AND LEXI HAD THIS HORSE FOR QUITE SOME TIME, SHE KNOWS HIM VERY, VERY WELL.

AND IT IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL DAY, WHAT STARTED OUT VERY CHILLY AND GRAY HAS TURNED INTO A PERFECT AFTERNOON OF SUNSHINE AND WE HAVE GOT A COUPLE MORE HORSES TO SEE HERE AND THEN I THINK WE'LL ALL BE OUT ON THAT CROSS COUNTRY GETTING FINAL LOOKS AND STARTS, 5 STAR TRACK.

>> JUST ONE LEFT TO GO.

BUOYED MARTIN, THE INAUGURAL WINNER OF THE 5 STAR HERE AT THE MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR.

PRESENTED BY BROWN ADVISORY.

BUOYED MARTIN WITH CONTESSA WILL BE OUR LAST TO GO.

ON Q OF COURSE HE WON WITH IN 2021.

>> LEXI SETS UP FOR THE CANTOR WORK OF THE TEST.

>> HE JUST STOLE THAT OUT FROM HER.

I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY, FOR ACTUALLY A HORSE THAT ISN'T THAT BIG, HE CAN GET A LITTLE BIT LONG AND A LITTLE BIT AWAY FROM HER, IT LOOKS LIKE.

AND SHE IS RIDING FOR THE BIG MOVES BECAUSE WHY WOULDN'T YOU.

AND SOMETIMES THAT IS THE RISK THAT YOU RUN IS THAT YOU GO FOR THAT BIG CANTOR AND THEY STEAL A CHAPPING OR GET A LITTLE AHEAD OF YOU ON THAT THOUGHT PROCESS AND EVERY NOW AND THEN YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM JUST KIND OF SIT BACK A LITTLE BIT, GET A LITTLE BIT MORE POWER FROM THE CONNECTION AND THEN BUILD.

>> GOOD GIRL, SHE DOESN'T BACK OFF AT ALL, SHE GOES RIGHT BACK AT IT AGAIN BECAUSE AGAIN WHY WOULDN'T YOU?

WE WILL SEE IF THIS WORKS OUT úANY BETTER FOR HER.

>> .

>> ONE STRETCHY CIRCLE AND TWO FLYING CHANGES AWAY FROM FINISHING HER 5 STAR TEST HERE AT MARS MARYLAND.

5 STAR AT FAIR HILL, HE LOOKS VERY RELAXED HERE LIKE HE COULD GO AND DO A LITTLE HUNTER ROUND.

S' HARD TO SEE ON OUR ANG FREL THE CAMERA HOW THAT WAS.

BUT WE'LL WATCH THIS.

NICE, NICE FINISH THERE.

ONE TURN DOWN THAT CENTER LINE.

AND I THINK SHE WILL BE VERY PLEASED WITH THIS TEST.

SUPER O BEAD YENLT, REALLY WITH HER OUT THERE.

ONE OR TWO LITTLE MISTAKES WHICH JUST UNFORTUNATE.

BUT JUST A 13 YEAR OLD, SUPER SQUARE HALT.

>> REALLY NICE TEST FROM LEXI SCOVIL.

WE HAVE GOT ONE LEFT TO GO.

FOR BOYD MARTIN, BOYD WON 2021 WITH ENCUE.

ASK IS.

>> VERY, VERY RELAXED ON THE WAY OUT OF THE ARENA.

THIS HORSE KIND OF LOOKS LIKE SOMEBODY WOULD YOU HANG OUT AT THE BAR WITH.

HE LOOKS VERY, VERY ON SIDE, COULD PROBABLY CRACK A JOKE OR TWO, VERY LAID BACK IN THIS ATMOSPHERE.

HE HAS BEEN ALL OVER THE WORLD, FROM EUROPE, HERE, BASED DOWN IN FLORIDA.

HAPPY TO COME UP TO PENNSYLVANIA AND HAVE A TOUR.

SO AT THIS POINT HAS HAD A LOT OF LIFE IN THOSE 13 YEARS AND SEEMS TO BE COPING WITH IT ALL QUITE WELL.

WELL, AS WE GO DOWN TO THE TAIL END OF THE MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR PRESENT BID BROWN ADVISORY, THE SECOND DAY OF DRESSAGE, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT, IT'S NEARLY DONE.

>> ONE MORE RIDE.

>> I KNOW.

>> BEFORE YOU KNOW T THE CROSS COUNTRY WILL HAVE STARTED AND FINISHED.

>> WE'LL BE ON A PLANE.

>> 31.9 FOR LEXI SCOVIL, BRILLIANT 174.5, 177.5, 179, 7th PLACE FOR CHICO'S MAN VDFZ, 7th PLACE, BRILLIANT, TOP TEN.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

THERE WAS JUST, THERE WAS, YOU KNOW, AGAIN WITH ONE LITTLE MISTAKE JUST THINK WHERE SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN.

BUT JUST, IT SHOWS THE TESTAMENT TO GOING IN AND HAVING A HORSE, YES, THEY HAVE TO MOVE BUT THEY HAVE TO BE RIDEABLE AS WELL AND THERE HAS TO BE THAT PARTNERSHIPMENT AND HERE WE HAVE BUOYED COMING INTO THE ARENA DOING HIS RISING TROT, AGAIN ANOTHER DOUBLE BRIDLE WITH CONTESSA.

>> LET'S' JUST REMIND OURSELVES THOUGH, OF 24 MONTHS AGO.

THIS WAS THE TIME WHEN BUOYED MARTIN BECAME THE FIRST WINNER OF THE MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR, CONGRATULATING HIM ON ON HIS WIN, THAT WAS 24 MONTHS AGO.

WHAT HE CAN DO THIS YEAR WITH CONTESSA.

>> THAT WAS SO EXCITING TO HAVE THE RED, WHITE AND BLUE HE UP AT THE TOP OF THE PODIUM FOR OUR FIRST YEAR HERE AT MARYLAND.

AND VERY EXCITED TO HAVE BUOYED WRAPPING UP OUR 5 STAR COMPETITION HERE.

>> NO BETTER MAN REALLY, CONTESSA 14 YEAR OLD, MARE BY CONTENDER ESTEBAN, OWNED BY CLUB CONTESSA, IT IS SUCH A PRIVILEGE TO HAVE HIM BECOME HERE AND CONTESSA MADE A 5 STAR DEBUT AT KENTUCKY EARLIER THIS YEAR.

PRODUCED A SERIOUSLY CLASSY ROUND.

, BOYD HAS RID EP IN MARE SINCE SHE WAS A 5 YEAR OLD, VERY SMART, VERY SENSITIVE, ALL IT BE A LITTLE BIT QUIRKY AT TIMES.

THAT IS THE MARE, NOT BOYD.

AND HE HAS WORKED WITH HIS WIFE, SHE IS A GRAND PRIKS DRESSAGE RIDER AND BETTINA TO FIND THE KEY TO GETTING THE BEST OUT OF THIS MARE IN THE FIRST PHASE.

>> THEY HAVE YET TO BREAK THE 30 BARRIER.

BUT IF THEY CAN BETTER THEIR FIRST PHASE SCORE OF 35.5 FROM KENTUCKY, THEY COULD BE IN WITH A VERY GOOD CHANCE.

IT'S NOT GOING TO BE DRESSAGE COMPETITION BUT A GOOD SCORE WILL STAND YOU IN GOOD STED.

THIS MARE LOOKS-- SHE LOOKS GREAT.

>> COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

>> WELL, AND THERE HAS BEEN SILVA AND BETTINA HAVE BEEN IN THE MIX HERE, MAYBE SHE JUST TOLD HIM TO LOOK PRETTY GOING DOWN THE CENTER LINE.

>> LOOK PRETTY.

>> AND THAT WAS THAT.

>> THAT IS THE ONE.

>> BUT REALLY LOOKS FANTASTIC.

AND YOU KNOW BOYD IS JUST SUCH A BUSY MAN AND THEY WELCOMED THEIR THIRD CHILD.

SO WE KNOW THAT THERE IS PROBABLY NOT A LOT OF SLEEP GOING ON AT THE HOUSE WITH THE NEWBORN BABY.

>> JUST HAD TO, YOU KNOW, WE'LL LEAVE IT THERE.

BUT WHEN YOU SAID HE WAS SUCH A BUSY MAN AND WELCOMED A THIRD CHILD HE IS A BUSY MAN ON THE EVENTING CIRCUIT, A LOT OF HORSES TO RIDE.

>> WE ARE GETTING TO THE END OF A LONG DAY.

>> ALSO JUST WELCOMED HIS THIRD CHILD INTO THE WORLD.

>> I LOVE THAT ANGLE THERE OF THAT HALF PASS, YOU CAN REALLY SEE ITS SWING IN THIS STEP SHE LOOKS SO SOFT AND COMFORTABLE, REALLY LOVELY TO SEE.

JUST VERY, VERY IMPRESSIVE.

THAT'S THE THING WITH BUOYED BOYD, SUCH A WORKER, BEAUTIFUL ACROSS THERE.

AND HE IS JUST GOING TO LEAVE NO STONE UNTURNED.

HE IS GOING TO, I REMEMBER AN INTERVIEW THAT SILVA, SOMEBODY ASKED HER, IS IT DIFFICULT COACHING YOUR HUSBAND, SHE SAID NO, BECAUSE BOYD IS GREAT BECAUSE HE JUST WANTS TO GET BETTER.

HE DOESN'T HAVE AN EGO, HE JUST WANTS TO GET BETTER ALL THE TIME, THAT IS THE ATTITUDE YOU HAVE TO HAVE AT THE TOP LEVEL.

>> JUST WENT BACKWARDS INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE ARENA RATHER THAN STRAIGHT IN, ALL THREE JUDGES WOULD HAVE SEEN THAT.

REMEMBER ON ENCUE WINNING TWO YEARS AGO, A MARE AS WELL SHE WON WITH THE DRESSAGE 25.0, ADDED NOTHING TO THAT FROM THE REST OF THE COMPETITION.

SHE FINISHED ON HER DRESSAGE SCORE AND ENCUE WAS, SHE WAS A DIFFERENT MARE IN THE DRESSAGE, WASN'T SHE, SHE WAS TOTALLY DIFFERENT.

BUT BOYD WORKING WITH THE MAESTRO, SILVA AND BETTINA, I MEAN I VPT SEEN THIS MARE G I DON'T REALLY WANT TO JINX IT BUT I'M GOING TO TOUCH WOOD NOW.

I VPT SEEN THIS MARE GO QUITE SO WELL IN THE TROT WORK.

AND IT'S INTERESTING, ORIGINALLY BOYD HAD I THINK THREE HORSES ENTERED INTO THE 5 STAR.

AND ENDED UP WITH JUST THE ONE HERE BUT ALSO HAVING SO MANY HORSES ENTERED AT THIS PETITION MAYBE JUST SPENDING A FEW DAYS REALLY FOCUSING JUST ON THIS MARE HAS BEEN HELPFUL AS WELL.

>> THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT UP AND BACK IN THAT FLYING CHANGE BUT AGAIN SHE MIGHT HAVE FELT CLAUSTROPHOBIC ON THE SHORT SIDE, AGAINST THE BOARDS.

TILE WILL TELL, WHEN WE GO AND SEE THIS MARE JUMP IN THE OPEN.

AND SHE IS VERY GOOD CROSS COUNTRY, SHE WOULDN'T NECESSARILY BE THE FASTEST, WITH BOYD WOULD WOULD HAVE GOT HERE IN PEAK CONDITION, PEAK FITNESS.

SHE HAS HAD THE ODD RAIL DOWN IN THE SHOW JUMPING BUT SHE IS A PRETTY GOOD JUMPER ON THE WHOLE AS WELL AND HE WOULDN'T, I WOULDN'T HAVE THOUGHT HER COMING HERE WOULD HAVE BEEN HIS TOP HORSE.

WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN HIS FIRST CHOICE OF HORSE THAT HE WOULD HAVE THOUGHT WELL YOU KNOW WHAT, SHE'S GOING TO BE THE ONE THAT WILL LEAD OFF FOR DRESSAGE.

BUT MY GOODNESS MES, HE IS PULLING OUT ALL THE STOPS AND SHE IS ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS.

>> HE IS DOING A REALLY GREAT JOB HERE, A COUPLE LITTLE MISCOMMUNICATIONS HERE AND THERE BUT ALL IN THE EFFORT OF TRYING HERE STRETCHING DOWN.

>> JUST WATCHING HER THERE, JUST BLOWING BUBBLES.

OUT OF HER LIPS AND SHE CLEARLY IS CONCENTRATING VERY HARD.

AND THINKING ABOUT THOSE FLYING CHANGES THAT ARE COMING UP.

AND WE'VE GOT TWO MORE COMING.

WITH A LITTLE BIT OF A TWIST AND A LITTLE BIT OF A SCREW IN THE MIDDLE BUT SHE DID DO IT.

SHE HAS JUST GOT THAT TENSION.

SHE DID GO HIND LECH FIRST BUT IT WAS WAY TOO EARLY.

>> SHE IS A BIG RANGY MARE AND AGAIN TRYING TO COMPRESS SO THAT YOU GET THE POWER, ITS BOUNCE, TO GET THAT NICE CLEAN CHANGE BUT SHE DOESN'T FIND IT THE EASIEST.

BUT THE TROT WORK TO ME IS THE BEST HAVE I EVER SEEN.

IT IS REALLY, REALLY INCREDIBLE.

>> TOTALLY AGREE.

>> AND ITS HALT, PERFECT HALT, 2021 WINNER BOYD MARTIN, WITH CONTESSA A SUPER MARE, A SUPER TEST.

AND REALLY IMPROVED.

I MEAN GIVE THIS MARE 12 MONTHS AND I THINK WE'LL SEE SOMETHING DIFFERENT AGAIN.

BOYD MARTIN, AND THIS HORSE IS OWNED BY CLUB CONTESSA, BREAD BY LARS PINEEN DS GREABER.

THERE IS LARS COMING UP, YOU CAN JUST SEE HIM THERE AT THE MAIN ARENA ENTRANCE AND THIS IS BOYD MARTIN, THREE VERY GOOD HALTS ON THIS MARE, THE FIRST, THE SECOND HERE AND THE THIRD, THE LAST HALT, ALL VERY, VERY GOOD.

AND I THINK WE'RE GOING TO HOPEFULLY HEAR FROM OLIVER IN JUST A FEW MOMENTS TIME BUT WE AWAIT THAT SCORE.

HE WAS ON A 24 AT ONE POINT.

BUT THOSE MISTAKES IT IN THE CANTOR CAN'T HELP BUT MAKE ONE THINK THAT HE IS GOING TO DROP DOWN, WILL IT BE SUB30 STILL?

WHAT DO YOU THINK IN YOUR OPINION?

>> I'M GOING TO GO 28.-- 8.

>> OLYMPICS-- WHAT SHE WOULD DO FOR $2.

>> BOYD MARTIN.

>> I DON'T KNOW HOW TO TAKE THAT.

>> I ASKED THAT IN THE WRONG-- THE WRONG TIME, DIDN'T I, WHAT THAT SCORE WAS BECAUSE I WASN'T LOOKING UP THERE.

I SHOULD HAVE BEEN SMARTER.

28.8 FOR BOYD MARTIN.

177.5, 189.5, 188.5, GOES INTO 5th.

LET'S HE HAVE A LOOK AT THE STANDINGS AFTER TWO DAYS OF DRESSAGE, IN THE BROWN ADVISORY SCOREBOARD, OLIVER TOWNEND FOR GREAT BRITAIN, COOLEE, 23.1, PIGGY MARCH WITH GREAT BRITAIN SECOND, BROOKFIELD CAVALIER CRUISE, 24.2, WILLIAM FOX-PITT, GREAT BRITAIN THIRD, GRAFENNACHT, 26.1, NEW ZEALAND MONICA SPENCER IN FOURTH, 28.4, BOYD MARTIN NOW THE HIGHEST PLACED FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, CONTESSA 28.8, CAROLINE POWELL GREENACRES SPECIAL CAVALIER IN 6th, WITH JACOB FLETCHER IN 7th, FABIAN, A HORSE PREVIOUSLY CAM PAPERED BY MILLIE DUMBAR UP TO THE TOP LEVEL, LEXI SCOVIL 8th, MIA FARLEY TEN AND ANDREW McCONNON IN 119, AUSTIN O'CONNOR 12th FOR IRELAND STVMENT ALL THE BIG NAMES BUCK DAVIDSON, PHILLIP DUTON, JENNIE, DOUG PAYNE, LILLIAN HEARD WOOD, LCC BARNABY.

ERIN KANARA,-- THEY MAKE UP 25, 26 IS SIDNEY SOLOMON AND CORNELIA FLETCHER, 26 COMBINATIONS IN THIS, THE MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR AT FAIR HILL PRESENTED BY BRUN ADVISORY.

WELL, WHAT A DAY IT IS NOT OVER THOUGH BECAUSE I KNOW THAT FRANKIE HAS CAUGHT UP WITH OUR LEADER AT THE ALTOID KISS AND CRY.

>> YEAH, HERE AT THE ALTOIDS KISS AND CRY, ANOTHER BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE BY YOU, TODAY YOU DANCED YOUR WAY TO THE TOP OF THE LEADERBOARD.

YOU HAVE BEEN UPON THAT PODIUM NOW HERE TWO TIMES AND OFFER TO A GOOD START.

>> GREAT START, WE COULDN'T BE HAPPIER CAN WITH COOLEE, ROSIE TO HER FRIEND, ONLY NINE YEARS OLD BUT SHE'S GOT PLENTY OF EXPERIENCE AT THE LEVELS BELOW, SO FINGERS CROSSED WE'RE UP FOR THE CHALLENGE.

BUT IT LOOKS LIKE A SERIOUS COURSE OUT THERE.

>> WELL, YOU'VE BEEN FORTUNATE TO COME HERE BOTH TIMES SO FAR, THERE HAS BEEN A THIRD YEAR OF THIS EVENT.

HOW HAS IT BEEN TO SEE THIS HE VEPT PROGRESS AND YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT TRACK.

>> I COULDN'T GIVE THE TEAM HERE AT MARYLAND AND CECIL COUNTY ENOUGH CREDIT.

EVERYTHING IS AS YOU WOULD WISH A FIVE STAR TO BE IT IS INCREDIBLE WHAT THEY HAVE ACHIEVED IN SUCH A SHORT SPACE OF TIME WITH, YOU KNOW, MARS AND BROWN ADVISORY, THE SPONSORS.

ST JUST SO, SO SPECIAL TO BE A VENUE LIKE THIS.

AND FULL CREDIT GOES TO THE TEAM.

>> YOU WILL HAVE YOUR WORK CUT OUT AROUND THAT TRACK TOMORROW.

WORD ON THE STREETS.

IT HAS BEEN A PROGRESSION AND IAN HAS QUITE A LAP FOR TO YOU DO OUT THERE.

>> YEAH, I THINK A FEW RIDERS WERE QUIETLY SAYING TOO MUCH PERHAPS, THAT IT WAS MAYBE A FOUR AND A HALF STAR OR PERHAPS A SOFTER KIND OF 5 STAR.

WELL, THAT ISN'T THE CASE THIS YEAR.

IT IS PRETTY HUGE, THERE IS LOTS OF QUESTIONS.

THEY ARE ALL FAIR QUESTIONS.

BUT THERE IS PLENTY OF THEM.

AND I THINK THE TIME WILL ALSO PLAY A MASSIVE PART.

>> IT WILL TAKE SOME STRONG RIDING TO GET IT DONE, WE'LL GIVE YOU SOME CURIOUSLY STRONG MINTS FROM AT TOYEDS AND WISH YOU THE BEST OF LOOK-- FROM ALTOID, BACK TO YOU GUYS.

>> WELL, THERE IS NO QUITE SURE WHAT OLIVER THINKS OF THE ALTOID MINT.

>> IS IT IS LIKE TAKING A HINT.

>> IS HE GOING TO EAT THEM, THAT IS FOR SURE.

LET'S GET BACK AND HAVE A LOOK AT THE THREE, TWO, ONE OF THE 5 STAR IT IS THE MAGNA WAVE DAILY PULSE.

THE FAIR PLAY CITY'S GREAT BRITAIN'S OLIVER WILLIAM FOX-PITT AND GRAFENNACHT, GRAFENNACHT REALLY PERFORMED WELL IN THE DRESSAGE BOARD.

SHE WAS BRILLIANT AT BAD MINUTETON, SHE HAD THAT ONE PROBLEM BUT IT WAS AN EVEN BETTER PERFORMANCE HERE TO LEAVE HER ON A VERY GOOD SCORE OF 26.16789 PIGGY MARCH, THE OVERNIGHT LEADER FROM THE DRESSAGE YESTERDAY, FIRST TIME 5 STAR IN THE WONDERFUL BROOKFIELD CAVALIER CRUISE, DANCED THEIR WAY TO A SUB30, 24.2, SEES THEM IN SECOND PLACE AFTER THEIR FIRST 5 STAR DRESSAGE, OVER 17, 2 IN HEIGHT, GREAT BRITAIN WORLD NUMBER ONE OLIVER TOWNEND WITH PAUL RIDGEON, A 9 YEAR OLD GRAY MARE, COOLEE, ROSIE AS SHE IS KNOWN TO HER STABLE MATES, AGAIN AS SHE DID IN LUHMUHLEN, SAS SHE DID AT BLENHAM, IN THE 5 STAR AN 4 STAR SHE PERFORMED SO WELL IN THE DRESSAGE.

THAT SHE LEADS AFTER TWO DAYS.

THE MAGAZINE THAT WAVE DAILY PULSE, THRIE, TWO, ONE WAS BRILLIANT AND WHAT A DAY.

I MEAN THE FINISH LINE IS IN SIGHT BUT THERE IS A LOT TO DO IN THE MEANTIME, JUST YOUR FINAL THOUGHTS ON THE DAY TODAY.

>> I MEAN I THINK IT'S INCREDIBLE.

I ECOOLIVER'S STATEMENTS IN THE JOB THAT CECIL COUNTY HAS DONE IN PROVIDING SUCH A VENUE AND THE JOB IAN STARK HAS DONE IN BUILDING IN THE PAST THREE YEARS SUCH A FORMIDABLE CROSS COUNTRY, THAT IS WHY THE BEST OF THE BEST ARE HERE, IT IS A SMALL BUT MIGHTY FIELD.

>> AS WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE SOMEONES SAID THOUGH SHE MAY BE SMALL SHE IS FIERCE AND THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE GOT HERE DOWN AT MARYLAND IT IS GOING TO BE EXCITING.

IT IS GOING TO BE A DAY OF THRILLING CROSS COUNTRY ACTION.

AND WE REALLY HOPE THAT AS MANY PEOPLE CAN JOIN US AS POSSIBLE.

>> THE MARYLAND 5 STAR AT FAIR HILL IS GRATEFUL TO HAVE SUCH INVALUABLE SUPPORT FROM THE STATE OF MARYLAND AND WE EXTEND OUR APPRECIATION TO THE MANY AGENCIES AND DEPARTMENTS WHO HELP MAKE AN EVENT OF THIS MAGNITUDE POSSIBLE.
