* * AND A VERY WARM WELCOME BACK TO THIS, THE 2024 MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR AT FAIR HILL PRESENTED BY BROWN ADVISORY.

WE ARE SO GRATEFUL TO OUR SPONSORS AND WE ARE GRATEFUL TO OUR VIEWERS AS WELL.

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING AND WE HOPE YOU ENJOY THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS OF HIGH CLASS DRESSAGE.

IT IS THE FIVE.

ALONG SONG ME IS EMMY AWARD COMMENTATOR SINEAD.

WELCOME BACK TO YOU.

SECOND YEAR BACK FOR BOTH OF US AT THE MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR.

IT IS UNBELIEVABLE.

WE HAVE TWO DAYS OF DRESSAGE.

CROSS COUNTRY ON SATURDAY, SHOW JUMPING SUNDAY.

GREAT ALWAYS.

BUT 2021 WE SAW A WIN FOR THE AMAZING MAN THAT IS BOYD MARTIN, THEN TIM PRICE AND COOP AND THEN LAST YEAR IT WAS IRELAND WHO MADE HISTORY WITH AUSTIN O'CONNOR AND COLORADO BLUE.

WHAT A MONUMENTAL WIN THAT WAS FOR IRELAND, HIS FIRST 5 STAR.

WE HAVE 11 COMBINATION COMING FORWARD THIS AFTERNOON.

IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY EXCITING.

>> WELL, IT HAS BEEN WARMING UP ALL MORNING AND NOW WE HAVE REACHED THE PINNACLE OF THE DAY.

IT'S VERY EXCITING.

11 COMBINATIONS TO COME FROM ALL OVER THE GLOBE.

IT'S HAPPENING.

IT'S HAPPENING HERE AT MARYLAND.

IT'S HAPPENING IN THIS BOOTH.

THANKS FOR JOINING US.

>> YEAH, IT CERTAINLY IS.

BUT BEFORE THE DRESSAGE GETS UNDER WAY, YESTERDAY SAW THE FIRST HORSE INSPECTION.

LET'S GO BACK, HAVE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE HORSES THAT JOGGED AND CAUGHT UP WITH SOME OF THE TOP RIDERS.

* * >> GLAD TO BE BACK HERE.

WE'VE HAD SOME VERY GOOD MEMORIES OF BEING HERE AT MARYLAND AND CECIL COUNTY AND IT'S GREAT TO BE BACK.

>> REALLY SOMETHING I'LL NEVER FORGET WINNING THIS EVENT AND COUPLE YEARS AGO.

ANY 5 STAR IS A BIG DEAL TO WIN SO THAT'S SOMETHING I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER BUT IT'S FUN TO BE BACK.

I HAVEN'T HAD FALCO, THIS LITTLE HORSE HERE BEFORE.

HE HAS ONLY DONE ONE 5 STAR.

I THINK HE HAS IT IN HIM AND HE IS IN GOOD FORM.

>> WELL, WOULD I LIKE TO BE AT THE TOP.

WOULD I LIKE TO BE HOLDING THAT TROPHY UP ABOVE MY HEAD.

YOU KNOW, BUTS WE HAVE SOME GREAT HORSES HERE AND THE FIRST PHASE IS SUBJECTIVE AND WE HAVE A SERIOUS CROSS COUNTRY TRACK OUT THERE AND THE HORSES HAVE TO JUMP CLEAN ON SUNDAY.

SO YOU JUST-- YOU HOPE THAT YOU CAN GIVE YOUR THREE BEST PHASES AND IF HE GIVES HIS THREE BEST PHASES, THEN HE WILL BE THERE.

>> YOU KNOW, WE HAVE BEEN HERE THREE TIMES NOW AND BEEN IN THE TOP THREE THREE TIMES WITHOUT GETTING THE NUMBER ONE SPOT.

SO IT WILL BE NICE TO TAKE THAT OFF THE LIST, YOU KNOW, IT'S 5 STAR AND EVERYBODY ELSE IS TRYING TO DO THE BEST.

WE HAVE THE BEST IN THE WORLD.

AND WE SHALL SEE.

>> WELL, OLIVER TOWNEND AND WELL, WE WILL SEE.

WE CERTAINLY WILL.

THREE TIMES HE HAS BEEN HERE, TOP THREE AS HE SAID, BUT LET'S HAVE A LOOK THEN AT THE START.

JESSICA PHOENIX IS WITH FLUORESCENT ADOLESCENT, HARRY MEADE AWAY CRUISING, LILIAN HEARD WOOD WITH LCC BARNABY, SIX OUT OF THE 11.

GRACE TAYLOR ANXIOUS TIME FOR HER YESTERDAY HELD AT THE FIRST HORSE INSPECTION, LINDSAY, ALEXANDRIA KNOWLES AND COMMON DOUGH 3 ON THE FIRST DAY OF DRESSAGE AT THE MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR AT FAIR HILL PRESENTED BY BROWN ADVISORY AND DRESSAGE SPONSORS TODAY, WELL, THEY HAVE BUILT OUR JUDGES HUTS AND WE ARE SO EXCITED TO START THE 5 STAR AGAIN.

THREE-TIME OLYMPIAN JESSICA PHOENIX IS UP FIRST.

SHE HAS RIDDEN AT THREE OLYMPICS.

SHE ROSE IN PARIS AND RIO DE JANERO BACK IN 2012.

SHE HAS BEEN AN INDIVIDUAL GOLD MEDALIST AND A TEAM MEDALIST AT THE PAN AM GAMES WITH THE GREAT HORSE SHE RODE THEN IN PAVAROTTI.

THIS TIME SHE RIDES FLUORESCENT ADOLESCENT, 16-YEAR-OLD, THE DAM IS AMELIA AND THE DAM SIRE OPENED BY MIKAYLA AND BREAD BY KELLY.

>> SO THIS IS A 5 STAR DEBUT FOR THIS COMBINATION-- WELL NOT THE RIDER, BUT THE COMBINATION.

AGAIN, SHE WAS ON THE SHORT LIST FOR THE OLYMPICS WITH THIS HORSE.

A LOT OF THE HORSES COMING FORTH HERE, THIS IS THEIR 5 STAR DEBUT FOR CANADA, THEY DIDN'T RUN A 5 STAR IN THE SPRING IN CASE THEIR COUNTRY NEEDED TO CALL THEM UP.

THIS HORSE WAS ON THAT ROUTE AND SO IT'S REALLY EXCITING TO SEE HER OUT HERE WITH SOME NEW HORSES.

SO INTERESTING THAT KELLIE BRED THIS HORSE SO THIS HORSE WAS IN THE ROBERTS FARM WAYLAND COMPADRE OF JESSE ON THE CANADIAN TEAM AND SO IT HAS STAYED CLOSE TO HOME AND CLOSE TO CANADIAN SOIL.

WE HAVE SEEN THIS HORSE SINCE BIRTH, REALLY.

>> IT'S AN INTERESTING STORY AS WELL, ISN'T IT BUS HANNAH RANKING STARTED THIS OFF AND THEN THE LADY, THAT OWNS NOW IN MIKAYLA RODE THIS HORSE, FLUORESCENT ADOLESCENT UP TO THE 3 STAR LEVEL.

I'VE COMMENTATED ON MIKAYLA A COUPLE OF TIMES BUT JESSE FORMED A REALLY GOOD PARTNERSHIP WITH THIS HORSE.

THEY'VE FINISHED INSIDE THE TOP 10 ON THE LAST TWO 4 STAR APPEARANCES.

THAT WAS AT BRAY MONT AND PLANTATION FIELD A FEW WEEKS AGO.

BUT SHE THINKS A LOT OF THIS 16-YEAR-OLD.

>> SO FAR THIS TEST IS ACTUALLY LOOKING QUITE GOOD.

WE WATCHED IT IN THE RING FAMILIARIZATION YESTERDAY.

IT'S A REALLY EXCITING THING TO DO ON A WEDNESDAY IS TO WATCH AND SEE HOW THE TOP RIDERS PREP THEIR HORSES AND JESSE WAS GIVEN FLUORESCENT ADOLESCENT A REALLY WONDERFUL SCHOOL.

SHE WAS IN HERE FOR QUITE SOMETIME.

THE HORSE LOOKED GREAT.

JUST GETTING USED TO THIS ATMOSPHERE, LIKE WE SAID EARLIER.

IT'S NOT EVERY DAY IN YOUR SCHOOL AT HOME YOU HAVE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WATCH AND BANNERS AND GRAND STANDS SO IT'S NICE FOR THE HORSES TO GET IN HERE AND GET USED TO THE SPATE SPACE BUT DURING THE RING FAMILIARIZATION THERE ARE FIVE, 10 OTHER HORSES.

WHEN THEY COME UP FROM THE CHUTE, THEY'RE HERE ALL BY THEMSELVES.

A DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE ON THE DAY EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE IN THE SPACE YESTERDAY.

>> AGAIN IT WAS VERY INTERESTING BECAUSE WE HAD A COUPLE OF RIDERS THAT WAITED UNTIL THE MAJORITY HAD LEFT AND CAME UP HERE BEING VERY MUCH ON THEIR OWN.

AND I THINK THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT.

I THINK YOU KNOW YOUR HORSES AND YOU KNOW WHAT WORKS FOR THEM.

SOME HORSES DON'T LIKE FAMILIARIZATION.

SOME HORSES THRIVE ON IT.

SOME HORSES PREFER TO BE AS A FEW OF THE LATER ONES WERE, ON THEIR OWN, BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING TO BE ON YOUR OWN IN THIS VERY LARGE CAPRICIOUS ARENA.

FLUORESCENT ADOLESCENT.

WE JUST RUNNING AWAY WITH JESSICA A LITTLE BIT.

HE IS GETTING QUITE STRONG, ISN'T HE?

YOU CAN SEE EVEN WHEN SHE CAME ACROSS ON THE DIAGONAL LINE, A LITTLE TIGHT IN THE NECK.

HERE SHE GETS TO USE A LITTLE OF THE SIDEWAYS MOVEMENT AS SHE MOVES INTO THE SECOND CHANGE OF FOUR.

>> KNOWS WHAT IS COMING.

THAT CHANGE DIDN'T QUITE WORK BECAUSE THE TENSION IS THERE.

NIGHTS KNEW ON IMPOSSIBLE TO USE THESE MOVEMENTS WHEN A HORSE IS AS TENSE AS FLUORESCENT ADOLESCENT IS.

SHE IS A LOVELY MARY BUT MARE BUT SHE IS LETTING THE WHOLE ATMOSPHERE AND HER SURROUNDINGS GET TO HER.

ANOTHER ONE THAT WAS LATE BEHIND AND A LITTLE BIT DISCOMBOBULATED WITH THE WAY THE LEGS WORK THEMSELVES OUT.

SHE HAS GOT ONE MORE TO DO.

NICE OPPORTUNITY TO JUST OPEN UP THE CANTER.

>> THIS PHASE SUNT COME DOESN'T COME NATURALLY TO THIS HORSE.

FABULOUS ON THE CROSS COUNTRY, AN OUT AND OUT JUMPER, DEBUTING AT THIS LEVEL WITH THE FOUR CHANGES AND THE TEST, STILL A WAYS TO GO ON THAT.

BUT THE DROT WORK IN THE BEGINNING REALLY NICE.

A LITTLE TENSION CREEPING IN THE CANTER.

A LITTLE CHANGE TO FINISH THIS UP.

>> SHE TURNS ACROSS THE DIME ON THE LINE.

JUST WATCHING FOR THIS IF SHE CAN RIDE A STRAIGHT ONE.

AND LATE BEHIND IN THE FLYING CHANGE.

WE'LL EXPLAIN AND GO THROUGH THAT MORE IN SOME MORE DETAIL JUST TO TALK ABOUT THE FLYING CHANGE AND WHAT IDEALLY WE ARE LOOKING FOR.

WHAT THE JUDGES ARE LOOKING FOR IN A CORRECT FLYING CHANGE.

BUT FLUORESCENT ADOLESCENT.

SHE IS 16 YEARS OLD.

A LITTLE BIT OF TENSION JUST CREEPING IN THERE.

SO THAT WAS A REAL SHAME, BUT IT IS A 5 STAR DEBUT.

GOING FIRST AS WELL ALWAYS A LITTLE BIT NERVE RACKING.

>> AND THESE HORSES, I MEAN THEY'RE THE FITTEST THEY HAVE BEEN IN THEIR CAREERS AT THIS POINT IN TIME.

SO COMING IN AND DOING THIS ON THE FIRST DAY IS QUITE A CHALLENGE.

AND JESSE, A PROFESSIONAL AS ALWAYS, CAME IN AND LEFT THE ARENA NO WORSE FOR THE WEAR.

>> SHE WILL HAVE LEARNED A LOT AS WELL.

AND OFTEN UNMISTAKABLY, WE LEARN A LOT MORE ABOUT OUR HORSES AT THESE BIGGER COMPETITIONS THAN WE'VE EVER REALLY KNOWN ABOUT THEM BEFORE.

BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW UNTIL YOU GET INTO AN ARENA LIKE THIS.

WHEN YOU CAN'T REPLICA THIS AT HOME.

YOU'VE GOT CROWDS, YOU'VE GOT BIG SCREENS.

THERE IS SO MUCH.

ALSO THE CROSS COUNTRY FENCES, THESE HORSES WILL SPOT THE CROSS COUNTRY FENCES AND IT ALL ADDS TO THE ENORMITY OF WHAT AND ALSO THE TASK IN WHICH THESE HORSE AND RIDERS HAVE TO UNDERTAKE AND YOU KNOW, IT'S A REALLY BIG, BIG QUESTION AND A BIG ASK BECAUSE THESE GUYS KNOW WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT.

WHEN THEY GET TO THE 5 STAR, THEY KNOW THAT THE NEXT PHASE IS GOING TO BE THE CROSS COUNTRY.

AND IT'S JUST EXCITING.

SCORE 163.5, 163, 163.5 GIVING JESSICA PHOENIX AND FLUORESCENT ADOLESCENT A CORE OF 39.3.

>> A GREAT SHOT HERE.

YOU CAN SEE THE LENDS OF TIME BETWEEN THE ARENAS, GUIDING JESSE DOWN THERE AS THEY DO A FINAL TACK CHECK.

THE ORGANIZATION HERE IS JUST PHENOMENAL AND THE AMOUNT OF COMMUNICATION THAT GOES ON BETWEEN THE WARMUP AREFUGEE ARENA-- ARENAS TO MAKE SURE THEY GET UP TO THE ARENA WITHOUT BEING HURRIED AND ON THEIR TIME, AN AMAZING UNDERTAKING AS WE WATCH HARRY MEADE HAVE A BEAUTIFUL CANTER AROUND.

IT'S INTERESTING.

ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE THAT IS REALLY USING THE WHOLE SPACE.

A LOT OF PEOPLE GO IN THERE AND STAY CLOSE TO THE ARENA HE HAS GONE YOU THE AND OUT AND SHOWN THE HORSE THE WHOLE SPACE MAKING SURE HE IS COMFORTABLE WITH THE CROWDS SHOWING UP TO WATCH.

IF YOU ARE AT HOME AND CAN MAKE IT OUT HERE, COME OUT, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY.

WE DO ENJOY YOU FOLLOWING ALONG ON THE LIVE STREAM.

>> WE CERTAINLY DO.

IT IS HARRY MEADE FOR GREAT BRITAIN.

HARRY WITH TWO HORSES IN THE 5 STAR.

ONE TODAY AND ONE TOMORROW.

HARRY WITH AWAY CRUISING IS THE FIRST OF HIS TWO RIDES.

HE HAS HAD AN AMAZING YEAR THIS YEAR.

HE HAS HAD AN AMAZING CAREER FINISHING JUST OFF THE TOP SPOT AT THE BURLY HORSE TRIALS.

FINISHED IN SECOND PLACE.

AN AMAZING-- THIRD HE FINISHED.

AN AMAZING PERFORMANCE THIRD AND FOURTH WITH CALF CAVALIER CRYSTAL.

THIS LOVELY GRAY, 17 YEARS OLD, PETER OWNS THIS LOVELY 17-YEAR-OLD.

AWAY CRUISING CAN DO A SUPER DRESSAGE.

>> THAT IS ONE WAY TO ENTER.

>> HARRY, HE HAS COMPETED THIS 17-YEAR-OLD ALL THE WAY THROUGH THEIR CAREER.

THEY WERE 20th AT BADMINTON IN THE SPRING IN THE 5 STAR HAVING FINISHED JUST OUTSIDE THE TOP 25 THE YEAR BEFORE.

THIS IS A VERY NICE HORSE.

VERY GOOD HORSE.

HARRY IS SUPER IN THE SADDLE, OF COURSE.

HARRY'S FATHER, THE LATE RICHARD MEADE WHO REPRESENTED MANY, MANY TIMES AT CHAMPIONSHIP LEVEL.

HARRY WITH WHITE ROSIE.

AND JUST SNUCK UNDER 10 MARKS AT THIS POINT.

JUST SNUCK UNDER 30.

>> SO FAR, LOVELY RHYTHM, LOVELY CONNECTION, VERY WORKMAN LIKE.

NOT THE SAME TENSION WE'VE SEEN THIS MORNING IN SOME HORSES, STARTING THE DAY WITH A CRISP NEW ATMOSPHERE, THIS HORSE LOOKS LIKE HE IS GOING IN.

KNOWS THE JOB, VERY GOOD PARTNERSHIP.

HERE WE GO INTO THE EXTENDED TROT.

SHOULD BE SLIGHTLY MORE THAN THE FIRST TROT, WHICH WAS THE MEDIUM.

AND HE SHOWS THAT REALLY NICELY.

>> AND RODE RIGHT TO THE MARK WHICH IS REALLY IMPORTANT.

AN EIGHT-CHECK SET AND IT'S NOT AFTER H, IT'S NOT A QUARTER OF THE WAY ACROSS, IT IS FROM H TO F AND HARRY RODE ALL THE WAY ACROSS FROM THAT LONG DIAGONAL TRYING TO CLAW BACK SOME PARKS MARKS.

HE LOSES A LITTLE BIT OF RHYTHM.

HE IS A BIG MOVER, AWAY CRUISING AND WHEN YOU'VE GOT A HORSE THAT IS QUITE BIG MOVING, WHEN THEY LOSE THEIR RHYTHM, IT'S VERY OBVIOUS.

UNDERSTAND HERE YOU CAN SEE IN THE SHOULDER IN.

>> YEAH, AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS YOU THINK.

IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A BALANCE ISSUE THAN TENSION ISSUE AND THAT'S WHERE WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THE SCALE OF TRAINING, YOUR RHYTHM AND BALANCE IS REALLY AT THE CORE OF THAT AND YOU CAN SEE THIS HORSE IS QUITE RELAXED AND QUITE KNOWLEDGEABLE.

EVERY NOW AND THEN LOSES A LITTLE BIT OF BALANCE.

SUPER WALK.

HARRY IS RIDING THE STEPS.

THAT'S HARD WORK IN THE ARENA.

>> A TRICKY MOVE.

SEEMS LIKE IT SHOULD NOT BE TO THE LAYMAN BUT GOING FROM THAT EXTENDED WALK TO THE MEDIUM WALK WITHOUT THE HORSES ANTICIPATING WHAT IS COMING NEXT.

HERE THEY'RE COMING INTO A HALT AND A RAIN REIN BACK SO HOPEFULLY THE ENERGY STAYS CONTAINED BUT THE RHYTHM SHOULD STAY TRUE FROM THE EXTENSION TO THE MEDIUM AND BE CONFIDENT AND POSITIVE INTO THE HALT.

EARLIER IN THE 3 STAR WE SAW FOUR STEPS IN THE REIN BACK.

HERE WILL BE FIVE STEPS AND THE REIN BACK.

>> 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 VERY MUCH IN DIAGONAL.

>> IT'S AMAZING HOW YOU CAN BE COUNTING TO FIVE YOUR WHOLE LIFE AND IN THAT ARENA YOU CAN ALL OF A SUDDEN FORGET THE NUMBERS.

>> I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SEE AWAY CRUISING A LITTLE BIT STRAIGHTER IN THE MEDIUM CANTER.

HARRY VERY MUCH HAD HIM CURL ADD ROUND THE LEG.

AND THAT WAS A GOOD FLYING CHANGE.

SO WE'LL TALK ABOUT THIS NOW.

SO WHEN HE GOES FOR HIS FLYING CHANGE, WE WANT TO LOOK AT THE NEW INSIDE HIND LEG WHICH MUST TOUCH THE GROUND FIRST.

COMING INTO THE HALF PASS.

SO IF WE WATCH NOW, AS WE ARE LOOKING AT THE SCREEN, WE ARE LOOKING AT THE LEFT HIND LEG.

WE WANT TO SEE THAT COME THROUGH FIRST AND IT DID.

AND IT HIT THE GROUND FIRST BEFORE THE FRONT LEG.

SO THAT WAS A VERY NICE FLYING CHANGE, AGAIN, COULD IT HAVE BEEN STRAIGHTER?

THIS IS WHAT WE SAY.

WAS IT A GOOD FLYING CHANGE?

YES.

WAS IT STRAIGHT?

NO.

WE ARE ALWAYS WANTING MORE.

NEVER SATISFIED.

WATCH THE HIND LEG.

VERY GOOD.

EXTENDED CANTER.

>> SUPER THERE AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE WANT TO SEE IS THAT BRAVERY DOWN THE LONG SIDE.

WE DIDN'T SEE A LOT OF THAT THIS MORNING WITH THE GREENER HORSES BUT AS WE HAVE THE MORE MATURE CAMPAIGNERS, YOU FEEL CONFIDENT YOU CAN MOVE UP AND DOWN THE LINE, CHANGE THE GEARS AND BRING THEM BACK.

THAT'S WHAT THEY NEED TO DO ON SATURDAY WITH THE CROSS COUNTRY AND IMMEDIATELY GOING INTO THE SOFT STRETCH.

AGAIN WHEN THEY'RE RIDING THIS TEST, MARYLAND PANE SAID THE RIDERS ARE GOING TO PRACTICE WHAT WE PUT IN THE TEST.

WE MUST PUT SOMETHING THAT IS RELAXING AND HARMONIZING INTO THE TEST SO THAT THE RIDERS KEEP THAT AT THE FOREFRONT OF THEIR TRAINING.

>> LOOK AT THE RIGHT HIND LEG IN THIS LAST FLYING CHANGE.

VERY GOOD AGAIN.

SO VERY ESTABLISHED IN THE FLYING CHANGES.

THAT WILL HELP HELP THE MARK.

WHEN THERE IS FOUR, IF YOU'VE GOT A HORSE THAT BRINGS TENSION INTO THOSE CHANGES, IT'S VERY, VERY COSTLY IN THIS TEST.

>> IT'S A LITTLE BIT WHAT YOU WERE SPEAKING TO BEFORE, THAT YES, FOR THE HIGHER MARKS AND SOME OF THE WORK YOU WANT A LITTLE MORE PUNCH, A LITTLE MORE FORWARD MOTIVATION IN THE WORKING GAIT BUT HE WAS ABLE TO DELIVER THE FLYING CHANGES, WHICH YOU WOULD BE SHOCKED OW UNIQUE IT IS TO HAVE FOUR CLEAN FLYING CHANGES IN A TEST.

I DON'T THINK WE ARE GOING BREAK INTO THE 20s BUT HE SHOULD BE THEREABOUTS, 30 MARK.

>> I AGREE.

AND IT'S GREAT THAT HARRY CAN BRING THE 17-YEAR-OLD TO MARYLAND, DUE THE 5 STAR.

HE HAD THREE HORSES AT BURLY, TWO OF THOSE WERE INSIDE THE TIME ON THE CROSS COUNTRY, WHICH WAS QUITE REMARKABLE BECAUSE THERE WERE ONLY THREE INSIDE THE TIME ALL DAY BACK IN THE BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER.

BUT HARRY MEADE AWAY CRUISING IS GOING TO TAKE THE LEAD FOR GREAT BRITAIN.

WE'VE GOT TWO RIDERS FROM GREAT BRITAIN TODAY.

THAT IS HARRY HIMSELF AND DAVID DOEL WHO COMES A LITTLE BIT LATER ON.

LET'S HAVE A LOOK AT THE SCORE THEN AND IT'S 31.2.

189, 10 MARKS DIFFERENCE.

189, 188 AND 179.5.

SO OUR JUDGES XAVIER LE SAUCE, A JUDGE AT THE PARIS OLYMPICS GAMES, HAD HARRY ON 179.5.

VALERIE PRIDE IS OUR JUDGE AT H AND JUDGE AT C, THE PRESIDENT OF THE GRAND JURY IS CHRISTINA KLINGSPOR FROM SWEDEN.

>> AND YOU THINK WE TALK ABOUT THE DIFFERENCES IN WHAT THE JUDGES SEE, BUT THE JUDGES ARE GOING TO SEE A LITTLE IRREGULARITY IN THE RHYTHM, THE LACK OF CONNECTION.

WHEREAS THE JUDGES AT C AND AT H ARE GOING TO SEE A LITTLE MORE OF THE STRAIGHTNESS AND TRANSITIONS.

SWL TOTALLY AND THAT IS WHY WE GET A 360 VIEW ON OUR SCREEN.

JUDGES REALLY ONLY GET A 2 D VERSION OF WHAT WE SEE.

>> SHOULD WE GET TO GIVE SCORES AS WELL?

THE FOURTH AND FIFTH JUDGE?

>> WE COULD.

THE NEXT TO GO IS, WHAT IS INTERESTING IN THIS AFTERNOON'S DRESSAGE.

WE HAVE THE YOUNGEST HORSE IS 11 YEARS OLD AND THAT IS COMMANDO 3.

WE HAD A 16-YEAR-OLD GO SECOND.

NOW WE HAVE THE 18-YEAR-OLD, LCC BARNABY WITH ILLEGALLION HEARD WOOD.

-- WITH LILIAN HEARD WOOD.

THIS HAS BEEN AN INCREDIBLE HORSE FOR LILIAN.

A FANTASTIC OPERATION IN THEIR ENTERPRISE OF HORSES THAT THEY BRING.

BARNABY HAS BEEN BRILLIANT FOR HER.

HE IS NOT ALWAYS THE EASIEST IN THE DRESSAGE.

>> NO.

BUT THIS IS HIS TENTH 5 STAR START.

HE HAS BEEN SO GREAT, THE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN HIM AND LILIAN TO ALWAYS BE THERE AT THE LEVEL AND LILIAN HAS BROUGHT ON SEVERAL HORSES SINCE SHE BROUGHT ON BARNABY BUT HE HAS ALWAYSING ABOUT HEEB BEEN HERE AND THAT IS A HUGE THING IN LILIAN'S CAREER.

A WONDERFUL EVENT TO FINISH OUT A FANTASTIC CAREER.

>> FINISHED TENTH HERE LAST YEAR.

AS LONG AS HE CAN JUST-- WE USED IT EARLIER, KEEP A LID ON IT.

AND WHEN WE USE THE WORD IT, WE MEAN HIS SLIGHT OVER EXCITEMENT.

>> NICE JOB THERE.

YOU KNOW, IT'S INTERESTING, WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT WATCHING HOW PEOPLE USE THEIR RING FAMILIARIZATION YESTERDAY.

LILIAN HAD A JUMP SADDLE ON OUT HERE.

JUST MAKING SURE THAT HE WAS STAYING RELAXED, STAYED OUT FOR QUITE SOMETIME TROTTING AND CANTERING GETTING HIM COMFORTABLE IN THE SPACE.

SHE DOESN'T NEED TO SCHOOL THE MOVEMENTS.

HE KNOWS THE MOVEMENTS SO IT'S MORE ABOUT MAINTAINING THE CONNECTION AND THE COMMUNICATION WHICH SHE IS DOING A BEAUTIFUL JOB ON.

HER LAST EXTENSION THERE WAS LOVELY.

HE IS STAYING AT THE END OF THE REIN.

LILIAN, SUCH A PROFESSIONAL AND GOING TO USE ALL HER EFFORTS TO STAY ACCURATE IN THAT SHOULDER IN AND TECHNICALLY CORRECT.

HE IS WALKING.

HE CAN'T BE LIKE SITTING ON A HOT TIN ROOF.

>> THIS HORSE MAY NOT BE YOUR FIRSTLY DOS SOCIETY DRESSAGE DAY AFTER WALKING IAN'S COURSE.

THIS IS THE HORSE I WOULD WANT TO SIT ON SATURDAY BECAUSE IT'S BIG AND MASSIVE AND IAN IS NOT GOING OUT WITHOUT A A BANG.

>> LAST HURRAH, GOING OUT ON A HIGH, FOR SURE.

WORD ON THE STREET IS THAT IT IS, FROM ALL THE RIDERS, BIG.

GOOD BOY, BARNABY.

LILIAN SENSIBLY WAITING FOR HIM TO FINISH BEING MALE, IT'S QUITE DIFFICULT TO DO TWO THINGS AT THE SAME TIME.

>> A LITTLE CAUTIOUS THERE I WOULD SAY.

>> BUT SHE WANTS TO KEEP HIM-- >> SHE IS THINKING ABOUT THE CHANGES AND I THINK THAT'S THE TRICKY PART ABOUT THAT MOVEMENT THERE IS THAT YOU ARE ALREADY THINKING ABOUT THE CHANGES AS SOON AS YOU PICK UP THE CANTER SO THOSE FIRST TWO MOVEMENTS IN THE CANTER, YOU ARE REALLY THINKING HOW THIS IS GOING TO SET UP FOR THE CHANGE.

I WOULD RATHER GET A 6 OR 6.5 HERE AND CLEAN CHANGE THAN AN 8 AND MISS.

>> WELL, IT WAS LATE BEHIND UNFORTUNATELY.

BUT SHE KNOWS HIM INSIDE OUT, COMING FOR ANOTHER FLYING CHANGE HERE, LOOKING AT THE INSIDE HIND LEG.

THAT WAS MUCH BETTER.

SO WHAT SHE IS DOING IS RIDING A SUPER SENSIBLE TEST.

SHE IS NOT RIDING UP THE CANTER TO THEN FORFEIT HER FLYING CHANGES.

THIS IS WHAT YOU WERE SAYING.

LET'S STAY ON THE SAFE.

IF I GET HIM TOO EXCITED, AND THAT WAS LATE BEHIND, IT WILL STILL SCORE A 5, MAYBE A 5.5 AND AGAIN SHE DIDN'T ASK TOO MUCH.

>> A LITTLE CONSERVATIVE FROM WHAT WE SAW WITH HARRY'S HORSE.

THESE RIDERS ARE ULTIMATE PROFESSIONALS AND THEY HAVE THEIR EXPECTATIONS SET AND THEIR PRIORITIES SET BEFORE THEY COME INTO THE ARENA AND WILL YOU SEE SOME COME INTO THE ARENA KNOWING THEY'VE GOT WHAT THEY NEED TO WIN THE TEST AND YOU SEE SOME COMING INTO THE ARENA KNOWING WHAT THEY'VE GOT TO HAVE A CONFIDENT AND HAPPY HORSE AT THE END OF THE TEST AND I THINK LILIAN HAS COME IN HERE WITH AN EXPECTATION OF KEEPING THE HORSE AT THE END OF THE REIN, KEEPING HIM CONFIDENT, MANAGING RISK LIKE YOU SAID EARLIER SO THAT SHE HAS AS LOW OF A SCORE AS POSSIBLE AND CAN HOPEFULLY END ON THAT SCORE ON SUNDAY.

>> GOOD BOY, GOOD BOY.

[ APPLAUSE ] YEAH, SHE WILL BE THRILLED.

HE WAS A MONKEY HERE LAST YEAR.

I WAS JUST TRYING TO THINK WHAT SCORE HE DID GIVE LILIAN LAST YEAR BECAUSE I REMEMBER IT BEING A LITTLE BIT OF A ROLLER COASTER RIDE, BUT HE REALLY-- SHE REALLY-- SHE RODE SUCH A CLEVER TEST, DIDN'T SHE?

>> YES.

AT THIS STAGE LILIAN IS SUCH A MATURE RIDER.

NOT ONLY A WONDERFUL RIDER, AN INCREDIBLE INSTRUCTOR AND COACH AND REALLY HAS A CREW OF PEOPLE AROUND HER AND SHE IS ALSO ONE OF THE FUNNIEST PEOPLE YOU WILL EVER MEET.

SHE HAS PRODUCED A LOT OF HORSES AND A LOT OF RIDERS TO THIS LEVEL AND AGAIN HER PARTNER IN BARNABY HAS BEEN SO AMAZING TO WATCH.

HE LAUNCHED HER CAREER AND NOW SHE IS VERY MUCH IN THE MIDDLE OF HER CAREER AND IT WILL BE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND FOR HER.

>> YOU KNOW, 36, 37 DRESSAGE LAST YEAR SHE HAD ONE POLE DOWN AND CLEAR CROSS COUNTRY TIME 38.6.

SHE GOES SECOND FOR NOW.

167, 170, 160 FROM OUR JUDGE.

SO XAVIER IS MUCH THE LOWEST OF OUR JUDGES HERE, BUT HE HAS GOT QUITE A DIFFICULT, AS THEY WILL HAVE.

I MEAN THEY'VE ALL GOT DIFFERENT OPINIONS AND DIFFERENT VIEWS, BUT XAVIER WHO IS AT B HAS A MUCH DIFFERENT VIEW THAN THE JUDGE AT H AND THE JUDGE AT C AND THAT'S WHY WE ARE JUST SEEING THAT SLIGHT CHANGE AND SLIGHT DIFFERENCE IN SCORES.

SO THAT GOES SECOND.

LILIAN HEARD WOOD AND LCC BARNABY, GREAT BRITAIN 1, USA 2, CANADA 3 WITH OUR NEXT TO GO.

DOOR VET AIRLINES.

WHO WANTS TO FLY CORVETT AIRLINES.

SITTING ON GOOD HORSES CROSS COUNTRY IN LCC BARNABY WHO IS THERE ON OUR SCREEN JUST GOING TO OUR STEWARDS TO BE CHECKED OVER.

THERE IS ANOTHER.

LCC BARNABY TO CORVETT.

CORVETT WITH EMILY HAMEL.

HE HAS BEEN TRULY AMAZING.

THIS IS ANOTHER 17-YEAR-OLD GRAY GUILDING AND THE DAM TINA AND SIRE CLEAR WAY.

THIS WAS BRED BY DORA SHIMMER AND OWNED BY THE THE BLACK FLAG OPTION LLC.

>> AND THIS HAS BEEN SUCH A COOL HORSE TO FOLLOW.

DEFINITELY A CROWD FAVORITE TO WATCH JUMPING.

HE WAS 11TH AT MARYLAND IN 2023.

COMPLETED AT BADMINTON EARLY.

CLEAR AROUND BURLY.

ALSO 15th AND INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, THIS HORSE WAS IN PHILLIP DUTTON'S BARN FOR SALE AND HE WAS QUIRKY AND A LITTLE BIT DIFFICULT AND THAT IS ACTUALLY HOW EMILY ENDED UP WITH THE RIDE.

SHE FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM AND THEY WERE ABLE TO PURCHASE HIM AND AN AMAZING HORSE FOR HER CAREER.

FANTASTIC PARTNERSHIP.

EMILY HAS WRENTLY MOVED TO SOUTH CAROLINA.

ORIGINALLY FROM WISCONSIN AND THEN BASED IN PENNSYLVANIA FOR QUITE SOMETIME AND PHILLIP HAS BEEN SO AMAZING WITH SO MANY ATHLETES IN HELPING THEM GET THEIR START AND THEN ENCOURAGING THEM TO GO OUT ON THEIR OWN AND THAT HAS BEEN WHAT HAS HAPPENED WITH EMILY AND NOW RESIDING DOWN IN SOUTH CAROLINA, AND STARTING HER OWN BUSINESS DOWN THERE, SHE HAS CORVETT HERE, 17 YEARS OLD.

>> A LOVELY HORSE.

SHE FINISHED INSIDE THE TOP 15 AS WELL BACK IN 2021 HERE AT THE 5 STAR.

AND HE HAS BEEN A HORSE THAT TASS TAKEN HER ALL OVER THE WORLD, BABBINGTON, BURLEY, TWICE HERE 5 STAR.

16, TWO 17 YEAR OLDS AND AN 18-YEAR-OLD.

THEY LOOK SO, SO WELL.

>> IT IS NOT ONLY THE RIDERS, IT'S THE VET TEAM, FERRIERS THEY'RE TREATED LIKE THE WELL FINE TUNED ATHLETES THAT THEY ARE.

>> AND OF COURSE THE GROOMS WHO WORK TIRELESSLY BEHIND THE SCENES PIVOTAL PART OF THE TEAM THAT IS A SMALL ARMY OF PEOPLE WHAT A UNIQUE CHOICE OF MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND FOR EMILY'S TEST.

NOT REALLY WALK MUSIC, IS IT?

SOMETHING LIKE GUNS N' ROSES PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND.

>> DOESN'T SEEM TO BE TOO AFFECTED.

LIKE HIM TO LENGTHEN THE TOP LINE A SMITH MORE TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A CHANGE BUT I THINK SHE IS HAVING THE OPPOSITE PROBLEM OF SOME PEOPLE.

HE LOOKS QUITE RELAXED AND ALMOST SLIGHTLY BEHIND HER LEG.

FOR THE BIGGER MARKS YOU WANT HIM TAKING HER A LITTLE BIT MORE BUT THIS HORSE SEEMS TO LIKE TO STAY IN THE SCOPEY AREA RIGHT UNDERNEATH HER.

HE DOES THAT WITH THE JUMPING AS WELL INSTEAD OF SEEKING OUT AND THINKING A LITTLE BIT MORE FORWARD.

ENCOURAGING HIM TO KEEP MARCHING O.

THE WALK IS A TRICKY GAIT.

YOU CAN'T HURRY IT AND LIKE THE CHANGES, IF YOU HAVE A LITTLE MISTAKE IN THE WALK, THE SCORE DROPS QUITE A BIT.

HERE WE STRIKE OFF RIGHT INTO THE RIGHT LEAD CANTER, A LITTLE HESITANT TO KEEP GOING.

IF YOU THINK WHERE THAT IS IN THE ARENA.

IT'S THE SHORT SIDE.

THE HORSES NEED TO PICK UP THE CANTER HEADING INTO A CORNER, SO JUST FROM A VISUAL POINT OF VIEW FROM THE HORSE, YOU ARE PICKING UP A CANTER, ASKING THEM TO GO FORWARD INTO ALMOST WHAT LOOKS LIKE A WALL.

THE RIDERS HAVE TO USE THE CORNERS TO SHAPE THEM AROUND TO THE INSIDE.

YOU CAN SEE EMILY THINKING ABOUT THE CHANGE, A SMITH BEHIND HER.

LET'S SEE HOW IT COMES THROUGH.

YOU CAN SEE WHERE HIS TRICKY PERSONALITY COMES OUT HERE, BUT LIKE SOME OF OUR TOP HUMAN ATHLETES, THEY'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT OF PERSONALITY AND HE DEFINITELY HAS A CONFIDENCE ABOUT HIM THAT HE JUST IS WHO HE IS.

SHE IS DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB OF JUST HELPING HIM GET THROUGH THIS, JUST TO CLICK MORE FORWARD, THINKING A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHERE HE IS GOING INSTEAD OF A LITTLE BIT BACK BEHIND HIM.

>> AT THAT TIME WAS BETTER.

HIVE THERE THE WAS BETTER.

LOSING A LITTLE BIT OF THE QUALITY OF THE CANTER.

SOY COLLECTION DOESN'T MEAN SLOW.

AND WHAT HE IS DOING, HE IS JUST BACKING UP A LITTLE BIT.

ANOTHER FLYING CHANGE AND AGAIN A LITTLE BIT HIGH BUT IT WAS A CLEANER CHANGE THAN THE FIRST ONE IN THAT DIRECTION.

>> IT'S TRICKY, THESE JUMPING HORSES.

THE JUMPS THEMSELVES DAWS A FORWARD DRAW.

THEY'RE LOOK AGO HEAD, GALLOPING TO SOMETHING.

AT TIMES IT CAN BE CONFUSING THAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE THINKING FORWARD BUT BACK TO WHAT THE RIDER IS DOING.

NOTHING IN FRONT OF THEM ENVIRONMENTALLY DRAWING THEM FORWARD.

SO HAVING THAT IDEA THAT YOU CAN GO FORWARD, YOU CAN SLOW DOWN BUT THE IDEA AND THE THOUGHT PROCESS HAS TO BE THINKING FORWARD.

GOOD WITH THE FINAL CHANGE.

HE ALREADY KNOWS WHERE THE HALT IS.

FIESES JOB THERE.

EMILY, THE WINNER OF OUR BEST DRESSED, A BEAUTIFUL PAIR OF BOOTS.

LOOK AND THERE HE IS JUST RELAXED ON A LOOPY REIN.

AN OLD PRO.

>> HE CERTAINLY IS AND EMILY HAS FORMED SUCH A FABULOUS RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.

HE IS PRETTY MUCH THE ONLY HORSE SHE'S GOT COMPETING AT THE INTERNATIONAL LEVEL AT THE MOMENT.

SHE IS A VERY BUSY LADY AS WELL.

WHAT A HORSE TO HAVE AND SHE ABSOLUTELY ADORES HIM AND YOU CAN SEE THAT IN THEIR RELATIONSHIP.

SHE WAS CAREFUL WHEN SHE NEEDED TO BE QUIET WHEN SHE NEEDED TO BE.

AND SHE PUT THE PRESSURE ON WHEN THAT NEEDED TO HAPPEN AT WELL WATCHING AGAIN THE SLOW MOTION FOR THOSE LISTENING ON THE RADIOS, YOU DON'T SEE THAT.

SO APOLOGIES ABOUT THAT.

WE ARE JUST WATCHING THE SLOW MOTION REPLAY AND THAT WAS THE FIRST FLYING CHANGE WHERE HE KICKED OUT AND WENT VERY HIGH.

WITH WE SAY CROUP HIGH, BUM HIGH BOTTOM HIGH.

AND THE SCORE 36.2 FOR EMILY HAMEL AND CORVETT.

THAT'S A SCORE OF 174.5, 170, AND 172.5.

36.2 GOES SECOND BEHIND GREAT BRITAIN'S HARRY MEADE.

DOWN THE CENTER LINE, FIRST TIME SFAR FOR HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS.

SECOND 5 STAR FOR THE LADY IN THE SADDLE.

SHE RODE AT BURLY WITH COPPER BEACH.

SHE NOW RIDES HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS IN THEIR FIRST 5 STAR TOGETHER BY THE SIRE RUSSELL AND OWNED BY CLAY AND EDDIE GREEN.

>> AND I JUST FEEL LIKE CROSBY, I'M VERY EXCITED FOR HER TO BE HERE THIS WEEKEND.

SHE HAS BEEN RIDING LIKE HER PARENTS ARE ON FIRE.

SHE LOOKED PHENOMENAL AT BURLEY AND WE ARE SO EXCITED TO HAVE HER BACK ON AMERICAN SOIL.

IF ONLY FOR A SHORT LITTLE BIT OF TIME.

>> SHE WAS SECOND AT MILL VETO WITH THIS HORSE IN THE 4 STAR.

THAT'S OVER IN IRED AND SECOND AT LINEAR AT THE NATION'S CUP.

THAT WAS A 4 STAR SHORT BACK AT THE END OF LAST MONTH.

>> AND I MEAN SO FAR I THINK THIS IS TEST WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR ALL DAY.

>> YEAH COSBY, SHE HAS GOOP IN-- SHE HAS GONE IN THERE NOT PHASED BY THE SITUATION AT ALL.

YOU KNOW, WE LOOK AT THE-- AND WE WERE TALKING TO ALICE SPRINGER AT LUNCH AND SHE SAID, YOU KNOW, THE FIRST TWO IMIRPS IN THE 3 STAR THAT ARE FIRST AND SECOND, THEIR COMBINED AGES ARE LESS THAN HER AGE.

SHE IS CELEBRATING HER BIG 50 TODAY.

SHE IS 50 TODAY.

AND AGAIN COSBY HAS GONE IN THERE.

SHE HAS HARRY MEADE, LILIAN, JESSE, YOU KNOW, OLYMPIC RIDER, EMILY, PEOPLE THAT WE HAVE SEEN ON THE CIRCUIT FOR SO MANY YEARS, AND COSBY HAS GONE IN THERE, ONE 5 STAR UNDER HER BELT AT BURLEY, BRILLIANT ROUND AT COPPER BEACH, COMES INTO THE ARENA EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT TO SEE.

>> AND IT'S VERY REAL.

IT'S VERY TRUE, THE CONNECTION IS REALLY GREAT, THE CONFIDENCE IS REALLY THERE.

THE RELATIONSHIP, I JUST JINXED HER.

BUT HERE YOU CAN SEE HER GETTING A LITTLE HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS OF THAT CORNER.

>> WELL DONE YOU.

HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS.

AND IT'S A LONG WAY ACROSS THAT WHEN THEY START WALKING OR JIGGING.

>> WE'LL SEE HOW THIS GOES.

>> I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A BIT TENSE.

DRAGGING, THE REIN BACK ACTUALLY WAS BETTER AN ANTICIPATED, BUT WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IS CLEAR DEFINITION, CLEAR FOOT FALL WHEN THE HORSES MOVE BACKYARD I'M-- BACKYARDS IN DIAGONAL PACER, THAT'S WHAT THEY D. IT WON'T BE MASSIVELY UNDERMARKED BUT IT WILL CERTAINLY KNOCK HALF A MARK OFF AT LEAST, LOOKING FOR THE HIND LEG.

VERY NICE FLYING CHANGE.

>> WE ARE NOT SEEING THE TENSION FOLLOW THROUGH.

SHE WAS VERY BOLD IN THE FIRST CANTER.

THE FLYING CHANGE WAS BEAUTIFUL.

SO SHE HAS EVERY CLANS HERE SHIEF SHIEF HE HAS EVERY CHANCE TO KNOCK BACK DOWN INTO THE 20s.

NOT TOO MUCH NECK BEND BECAUSE WE OFTEN SEE THAT LOOKING FOR THE NEW HIND LEG, NICE AND STRAIGHT.

THAT SHOULD BELEY-- THAT SHOULD BE REWARDED HANDSOMELY.

IT WOULD BE RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER.

>> SO WE'VE GOT BACK DOWN INTO THE 20s ITH TWO CHANGES TO GO.

>> BEAUTIFUL.

WE SHOULD GET DOWN TO THE 28th WITH THAT FLYING CHANGE.

>> REALLY BOLD.

THAT'S EXCITING STUFF.

THAT'S WAS YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO GO INTO THE RING AND DO.

YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO PERFORM.

NOT EVERYONE IS AT THE POINT IN THEIR RELATIONSHIP OR WITH THE HORSE THAT THEY CAN DO THAT.

BUT WHEN YOU ARE SITTING ON A HORSE LIKE THIS, WHEN YOU HAVE THE RELATIONSHIP THAT THEY HAVE AND THE EXPERIENCE THAT THEY HAVE, WHEN YOU HAVE TIM AND JANELL WORKING WITH YOU EVERY DAY TO SHOW YOU THE RINGMANSHIP AND YOU CAN GO IN AND DO THAT, THIS IS THE TIME TO DO IT.

>> IT IS.

YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT NOTHING TO LOSE.

YOU GO IN THERE.

TIM IS HERE.

HE WILL BE HELPING COSBY AS WELL.

BUT YOU GO IN THERE AND YOU KNOW, IF YOU ARE GOING TO RIDE AN EXTENDED CANTER, VERY NICE FLYING CHANGE, AGAIN A BIT OF A WIGGLE BEHIND.

BUT CLEAN, IF YOU ARE GOING TO RIDE AN EXTENDED CANTER, RIDE AN EXTENDED CANTER.

GO LIKE A BULLET OUT OF A GUN, SHOW THE JUDGES WHAT YOU'VE GOT THAT YOU CAN GO UP IN THE GEAR, DOWN IN THE GEAR.

AND GET EVERY MARK YOU CAN.

VERY, VERY WELL DONE.

FOR HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS AND TOM THING THAT LET THIS TEST DOWN WAS THE WALK.

>> SUPER JOB THERE.

LIKE A LOT OF AMERICAN RIDERS HAVE GONE OVER TO EUROPE FOR SOME STINT TO BASE OVER THERE FOR A LITTLE BIT.

THERE IS A LOT OF EVENTING.

IT REALLY IS, YOU CAN BE COMPETING AT THE TOP LEVEL ON MONDAYS, SATURDAYS, SUNDAYS, A LOT OF COMPETITION HAPPENING.

AND ALSO I KIND OF FEEL LIKE, AS A YOUNG PERSON AS WELL, YOU CAN KIND OF GET OUT OF A LITTLE BIT OF THE SPOTLIGHT AND YOU CAN GROW UP A LITTLE BIT.

I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE ARE SEEING HERE IS THAT COSBY HAS GONE OVER THERE, JUST PUT HER HEAD TO THE FLOOR AND GOTTEN TO WORK.

AND.

>> IT LOOKS LIKE SHE IS SMILING THROUGH THAT TEST AS WELL.

>> I WOULD BE SMILING.

>> WELL, FROM ONE LADY THAT SPENT TIME IN THE U.K., SINEAD SPENT MANY HAPPY TIME WHEN WERE YOU BASED OVER IN THE U.K. YOU CAN VERY MUCH SPEAK FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.

COSBY GREEN, HARRY MEADE IS LEADING AT THE MOMENT.

COSBY GREEN, 28.0, WHOA, LOOK AT THOSE MARKS.

206.5, THAT'S WHEN CHRISTINA KLINGSPOR, QUITE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN MARKS FROM OUR THREE JUDGES.

BUT THAT GIVES HER A SCORE OF 28.

AND GOES INTO THE LEAD.

206 DOWN TO 17, QUITE BIG.

>> I THINK THAT'S THE THING.

I WAS TALKING TO VALERIE PRIDE A COUPLE WEEKS AGO.

SHE SAID SOMETIMES YOU LOOK UP AND YOU ARE THINKING I'M THE LOWER MARKING JUDGE BUT SHE GOES AS LONG AS YOU STAY ON IT.

EVERYBODY IS GETTING JUDGED THE SAME.

SO AS LONG AS YOU JUST THINK OKAY, AT THIS POINT I HAVE TO BE THE MEAN JUDGE.

>> YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

>> THAT'S WHERE HE STAYS SO AGAIN IT'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE.

THESE JUDGES ARE VERY PROFESSIONAL.

THEY'RE GOING STAY ON THE MARKS THAT THEY'RE ON AND IT WILL BE AN EQUAL PLAYING FIELD ACROSS THE BOARD.

>> 69.7, 65 AND 76.8 IN PERCENTAGES.

206 TO 186 IS THE RANGE.

WELL NOW IT IS GREAT BRITAIN'S DAVID DOEL.

HE IS RIDING GALILEO NIEUWMOED.

IS A DUTCH BRED 13-YEAR-OLD GELDING, OUT OF THE MARE SHALOMA AND DAM SIRE.

DAVID EXPERIENCED AT THE 5 STAR LEVEL.

IRISH I VENTING TEAMS FOR MANY YEARS.

5 STAR RIDER HIMSELF.

ENDED HIS CAREER WITH A BRILLIANT MARE AT THE 5 STAR LEVEL CALLED BATTLE ANNIE.

AND IT IS DAVID DOEL COMING DOWN THE CENTER LINE WITH THE NOW 13-YEAR-OLD DUTCH BRED GELDING GALILEO NIEUWMOED.

>> IT IS A BIG TESTAMENT TO THE CREW HERE AT MARYLAND PUTTING ON SUCH AN AMAZING EVENT THAT WE'VE GOT THESE FABULOUS RIDERS PUTTING THEIR HORSES ON PLANES AND LITERALLY FLY AGO CROSS THE OCEAN TO JUST COMPETE AT THIS ONE COMPETITION FOR FOUR DAYS OF COMPETITION HERE IN MARYLAND.

IT'S PRETTY OUTSTANDING AND A HUGE ROUND OF APPLAUSE QUIETLY WHILE HE DOES HIS TEST TO THE TEAM HERE AT MARYLAND AND HOW LUCKY ARE WE TO GET TO SEE SUCH BRILLIANCE ON DAY ONE.

>> YEAH IT IS PRETTY, PRETTY AMAZING.

DAVID, WHO HAS RIDDEN A NUMBER OF HORSES UP TO THE 5 STAR LEVEL HE HAS BEEN TRAIL BLAZER AT THE 5 STAR A NUMBER OF TIMES.

THIS HORSE ORIGINALLY STARTED OFF BY JOY DAWS, DAVID STEPPED INTO THE SADDLE IN 2018 AND NO STRANGER TO THE 5 STAR LEVEL.

DID THE FIRST BADMINTON IN 2022 FINISHING JUST OUTSIDE THE TOP FIVE IN SIXTH PLACE.

AND THEN WENT ON TO FINISH SECOND AT BURLEY LAST YEAR.

THIS IS A HORSE WELL CAPABLE OF A LOW 30s DRESSAGE.

HE IS THEREABOUTS AT THE MOMENT.

>> JUST A REALLY PLEASANT HORSE TO WATCH.

HE LOOKS LIKE HE HAS A NICE ATTITUDE.

THINKING FORWARD.

THE RHYTHM IS REALLY NICE.

DAVID ADJUSTING HIMSELF IN THE SAD 8 MAKING SURE HE SAT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE.

>> THAT'S A VERY CONFIDENT WALK, YOU KNOW, SIT AGO CROSS THERE, HE FEELS REALLY GOOD ABOUT THAT STEP.

>> FROM THE EXTENDED, THIS IS WHERE IT'S QUITE DIFFICULT, ISN'T IT, AS YOU SAID EARLIER, FROM THE EXTENDED INTO THE MEDIUM, WALKING BACK TOWARDS THE IN-GATE AND WARMUP ARENAS.

AND LOOKING STRAIGHT INTO THE HOSPITALITY.

IT'S QUITE A LOT GOING ON.

>> THERE IS A LOT GOING ON THERE.

DAVID LOOKS VERY CALM AND VERY CONFIDENT IN THEIR COMBINATION.

YOU CAN SEE HIS HORSE LOOKING UP INTO THE CROWD A LITTLE BIT THERE.

AND DAVID JUST GETTING HIS ATTENTION BACK, SETTING UP FOR THE RIGHT LEG.

AND THEN WE WILL SEE HOW HIS CANTER WORK.

HE IS BOLD HERE, GIVES US A CLUE TO HOW THE CHANGES ARE GOING TO COME OUT.

>> YOU CAN SEE HERE HOW MUCH STRAIGHTER DAVID WAS THAN HARRY MEADE, AWAY CRUISING WAS AROUND HIS LEG BUT GALILEO NIEUWMOED MUCH STRAIGHTER, FLYING CHANGE WAS A GOOD FLYING CHANGE, NICE AND STRAIGHT, CLEAN, AND HE IS JUST 2.5 MARKS OFF OF THE LEADER AT THIS POINT IN THE TEST.

IF THEY CAN KEEP THIS UP, IT WILL BE VERY GOOD INDEED.

FLYING CHANGE COMING UP.

INSIDE HIND LEG.

THAT WAS LATE BEHIND.

JUST THE HORSE WENT A LITTLE SLEEPY TO HIS AID.

MUCH BETTER.

DAVID ACTUALLY WAS QUITE CLEVER WASN'T HE, BECAUSE HE PREPARED BUT HE MADE SURE THAT TIME.

>> HE JUST WAITED FOR IT.

EXACTLY.

AND THESE CHANGES COULD JUST BE SO COSTLY.

YOU CAN BE WINNING THE WHOLE THING AND THEN RIGHT AT THE END OF THE TEST, JUST LOSE IT ALL.

>> AND THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT FLYING CHANGES COMING UP BECAUSE HE, YOU LET THE HORSES STRETCH AND PICK THEM BACK UP STRAIGHT INTO A FLYING CHANGE AGAIN.

SO HAVE YOU TO MAKE SURE YOU PICK THE HORSE UP, GET THE BALANCE BACK, GET THEM SITTING BACK ON THEIR SHINED LEG TO GO ACROSS FROM THE DIAGONAL LINE, NOT HAPPENING VERY QUICKLY.

THE LAST FLYING CHANGE AND IT WAS LATE AGAIN.

AND IT WAS JUST THE LEFT TO RIGHT CHANGE.

>> YOU KNOW, THAT'S A LOT LIKE PEOPLE.

HORSES ARE NOT AMBIDEXTROUS.

THEY HAVE GOOD SIDES AND BAD SIDES.

YOU THINK ABOUT A WEAK SIDE OR STRONGER SIDE AND WE SAW THAT A LITTLE BIT THERE.

THIS HORSE IS VERY WELL KNOWN FOR ENDING HIS WEEKEND ON THE SCORE THAT HE STARTED WITH, SO THERE IS A LOT TO DO OUT THERE.

I THINK HE WILL BE CLOSE ENOUGH IN THE MIX.

CERTAINLY THOSE TWO CLANKS BEING MISSED IS A BIT REGRETFUL BUT A LOT TO LIKE IN THAT TEST.

>> CERTAINLY WAS A LOT TO LIKE INDEED.

DAVID DOEL.

LAST TO GO BEFORE THE BREAK.

DO STAY WITH US WE ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE FOR THE 5 STAR AT THE MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR AT FAIR HILL PRESENTED BY BROWN ADVISORY AND OUR DRESSAGE SPONSORS.

SO IS DAVID DOEL.

WHAT DO WE THINK?

34?

>> YEAH PROBABLY GOING TO BE AROUND THE 33.5, 34 MARK.

>> YEAH 13-YEAR-OLD AND HERE COMES DAVID'S SCORE AND IT IS 34.5 GOES INTO THIRD PLACE.

175.5, 177.5, IN TWO JUDGES H AND B, VERY CLOSE MARKING INDEED.

34.5 DAVID DOEL GOES INTO THIRD.

SO LET'S HAVE A LOOK AT THE BROWN ADVISORY STANDINGS AFTER THE FIRST SIX HORSES AND IT'S COSBY GREEN AND HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS, THEIR FIRST 5 STAR OUT IN FRONT 28.0.

GREAT BRITAIN THEN SECOND AND THIRD WITH HARRY MEADE AWAY CRUISING, DAVID GOAL EMERGES WITH EMILY HAMEL AND CORE CORVETT IN FOURTH.

FIFTH LILIAN AND LCC BARNABY WITH JESSICA PHOENIX AND FLUORESCENT ADOLESCENT IN SIXTH.

STILL THOUGH, WE HAVE BUCK DAVIDSON COMING THROUGH WITH GRACE TAYLOR AND LINDSAY TRAISNEL.

STILL MORE TO COME.

MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR PRESENTED BY BROWN ADVISORY BROUGHT TO YOU BY MARS EQUESTIAN A BETTER WORLD FOR HORSES AND PEOPLE.

INVEST IN THE PRESENT TO RAISE THE FUTURE.

CECIL COUNTY MARYLAND WHERE FOOD AND ADVENTURE BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER.

GREAT WOLF LODGE BRINGING YOU BACK TOGETHER.

NOW OPEN IN PERRYVILLE MARYLAND.

WE ARE BACK HERE AT THE MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR PRESENTED BY BROWN ADVISORY.

DRESSAGE DAY ONE, IT HAS BEEN SO EXCITING.

IT HAS BEEN AMAZING TO WATCH.

WE HAVE SEEN SOME INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCES.

LET'S GO AND HAVE A LOOK AT OUR 3, 2, 1.

GREAT BRITAIN IN THIRD AND SECOND.

THIS MAN YESTERDAY BEFORE THE BREAK, REALLY IMPRESSIVE TEST.

HE WOWED THE JUDGES BUT A FEW MISTAKES AND THEY WERE REALLY COSTLY.

THERE IS NO NOWHERE TO HIDE IN THE ARENA.

THIS MAN REALLY DID IMPRESS.

THOUGH AT TIMES, AWAY CRUISING JUST GOT AWAY FROM HARRY IN THE SHORT WORK AND THE CANTER WORK REALLY DID LOOK SO SUPER AND SMOOTH.

IT WAS A SILKY PERFORMANCE.

BUT THIS LADY, HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS, FIRST 5 STAR FOR THIS HORSE AND SHE LAYS IN FIRST PLACE ON 28.0.

HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS IS 14 YEARS OLD.

COSBY GREEN, SECOND 5 STAR FOR HER RODE AT BURLEY WITH COPPER BEACH.

BUT OH MY GOODNESS.

THAT IS A VERY, VERY EXCITING COMBINATION FOR THE FUTURE DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT.

LET'S GO DOWN TO THE DRESSAGE WARMUP AREA WHERE OUR EQUALLY EXPERIENCED EMMY AWARD WINNING BROADCASTER IS DOWN THERE SHOE CAUGHT UP WITH OUR LEADER COSBY GREEN.

>> YOUR HOMECOMING HERE AND WHAT A START TO THE WEEKEND.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE BACK IN THE STATES?

>> IT IS JUST BEYOND SPECIAL.

IT JUST MAKES ME SO HAPPY TO SEE SO MANY FAMILIAR FACES AND IT JUST FEELS COMFORTABLE AND EXCITING.

>> YOU HAVE BEEN ACROSS THE POND AND YOU LOOK BETTER THAN EVER IN YOUR RIDING.

YOUR FAMILY IS HERE CHEERING YOU ON AND THIS MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR WHAT DOES IT MEAN.

>> IT IS ALWAYS A DREAM.

I CAME TO THE FIRST ONE THEY'VE EVER HAD AND HAD MY EYES SET ON IT AND I HAVE BEEN IN A PROGRAM THAT HAS MADE IT A REALITY AND HAVE THE SUPPORT OF MY FAMILY SO I'M REALLY HAPPY TO BE HERE.

IT MEANS A LOT.

>> YOU WENT IN THERE AND ABSOLUTELY NAILED IT, YOUR FIRST TO GO IN THIS 5 STAR DIVISION AND GOING INTO THE 20S, THE FIRST WE'VE SEEN TODAY.

SO WELL ON YOUR WAY.

HAVE YOU LOOKED AT THE TRACK YET.

>> I HAVE.

I LOOKED AROUND IT LAST NIGHT AND IT IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING AND I FEEL LIKE I COULDN'T HAVE PICKED A BETTER 5 STAR FOR FIRST 5 STAR FOR PIE HORSE AND I CAN'T WAIT TO GET OUT THERE.

>> BEFORE YOU CHANGE GEARS WE'LL LET YOU SOAK UP THIS MOMENT FOR A SECOND, WHAT IT MEANT TO GO IN THERE AND DELIVER I'M HARD ON MYSELF.

IT'S WHAT I EXPECTED.

WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK THIS YEAR.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR WOULD LIKE TO THANK MARS EQUESTIAN AND MARS FAMILY OF BRANDS FOR THEIR SUPPORT.

MARS EQUESTIAN.

BUBBLING EYE NUTRITION.

BUCKEYE NUTRITION.

ETHEL M CHOCOLATES.

NUTRO.

PEDIGREE.

AN TECH.

AND SOUND WELL, HERE WE GO.

IT IS THE LAST FIVE RIDERS IN THE 5 STAR, THE MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR AT FAIR HILL PRESENTED BY BROWN ADVISORY.

THE DRESSAGE SPONSORS, THEY BUILT OUR AMAZING DRESSAGE HUT.

YOU CAN SEE THEM IN YOUR PICTURE IN THAT WONDERFUL PICTURESQUE CAMERA ANGLE THAT WE HAVE.

AND THE SUN HAS BEEN SHINING ALL DAY.

IT HAS BEEN PERFECT WEATHER.

WE HAVE SEEN BRILLIANT DRESSAGE TESTS AND THIS IS THE IRISH LISTS OF THE RIDERS STILL TO COME, DAVIDSON, GRACE, LINDSAY, COMMANDO 3 DOES A BEAUTIFUL TEST BOYD ALWAYS GOES IN THERE MEANING BUSINESS.

HE STARTED OUT THE DAY FANTASTIC IN THE 3 STAR AND WILL FINISH IT OUT FANTASTIC.

OUR STRONGEST HOPES TO BATTLE AGAINST THE IMPOSTERS FROM ANOTHER LAND, OUR UFT CONTINGENT.

WE HAVE BUCK HEADING UP AND HIS BEAUTIFUL THOROUGHBRED SOROCAIMA.

>> THIS IS A LOVELY HORSE.

SORK SOROCAIMA IS AN INTERNATIONAL THOROUGHBRED.

HE IS AN OFF THE TRACK THOROUGHBRED.

HE RACED A NUMBER OF TIMES, WAS CONSIDERED THAT HE WASN'T GOING TO BE FAST ENOUGH.

BUCK HAS HAD HIS ISSUES WITH THIS HORSE AND HAS REALLY WORKED HARD TO PUT THEM BEHIND HIM.

I SPOKE TO HIM RECENTLY AND HE SAID, YOU KNOW, LOOK, WE ALL KNOW IT'S A TOUGH SPORT BUT WHEN THINGS DON'T GO TO PLAN, THEN YOU'VE GOT TO STEP BACK AND LOOK AT THE BIGGER PICTURE AND SAY OKAY, WHAT IS GOING ON HERE.

AND HE IS SO EXPERIENCED AND HIGH RIDES SO MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF HORSES.

AND HE HAS GOT A GREAT AND UNIQUE WAY OF WORKING WITH THE THOROUGHBREDS AS WELL BECAUSE SOME OF THEM ARE PRETTY SHARP AND SOROCAIMA IS LOOKING WONDERFUL OUT THERE IN THIS BEAUTIFUL SUNSHINE.

>> BUCK HAS ALWAYS THOUGHT SO HIGHLY OF THIS HORSE.

I REMEMBER VIVIDLY SEEING SOROCAIMA GALLOP ACROSS THE HILLS AT GREAT MEADOW IN VIRGINIA FOR THE FIRST TIME AND I THOUGHT WHAT AND WHO IS THAT?

VIETS A BEAUTIFUL HORSE ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

HE HAS WORKED VERY HARD ON THE SHOW JUMPING PHASE AND I THINK WE ALL STOOD AND CHEERED WHEN HE HAD JUST ONE PULL DOWN-- HAD A CLEAR SHOW JUST COMING ROUND IN KENTUCKY AND FINISHED SIXTH LAST YEAR.

REALLY FANTASTIC.

HE FINISHED NINTH HERE IN 2023.

THE SIRE ROCK HARD 10, THE DAM PULPIT IN THERE AS WELL WITH CHRIS AND ROBERTO IN THE BREEDING LINES THIS HORSE HAS JUMPED UP TO 130.

PURE SHOW JUMPING.

YOU CAN SEE BUCK DOING A GOOD JOB.

HE HAS A TENDENCY TO GET A LITTLES SHORT IN THE NECK.

WISH HE WOULD LENGTHEN OUT AND TAKE A BREATH.

HOPEFULLY HE WILL DO THAT AS HE GETS FURTHER INTO THE WORK AND THE TEST.

YOU CAN SEE SOROCAIMA IS SERIOUS ABOUT THE JOB.

WORKING REALLY HARD FOR BUCK AND BUCK IS DOING A NICE JOB NAVIGATING THIS TEST BUT WOULD YOU ALMOST LIKE HIM TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF A BREATH, SHOW A LITTLE BIT LONGER OUTLINE.

AND THAT'S BUCK JUST PUSHING HIS HANDS FORWARD, ENCOURAGING HIM AS WE MOVE INTO THE EXTENDED TROT.

YOU KNOW, IT'S TOUGH, SPENCER, IN THE BEGINNING WE HAVE THE MEDIUM AND THEN EXTENDED TROT AND IT'S HARD TO HOLD BACK IN THE FIRST ONE TO SHOW MORE IN THE SECOND ONE.

THE QUESTION IS DO YOU JUST GO FOR IT ON BOTH OF THEM?

PRETTY SHOT THERE.

I THINK ALL OF US LOVE SEEING A THOROUGHBRED AT THE TOP OF THE SPORT.

I THINK ON SATURDAY A THOROUGHBRED IS A REALLY WONDERFUL HORSE TO BE SITTING ON AND VERY WORKMAN LIKE TEST SO FAR.

I MEAN AGAIN, I THINK THIS HORSE IS A REAL TRYER.

HE IS A REAL PROFESSIONAL AND I THINK THE PARTNERSHIP HAS GONE FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH.

THAT'S THE TYPE OF OUT LINE WE WANT TO START SEEING IF WE COULD GET THAT IN THE TROT, WE WOULD BE IN THE 20s.

>> THIS HORSE RACED AS A TWO-YEAR-OLD AND HE RACED OVER THE NEXT THREE SEASONS.

HE HAD CONSECUTIVE WINS IN TWO RACES ON THE ALL WEATHER.

THAT WAS BACK IN 2015.

NINE DAYS APART.

I MEAN HE REALLY DID GO WELL.

BUT HE FINISHED HIS RACING CAREER BACK IN NOVEMBER OF 2016.

AND COMPETED IN HIS FIRST USCA RECOGNIZED EVENT IN JANUARY OF 2018 AND THEY'VE DONE AN AMAZING JOB THESE TWO.

AND HE FINISHED SECOND AT HIS 5 STAR DEBUT.

THAT WAS KENTUCKY.

>> THEY'RE JUST LOOKING RIGHT INTO THE EYES OF SOME OF OUR SPONSORS THERE.

BUCK DID A GOOD JOB OF KEEPING HIS ATTENTION.

INTO THE FIRST CHANGE.

>> FINISHED 14th HERE IN 2022 IN THE 5 STAR 679 NINTH LAST-- NINTH LAST YEAR.

WILL WANT TO GO EVEN BETTER.

STILL IN A 33.7, QUITE A COMPETITIVE SCORE.

IF WE CAN KEEP THE CHANGES TOGETHER.

>> HE WAS SECOND IN-- 22nd IN KENTUCKY.

ANOTHER CORRECTION I WANT TO MAKE AS WELL IS WE SAID EARLIER RORY, NOW I WANT TO APOLOGIZE TO RORY'S PARENTS BECAUSE THE RESULTS FROM PLANTATION ARE IB INCORRECT.

SHE DID JUMP CLEAR.

SHE HAD ONE DOWN.

AND THEN WITHDREW.

THAT WAS ALWAYS THE PLAN.

SO MASSIVE APOLOGIES TO RORY TO ALSO JIMMY SCHWAM WHO IS THE TRAINER AND ALSO TO RORY'S PARENTS, HUGE APOLOGIES.

WE'LL MAKE SURE WE GET THAT SQUASHED, SCRATCHED AND SORTED OUT FOR THE REST OF THE COMPETITION.

DOING A REALLY GREAT JOB.

BUCK IS ONE OF THE MOST BRAVE PEOPLE YOU WILL EVER SEE ON THAT GALLOP DOWN THE LONG SIDE IN HIS MEDIUM CANTER.

THAT'S ONE OF HIS FAVORITE DRESSAGE MOVES.

IF ANYONE HAS WATCHED BUCK JUMP, THAT'S ONE OF HIS FAVORITE THINGS IS EXTENDING DOWN A LONG GALLUP AND HE GETS TO DO THAT IN THE ARENA AND I THINK HE IS GOING TO BE VERY PLEASED WITH THIS TEST.

>> VERY WELL DONE.

SOROCAIMA, THIS FORMER FLAT HORSE THAT RACED UNDER RULES MANY TIMES.

AS I SAID, HAD TWO CONSECUTIVE WINS BACK TO BACK AND STARTED HIS EVENTING CAREER IN 2018, RETIRED IN NOVEMBER OF 2016 FROM RACING.

>> AND YOU KNOW, YOU WATCH HIM IN THE RING AUTO RIGHT NOW AND HE LAS A REALLY NICE CHARACTER.

FOR A THOROUGHBRED HE IS VERY RELAXED.

HIS WALK IS BEAUTIFUL.

WE SAW THAT IN THE TEST AS WELL.

ONE OF THE BEST WALKS WE'VE SEEN, JUST RELAXED AND RHYTHMICAL.

A REAL PROFESSIONAL.

LIKE I SAID, YOU GET THE IMPRESSION HE IS PRETTY SERIOUS.

HE IS INTO THE JOB.

HE IS TAKING IT ALL IN.

YOU CAN SEE WHY BUCK HAS SPENT SO MUCH TIME CULTIVATING THIS RELATIONSHIP AND REALLY PUTTING THE TIME AND EFFORT INTO MAKING HIM ONE OF THE TOP HORSES IN THE U.S.

SO WE WILL SEE WHERE THAT SCORE COMES OUT.

STILL ONLY 13 YEARS EELD.

AT THIS LEVEL 13 IS QUITE YOUNG.

AS WE SAW, WE STARTED OUT WITH AN 18-YEAR-OLD, 17-YEAR-OLD AND SO THIS HORSE IS REALLY ON AN UPWARD TRAJECTORY.

>> YEAH, AND THERE IS THE SCORE, 34.0, 180, 180.5, 174.

BUCK DAVIDSON AND SOROCAIMA.

34.0.

AND GOES INTO THIRD PLACE.

YOU CAN SEE THERE, NOW YOU KNOW WHAT A GOOD JOB BUCK WAS DOING AND WHAT A PROFESSIONAL THIS HORTS WAS IN THE ARENA.

HIS ELEVATOR IS UP WITH THE NECK, CHECKING OUT THE CROWD BUT OVER TO THE RIGHT IS THE CROSS COUNTRY AS WELL AND I THINK HE HAS RUN HERE BEFORE.

HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A RACE HORSE AND CAN RECOGNIZE THE BIG BEAUTIFUL RACETRACK THAT IS AROUND HERE.

YOU CAN SEE THE STEWARDS AND KATIE STRICKLAND WHO HAS BEEN SUCH GOOD HELP FOR SO MANY IN OUR SPORT.

SHE HAS GROOMED FOR BUCK AND SO MANY OTHERS FOREVER.

SHE IS LIKE FAMILY HERE.

SO NICE TO SEE HER OUT.

>> SO THE NEXT TO GO, ONE OF THE YOUNGER ONES, 12-YEAR-OLD GAME CHANGER.

IRISH SPORT HORSE GELDING.

IS BY THE SIRE CASSIDY OUT OF THE MARE STORM CHASER BY THE DAMSIRE TITUS LIVIUS.

GRACE TAYLOR IN THE SADDLE.

>> PRACTICING YOUR CHANGES OUTSIDE.

LOOKED PRETTY DARNED GOOD THERE.

THAT'S CONFIDENCE.

SO SHE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF A SCARE IN THE TROT UP YESTERDAY.

AS SHE DID GET SENT TO THE HOLDING BOX BUT THE HORSE LOOKED PERFECT UPON REINSPECTION.

SO THANKFULLY WE ALL GET TO TAKE A BREATH OUT.

SHE IS GOING TO MAKE IT.

>> 5, 4,... JUST.

3, 2, 1.

>> BEAUTIFUL.

MOTHER ANNA, SELECTOR ADDED IN A CHANGE THERE.

UNNECESSARILY.

THAT'S UNFORTUNATE.

LIKE I SAID, MOTHER ANN WAS A TEAM SELECTOR FOR A LONG TIME.

RODE AT THE TOP LEVEL AS WELL SO VERY MUCH IN THE FAMILY.

>> FATHER NIGEL WAS ALSO A MEMBER OF THE BRITISH TEAM FOR MANY, MANY YEARS, GRACE NOW BASED FIRMLY BACK OUT IN THE U.S.

HE LOOKED AT ME FUNNY.

>> I KNOW.

FUNNY LOOKING.

>> BACK OUT HERE WITH MUM, ISN'T SHE?

>> SO A COUPLE OF COSTLY LITTLE MISTAKES IN THE BEGINNING.

>> YOU CAN SEE HERE, THE HORSE HAS GOT BEAUTIFUL EXTENSION AND TONS OF SCOPE.

UNFORTUNATELY IN THE BEGINNING, LOOKING A LITTLE TENSION CREPT IN WITH THE FIRST CHANGE DOWN THE CENTER LINE, LOST A LITTLE BALANCE IN THE FIRST MEDIUM AND NOW GETTING BACK TO THE FORM THAT SHE IS USED TO EXPECTING.

A LITTLE TIGHT IN THE NECK, A LITTLE SHORT THERE.

NICE JOB OF KEEPING HIM FROM LOPPING INTO THE CANTER.

EIGHT METER CIRCLES AND IT'S VERY IMPORTANT ACCURACY HERE.

IT'S NOT ONLY JUST COMING IN AND SHOWING THE MOVEMENT AND THE CONNECTION.

IT'S BEING VERY ACCURATE ON THE LINES AND NOT LOSING POINTS.

YOU DON'T WANT TO LEAVE ANYTHING ON THE TABLE THERE.

YOU CAN JUST SEE HIM GETTING A LITTLE SHORT AND TIGHT BEHIND THE VERTICAL THERE.

>> THIS WILL BE DWIGHT A LONG WAY NOW, WON'T IT, WITH THE EXTENDED WALK M-E AND ALL ACROSS TO F. HE IS WALKING WELL, BUT WHEN SHE SHORTENS THE REIN, OR WILL SHE SHORTEN THE BODY?

THIS IS THE QUESTION.

IT LOOKS LIKE SHE HAS SHORTENED THE REIN.

AND ACTUALLY HE IS REACTED REALLY RATHER WELL TO THAT HASN'T HE.

HER KNOWING HER HORSE.

>> INTERESTING THAT YOU SAY THAT, WATCHING, IT LOOKS LIKE SHE IS ABLE TO RIDE HIM.

THERE IS JUST A FEW LITTLE BALANCE ISSUES GOING ON AND A LITTLE, YOU KNOW, HE SWAPS THE LEAD TO CATCH HIMSELF OR ALMOST HOPS INTO THE CANTER.

STILL LOOKS RIDEABLE.

BRAVERY OF YOUTH.

>> CAN'T REMEMBER.

>> I KNOW, SO LONG.

VERY BOLD IN THAT.

>> YOU WOULD EXPECT THAT FROM GRACE THOUGH.

YOU KNOW WHEN YOU'VE GOT A MOTHER IN ANN, WHO IS HUGELY EXPERIENCED AND A GREAT PAIR OF EYES ON THE GROUND, AND FATHER NIGEL, YOU KNOW, SHE'S-- AND ALSO WITH HER TWIN BROTHERS, SHE HAS HAD TO FIGHT FOR EVERYTHING SHE'S GOT.

AND YOU KNOW, YOU WOULD EXPECT HER.

SHE WILL GO AGAIN.

SHE WILL BE LIKE BULLET OUT OF A GUN WHEN SHE GOES FOR THE EXTENSION.

>> YOU CAN SEE HER THERE REACH UP AND GIVE HIM A REASSURING PAT AND YOU CAN ABSOLUTELY DO THAT.

NEVER GOING TO GET A PENALTY FOR BEING KIND.

>> WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.

AND IT WAS A FAIRLY CLEAN CHANGE.

HE JUST DID IT AGAIN.

BUT HE JUST GOT A LITTLE BIT TIGHT.

SHE WILL KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THAT TIME.

DO I JUST SIT QUIETLY FOR AN EXTRA STRIDE.

SHE KEEPS LOOKING AT THE QUARTERS.

I WOULDN'T BE TOO DWOARD ABOUT THE QUARTERS.

I WOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE CANTER.

THERE WAS MUCH BETTER.

AND SHE DID, AFTER SHE LOOKED OVER TO THE QUARTERS, THEY WERE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

NOW CONCENTRATE ON THE CANTER AND GET THE BEST POSSIBLE-- LOOK AT THAT.

BULLET OUT OF THE GUN, AWAY SHE GOES DOWN THE LONG SIDE.

SIT AND CLOSE, BRING THE CANTER BACK.

ONE OF THE BEST WE'VE SEEN.

>> YEAH, AND IT HAS BEEN IMPRESSIVE BECAUSE COMING IN WITH A LITTLE BIT OF THAT TENSION, SHE HAS REALLY KEPT RIDING THROUGH THE WHOLE TEST AND I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO GO IN THERE AND KEEP RIDING THROUGH IT.

DON'T BECOME A PASSENGER AND I GET THE IMPRESSION FROM THIS HORSE HE WOULD BE SHOCKED IF SHE BECAME A PASSENGER.

SO HE WOULD BE SURPRISED AND NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO.

SHE HAS DONE A VERY MATURE JOB WITH THIS TEST.

TRYING TO GET EVERY MARK SHE DID.

REALLY NICE CHANGE THERE.

GIVING HIM ANOTHER PAT AGAIN.

I LOVE SEEING THAT.

SHE IS RIDING HIM ASSERTIVELY AND CONFIDENTLY BUT REWARDING HIM RIGHTLY SO.

NICE JOB.

>> WELL DONE GRACE.

LOVELY TEST THERE FROM GAME CHANGER.

AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN A GAME CHANGER BECAUSE HE CAME US AT US, DID THE FLYING CHANGE.

SHE DIDN'T LET THAT HUSTLE HIM.

DIDN'T LET THAT UPSET THE SITUATION.

THEN CAME INTO THE MEDIUM SHOT.

HE GOT A LITTLE BIT TIGHT, A LITTLE BIT TENSE IN THE FIRST FEW STEPS.

SETTLED INTO THE OCCASION AND THEN THE SECOND OF THE EXTENDED SHOTS WAS LOVELY.

THIS IS THE SECOND EXTENDED SHOT.

SHE REALLY DID PUSH FROM BEHIND AND HE STAYED MUCH MORE LEVEL AND HE REALLY DID, DIDN'T HE?

HE WAS JUST-- HE LOOKED TUMLY MORE MATURE THAN I'VE SEEN HIM FOR QUITE A LONG TIME.

HE SEEMS TO HAVE GROWN UP.

HE IS COMING HERE AND EMBRACED THE SITUATION.

>> I'M EXCITED TO SEE THIS COMBINATION ON THE CROSS COUNTRY BECAUSE THE WAY SHE CAME IN AND ATTACKED THE DRESSAGE TEST I'M IMAGINING THE SAME ENERGY ON THE CROSS COUNTRY WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED TO TACKLE IAN STARKS FINAL 5 STAR.

>> AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SHOW YOU THE CROSS COUNTRY ON SATURDAY.

IT IS VERY, VERY SPECIAL INDEED.

GRACE TAYLOR THEN GOES, 76.5, 176, AND 181.

ANN TAYLOR MOTHER IN THE BACK OF THE PICTURE.

JUST WALKING DOWN THIS SIDE OF THE FENCE.

BUT GRACE GOES INTO FOURTH PLACE.

SO VERY WELL DONE HER AND THE USA.

OF COURSE CHANGED HER NATIONALITY OVER TO THE USA.

>> 34 WITH A COUPLE OF MISTAKES IS NOT SO BAD.

YOU CAN SEE A NICE LOW MARK IN THERE SO NEXT COMING AROUND THE ARENA, LINDSAY TRAISNEL.

>> A LOT OF THOSE.

CERTAINLY THAT IS THE FIRST ONE WE'VE SEEN BY MY LORD KATHARGO.

THE DAMSIRE CLYDE.

BRED BY-- OWNED BY PATRICIA PIERCE.

>> THIS IS JUST A LOVELY HORSE.

AND SUCH A STRONG PARTNERSHIP.

LINDSAY HAS HAD THIS HORSE SINCE IT WAS FOUR YEARS OLD.

HER AND HER HUSBAND LIVED OVER IN EUROPE FOR QUITE SOMETIME.

PURCHASED THE HORSE OVER THERE AND SHE HAS GONE THROUGH, SHE HAS RIDDEN AT THE PAN AMERICAN GAMES REPRESENTING CANADA.

SHE WAS AN ALTERNATE FOR THE PARIS OLYMPICS.

THIS IS ACTUALLY HER FIRST 5 STAR, WHICH I FOUND QUITE SURPRISING BECAUSE I'VE JUST KNOWN THIS PAIR FOR SO LONG THAT SHE WAS WONDERFUL AT THE PAN AMS >> SHE WAS (INAUDIBLE) FOR CANADA AND PART OF THE TEAM THAT WON THE GOLD.

WE TALKED ABOUT THAT EARLIER.

CANADA-- THEY'VE GOT A GREAT NEW TEAM COMING THROUGH, HAVEN'T THEY, THE RIDERS.

>> THEY REALLY DO.

REBECCA HOWARD WHO IS COMPETING AT LEON THIS WEEKEND, THE ONLY REASON SHE IS NO THE HERE.

THEY'VE GOT A GREAT GROUP OF SELECTORS AND STAFF THAT ARE REALLY HELPING THESE RIDERS KIND OF FIND WAY THEIR BACK TO THE TOP SPORT BECAUSE I MEAN LOOK AT THIS.

WITH HORSES AND RIDERS THAT WE'VE ALREADY SEEN HERE, I MEAN THEY REALLY COULD BE A THREAT.

AND THIS HORSE QUITE YUMG HAS A WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS FOR SURE IN ITS FUTURE.

POSSIBLE OLYMPIC GAMES IN ITS FUTURE AND IT'S FAST AND IT JUMPS AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL AND AGAIN THE PARTNERSHIP IS SO STRONG AND CURRENTLY ON A 30.2 HER AND HER HUSBAND AND TWO KIDS BASE UP IN CANADA NOW AND HAVE A REALLY WONDERFUL RIDING SCHOOL THERE.

THIS IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL HORSE, MODERN LEGGY ANIMAL.

HUGE WALK.

YOU KNOW, IT'S INTERESTING HERE BECAUSE I BELIEVE SHE DID THE FOUR SHORT AT KENTUCKY AND THIS ARENA IS ACTUALLY FEELS QUITE A BIT MORE INTIMATE THAN THE ARENA AT KENTUCKY.

SOME HORSES GOING INTO THE ARENA AT KENTUCKY AND FEEL AT PEACE BUT SOME FEEL LOST IN THAT SPACE.

HERE EVERYTHING FEELS A LITTLE CLOSER, A LITTLE MORE HOW IT WOULD IN EUROPE WHERE THE STANDS ARE ALMOST ON TOP OF YOU BUT THIS HORSE LOOKS VERY, VERY RELAXED.

YOU KNOW, WHICH IS AGAIN SHOWING MATURITY AT THE LEVEL.

29.

VERY NICE.

THIS HORSE CAN MISS A CHANGE OR TWO SO HOPING BY SAYING THAT SHE PROVES ME WRONG AND NAILS ALL FOUR OF THEM.

BUMPED UP TO 28.8.

NICE.

COSBY GREEN HAS LOST HER LEAD AT THE MOMENT BY .1.

FLYING CHANGES.

THERE IS ANOTHER ONE OUT OF THE WAY.

SHE WAS SECOND AT SABLE VIEW A COUPLE WEEKS AGO.

I THINK SHE MIGHT FEEL IN A VERY KIND AND CANADIAN WAY, THAT SHE HAS GOT A LITTLE LATE BEHIND.

SHE HAS GOT A LITTLE SOMETHING SHE HAS SOMETHING TO SHOW BY NOT BEING TAKEN TO PARIS.

A NICE CONSOLATION PRIZE WOULD BE PODIUM FINISH AT HER FIRST 5 STAR.

THIS IS GOING TO BE WHAT IS THE DECIDING FACTOR.

SPENCE?

>> , IT WAS A GOOD, CLEAN CHANGE.

AND JUST SLIGHTLY HOLDING MY BREATH AS SHE COMES INTO THIS FINAL PART BECAUSE IT'S SO, SO CLOSE, 28.0 IS LEADING.

IT WILL COME DOWN TO HARMONY.

>> MIGHT JUST SNEAK OUT IN FRONT AS THE TROT DOWN TO THE HALT AND THE JUDGES CAN SEE THAT FROM WHERE THEY ARE.

BUT IT'S GOING TO BE REALLY CLOSE.

I MEAN A FANTASTIC TEST, REALLY ONE CHANGE AWAY FROM TAKING THE LEAD OVER THERE.

THIS IS A FAST HORSE.

A BRAVE HORSE.

AND REALLY EXCITED FOR THIS PAIR FOR THIS WEEKEND.

VERY EXCITING WEEKEND AHEAD FOR LINDSAY AND BACYROUGE.

CANADA FIRMLY PUTTING THEMES ON THE MAP AT THE MELT IT'S USA, GREAT BRITAIN AND USA.

1, 2, 3.

>> FROM OUR POINT OF VIEW, WE JUST SEE DREAMY STICKING HIS HEAD UP AND ASKING FOR A GLASS OF CHAMPAGNE FROM THE SPONSOR TENT.

>> I THINK THEY SAID NO.

HE WASN'T I AM PROCEEDED.

SECOND, 30.7, 187.5, 185, 189.

30.7 FOR LINDSAY TRAISNEL AND BACYROUGE.

SO IT IS NOW USA, CANADA GREAT BRITAIN.

SHE LOOKS PLEASED WITH THAT, SINEAD.

>> I THINK SHE IS GOING TO BE THRILLED JUST STAYING OUT OF THE WAY THERE THAT IS A FANTASTIC TEST FOR HER.

FOR A RELATIVELY YOUNG HORSE, 13 YEARS OLD, FIRST 5 STAR, PRETTY EXCITING STUFF.

SO WE'VE GOT TWO LEFT TO GO.

ALLIE KNOWLES WITH MORSWOOD.

AND RICARDO OUT OF THE MARE PRINCESS IN ARMS AND THE DAMSIRE IS PRESENT ARMS.

BRED BY JOHN DOHERTY AND OWNED BY KATHERINE O'BRIEN.

>> KATHERINE SUCH A BIG SUPPORTER OF ALLIE AND SO FANTASTIC FOR THE PARTNERSHIP THAT THEY'VE FORMED TOGETHER.

THEY HAVE TRAVELED ALL OVER THE WORLD AND SUCH A FANTASTIC HORSE AND I LOVE THE WAY SHE CAME IN JUST FLYING AROUND IN THIS EXTENDED TROT SAYING COME ON, LOOK AT ME.

SHE HAD A RIDE EARLIER IN THE 3 STAR AND NEWER RIDE IN THE 3 STAR AND NOW SHE HAS HER, ONE OF HER FAVORITES OF ALL TIME COMING DOWN THE CENTER LINE IN MORSWOOD.

FORMER RIDE OF PIGGY MARCH.

C.E.O.ING HER AGE.

>> SHOWING MY KNOWLEDGE.

[LAUGHTER] >> WE WERE ALL SOMEONE BEFORE WE WERE MARRIED.

>> I STILL WANT TO CALL YOU SINEAD CALPIN BUT PIGGY MARCH RODE MORSWOOD AS WELL AT THE PARIS OLYMPIC GAMES EARLIER THIS YEAR.

AND THEN SHE RODE LINCOLN ACTS BURLEY, LOST HIM JUST AFTER BURLEY TO AN ACCIDENT IN THE FIELD AND HE WAS SADLY PUT TO SLEEP.

THAT WAS A VERY SAD STORY.

BUT BOTH PIGGY AND SUSIE HAD FABULOUS RESULTS WITH THIS HORSE.

AND ALLIE, SHE'S JUST SUCH A LOVELY RIDER TO WATCH.

SHE FORMS THESE WONDERFUL PARTNERSHIPS.

THAT'S WHY KATHERINE IS BEHIND HER AS AN OWNER.

SHE IS SO SUPPORTIVE BUT SHE IS A GRAPH TO THIS GIRL.

LOVES HER JOB.

THIS HORSE CAN DO A VERY GOOD DRESSAGE TEST AS WELL.

>> SHE IS REALLY LEAVING NOTHING ON THE TABLE HERE.

REALLY PUTTING IT INTO THOSE MEDIUM AND EXTENSION, LOVELY OUTLINE, LOVELY FRAME.

SHE JUST SNUCK SNOOT 20s I WAS HOPING TO SEE FORWARD AND FLUID INTO THE HALF PASS, CHANGE EVENT QUICKLY INTO THIS LEFT EIGHT METER CIRCLE AND DIRECTLY INTO THE SHOULDER END.

REALLY SCRUT-- REALLY EXECUTED THAT SO SMOOTHLY.

AGAIN IT'S ABOUT STARTING AND FINISHING EACH MOVEMENT AND KEEPING THE FLOW THROUGH THE TEST.

>> YEAH AND THIS HORSE LOOKS LIKE ALLIE CAN REALLY GO INTO THE ARENA AND RIDE.

A REAL PROFESSIONAL.

NOT HAVING TO DANCE AROUND THE SUBJECTS.

>> THAT RIDABILITY THOUGH GOING IN THERE WITH CONFIDENCE.

CONFIDENCE BREEDS CONFIDENCE BUT IF YOU ARE SET UP THERE FEELING TENTATIVE,-- LITTLE MISTAKE.

IF YOU ARE TENT TIFF, THE HORSES KNOW THAT AND SOME OF THEM WILL PLAY TO THAT IF YOU ARE TENTATIVE.

BUT KEEPING THE ACTIVITY, KEEPING THE EXCITEMENT, MAKING THESE HORSES POP MORE THAN THE LAST ONE, SO YOU ARE STANDING OUT FROM THE CROWD IS A REALLY HARD THING TO DO.

IT'S ARENA CRAFT.

IT'S SOMETHING THE RIDERS ARE NOW VERY WELL TRAINED, HAVING COME TO THE SPONSORS-- >> WE'VE SEEN THAT A FEW TIMES.

THERE ARE PEOPLE MOVING AROUND.

THEY'RE TRYING TO STAY STILL, BUT YOU KNOW, AS WE SAW JUST RECENTLY WITH LINDSAY, WHO WHOSE HORSE WANTED TO HAVE A DRINK OF CHAMPAGNE, MORSWOOD WAS HAVING THE SAME IDEA.

POPPED THROUGH THE CHANGE LIKE A LITTLE PONY.

CANTER A SMIDGE TIGHTER THAN THE TROT.

TROT WAS LOVELY.

TENSION CREEPED IN A LITTLE BIT.

A LITTLE DISTRACTED BUT A GOOD JOB OF GETTING MORSE BOOD BACK ON TRACK AND BACK TO THE BUSINESS.

>> VERY NICE.

STRAIGHT.

FOR ME THEY'RE A LITTLE BIT TIGHT.

AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE OPENNESS IN THE FLYING CHANGE.

JUST A LITTLE-- HE JUMPS TOGETHER.

WE'LL WATCH ANOTHER ONE AFTER THIS STRETCH IN A CIRCLE.

YOU KNOW YOUR HORSE'S STRENGTH AND YOU PLAY TO THE STRENGTH, WHEN ALLIE CAME IN AROUND THE ARENA GOING FOR THE LENGTHENING AND MEDIUM TROT, REALLY SHOWING OFF THE TROT BECAUSE THE CANTER IS GOOD BUT THE TROT IS BETTER.

AND SO REALLY STARTING OUT MAKING THE JUDGES NOTICE HER.

MAKING THEM LIKE-- SHE CAN GET THE CHANGES.

JUST MAINTAINING THE CANTER, MAINTAINING THE CHANGES, GETTING THOSE DONE AND PROVING THE TROT WORK 678 SO SHE CAN KEEP THE STORE AS LOW AS POSSIBLE.

BOOM.

>> BOOM.

YEAH, VERY WELL DONE FOR ALLIE KNOWLES AND MORSWOOD.

16-YEAR-OLD IRISH WAR HORSE, SUSIE BERRY OF COURSE WAS WORKING FOR MANY YEARS.

NOW PLACED ON HER OWN.

WE'VE GOT ONE LEFT TO GO.

>> WOW.

THAT JUST FLEW BY.

>> DIDN'T IT?

THIS TROT WORK IS SO PRETTY.

I LOVE THIS SEQUENCE THAT ALLIE DID HERE.

IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL FROM THE HALF PASS TO THE CHANGE OF BEND RIGHT TO THE SHOULDER AND SO SMOOTH, SO WELL RIDDEN.

AND IT'S JUST A LITTLE TIGHT, A LITTLE SHORT BEHIND BUT STILL CLEAN.

SO THE ONE LEFT TO GO IS BOYD MARTIN.

>> I'M VERY EXCITED FOR THIS.

COMMANDO.

>> A BEAUTIFUL HORSE.

JUST STUNNING.

I SAW THIS HORSE RECENTLY AND WAS-- WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN HIDING THIS ONE?

BUT ALLIE KNOWLES THERE.

32.4.

GOES INTO FOWFORTSDZ PLACE.

184.5, 183, 180, ALL THE JUDGES HAD HER IN FOURTH PLACE.

THAT IS THE WHISTLE, WHICH IS QUITE LOUD.

JUST TO TELL EVERYBODY, AND THE WOOLLY HATS LEFT OF SCREEN.

HE HELPS SO MANY RIDERS.

BUT WE'LL SEE ANOTHER FAMILIAR FACE IN JUST A FEW SECONDS IF BEE DO GET A CHANCE TO SEE HER AS ALLIE KNOWLES... ANOTHER FAMILIAR FACE.

JUST LEFT OF SCREEN IS BATINA WHO HAS BEEN HELPING BOYD WITH A NUMBER OF HIS HORSES, ALONG WITH BOYD'S WIFE, SILVA MARTIN WHO WAS OUR TEST RIDER IN THE 5 STAR.

SHE RODE A LOVELY TEST AND BETINA HAS BEEN HELPING BOYD FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AND THEY ACTUALLY WORK ALL THESE TRAINERS BUT ESPECIALLY WITH BOYD, IN BETINA SEASONED AIL VE WORK-- SILVA WORKING REALLY WELL TOGETHER.

THIS IS COMMANDO 3.

11-YEAR-OLD YOUNGEST THAT WE'VE SEEN IN THE 5 STAR THIS AFTERNOON, CONNOR H IS THE SIRE.

THE DAMSIRE AMIGO.

WE GO DOWN AND GO BACK AND HAVE A LOOK AT THAT BREEDING IN JUST A SECOND.

BUT OWNED BY YANKEE CREEK RANCH, LLC, HE IS SUCH A LOVELY, LOVELY HORSE.

VERY, VERY IMPRESSIVE.

VERY IMPRESSIVE PERFORMANCE IN PENNSYLVANIA AT PLANTATION.

THIS IS WHEN I SAW HIM FIRST.

SUB30 TEST THERE IN THE 4 STAR.

THIS IS HIS FIRST 5 STAR.

AND IT'S A DIFFERENT BALL GAME.

>> THIS HORSE RESERVED FOR THE PARIS OLYMPICS WITH BOYD.

HE WON THE 4 STAR LONG IN 2023.

SECOND BEHIND WILL DOLEMAN AND DIABOLO LEADING UP TO PARIS AND AND YEAH, EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS HORSE JUST SAYS CHAMPION NICE RHYTHM.

HOLDING A LITTLE BACK.

SO HE'S GOT THE EXTENSION TO COME.

GET BACK INTO THE BREEDING.

I HAD A VERY GOOD HORSE THAT I INVENTED, GREAT JUMPING SIRE THERE IS STILL WORK TO DO.

WE HAVE SEEN IT.

IT HAPPENS.

WHEN THE MISTAKES COME, THEY'RE VERY DOFTLY.

BOYD WILL BE LOOKING FOR WHAT WE CALL A CLEAR OUT.

HE IS HAVING A LITTLE... >> IT'S COMING AND THAT FORECAST A LITTLE BIT WAS WE HAVE TO LOOK FOR IN THE WALK.

WE'VE SEEN IT IN A FEW HORSES WHEN THEY COME INTO THE MEDIUM WALK FROM THE EXTENDED WALK, THEY JUST LOOK DOWN THAT LINE.

WE'VE GOT A LOT OF PEOPLE WATCHING.

IT CATCHES THE HORSE'S EYE.

HE STAYED POLITE, BUT WILL WE SEE THAT COME OUT IN THE WALK WORK.

>> THAT'S MUCH BUSIER THAN I HAVE SEEN IT ALL DAY.

>> THAT'S WHERE BOYD MARTIN'S FAN CLUB.

YOU CAN BUY JACKETS, SHIRTS, YOU CAN BUY POSTERS WITH BOYD'S FACE ON THEM.

>> CAN YOU?

>> OH YEAH.

>> OKAY.

I MIGHT HAVE TO GO BUY ONE.

SO HERE WE TAKE A BREATH.

STILL SLIGHTLY BEHIND COSBY'S TEST WITH A LOT OF CANTER WORK TO GO.

ONLY JUST.

>> YOU CAN SEE HIM STARTING TO LOOK AROUND.

>> THIS IS WHERE BOYD WILL NOW TRY TO INTENSIFY THE CONVERSATION DOWN THE REIN.

AND HE WILL BE JUST FEELING THE BIT, JUST WORKING THE REIN, HE HAS DONE AMAZINGLY WELL ALL THE WAY ACROSS THERE CONSIDERING HOW HE WAS IN THE TROT WORK.

HE HAS RIDDEN THAT BRILLIANTLY.

SO YOU JUST, IT'S LIKE PLAYING THE PIANO DOWN THE REIN AND KEEPING THEM INTERESTED.

KEEPING THEM FOCUSED ON YOU AS A RIDER.

>> YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHERE HE IS JUST TIPPED AHEAD OF COSBY AS HER MISTAKES CAME IN THAT WALK WORK AND YOU CAN SEE AT THE TOP, IT'S THESE LITTLE PLACES, IT'S THESE LITTLE POINTS WHERE YOU CAN WIN OR LOSE THE WIN.

>> MEDIUM CANTER.

LOVELY EXPRESSION.

FIRST THE FLYING CHANGES.

>> BEAUTIFUL.

AND YOU JUST GET THE SENSE, TOO, THAT THE HORSE IS VERY AWARE.

HE IS LOOKING AROUND BUT THAT'S WHO HE IS BY NATURE.

HE BEHAVES 679 HE KEEPS IT GOING.

>> WHAT DOESN'T HELP EITHER IS ON THE LEFT SIDE, HE HAS GOT WAS WE CALL A WALLEYE, SO YOU CAN SEE THE WHITES AROUND HIS EYE AND THAT MAKES IT LOOK LIKE HE IS LOOKING EVEN MORE WHEN ACTUALLY HE IS NOT.

HE IS NOT LOOKING ANYMORE THAN ANY OTHER HORSE.

BUT BECAUSE OF THE WALLEYE, REALLY EMPHASIZES THE DIRECTION THAT HE IS LOOKING IN.

BUT HE HAS GOT THAT SLIGHT SIDE TO HIM DOESN'T HE.

>> DEFINITELY.

NOTHING THAT BEAUTIFUL DOESN'T HAVE A LITTLE EDGE.

THAT'S WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT YOU, SPENCER.

>> CLEARLY DON'T.

IT'S SO CLOSE.

LOOK AT THOSE SCORES.

YOU KNOW, THIS IS BEEN A LOVELY TEST.

IT REALLY HAS.

ONE MORE FLYING CHANGE AFTER THIS STRETCH AND THAT'S A REALLY NICE STRETCH.

NICE LONG REIN, PICK THE REIN UP, NO CHANGE IN THE CANTER RHYTHM.

AND THE FINAL FLYING CHANGE.

WATCHING NOW THE RIGHT HIND LEG, THE ONE FURTHEST AWAY TO HIT THE GROUND FIRST AND DID.

>> AND HE RODE BEAUTIFULLY.

ORGANIZED AND HE MOVED UP INTO THE CHANGE WHICH REALLY GOT THE EXPRESSION.

>> HE DARE NOT.

SHE WILL BE WATCHING INTENTLY.

>> I DON'T KNOW WHO I WOULD BE MORE FEARFUL OF, SILVA OR BETINA.

SAVING THE BEST UNTIL LAST.

>> I'M GOING TO SAY YES.

I THINK THE HARMONY.

HE WOOS A 29.

I THINK WE ARE GOING TO SEE A 27-POINT-- >> STILL YOU SEE HIM LOOKING AROUND.

BUT AGAIN, VERY COMFORTABLE WITH LOOKING AROUND AND THAT'S WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER.

THE HORSE IS REALLY UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY CAN LOOK AROUND AND NOT BE FRIGHTENED OF WHAT THEY SEE.

>> WELL WE HOPE YOU HAVE ENJOYED IT ON THE RADIO.

>> THE RODEO?

>> THE RADIO.

I'M JUST GOING TO-- >> THERE IS ALSO A RODEO HERE.

IT'S CALLED THE FOUR AND FIVE-YEAR-OLD CHAMPIONSHIPS.

SCH THAT'S GOING ON, ISN'T IT?

>> YEAH THAT'S STILL GOING ON.

I THINK MARYLAND PANE WAS JUDGING THAT.

I THOUGHT WE ARE GOING TO GO 27.

THAT IS MY GUESSING.

VERY PLEASED WITH HIM.

FIRST 5 STAR TEST AND HE HAS AMAZING QUALITY.

AT THE MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, FRANKIE.

IT HAS BEEN AN INCREDIBLE DAY AT DRESSAGE.

SHE USED THE WORDS ABOUT SMALL AND MIGHTY, THE 5 STAR FIELD AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE SAID, THOUGH SHE BE BUT SMALL, SHE IS MIGHTY.

WE HAVE SEEN SOME REALLY IMPRESSIVE TESTS HERE ALREADY TODAY WITH VERY EXCITING HORSES TO COME TOMORROW.

BUT LET'S GO BACK AND JUST HAVE A RECAP.

THE 3 STAR.

SOME REALLY, REALLY EXCITING YOUNG RIDERS COMING UP THROUGH AND THEY'RE SITTING IN FIRST AND SECOND.

AHEAD OF ALLISON SPRINGER WHO SITS IN THIRD.

BUT FIRST WE SAW A REALLY, REALLY SUPER TEST FROM KIRSTEN AND THAT MARE WAS SO RELAXED IN THE ARENA.

MAMA MIA.

DIDN'T SHE GO WELL.

>> IT WAS REALLY FANTASTIC AND I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S SO AWESOME ABOUT THE 3 STAR HERE IS WE REALLY GET TO SEE THE FUTURE OF THE SPORT, ALBEIT THE HORSES ARE THE YOUNG RIDERS COMING UP AND I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE STARTED GOOGLING WHO THIS GIRL IS AND WHO THIS HORSE IS BECAUSE IT WAS A FANTASTIC RIDE AND EVEN SPEAKING TO SOME OF THE JUDGES, I THINK THEY WERE ALMOST A LITTLE LATE TO GET THE MARKS UP BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T EXPECTING IT AND AFTERWARDS WE WERE GOING WHAT DID WE JUST WATCH?

IT WAS IMPRESS EXPWHRIF SARAH SHULLMAN SITS IN SECOND.

THIS ENWE GO TO THE 5 STAR AND COSBY GREEN WHO CAME IN HERE WITH THAT LOVELY GRAY, A BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE.

I MEAN YOU WOULD NEVER IN DOUBT.

YOU LOOK AT SOME TESTS AND THINK THAT'S MAKING ME NERVOUS, BUT THEY LOOKED SO SOLID, SO PROFESSIONAL, SO CONFIDENT IN THERE AND IT REALLY SHOWED.

>> YEAH, IT REALLY WORKED AND SHE HAS BEEN OVERSEAS.

SHE HAS BEEN JUMPING AROUND THE BIGGEST TRACK, RIDING WITH THE BEST RIDERS IN THE WORLD AND SHE LOOKS AT HOME BECAUSE SHE IS BACK AT HOME.

TAKING THAT WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE SHE HAS GAINED AND BACK ON HOME TURF.

WE HEARD HER SAY EARLIER, SHE FEELS COMFORTABLE.

SEEING FRIENDLY FACES, ENJOYING THE MOMENT.

REALLY IMPRESSIVE TO SEE.

>> AND YOU KNOW, AGAIN, WE LOOK AT THE HORSES THAT ARE UP THERE ON THE DRESSAGE, WHEN WE STARTED THE 5 STAR, 17 AND 18 YEAR OLDS.

GREAT TO SEE, YOU KNOW, AWAY CRUISING 17 YEARS OLD MAKING THE TRIP ACROSS THE POND TO THE MARS MARYLAND 5 STAR.

IT'S TESTAMENT TO THE EVENT THAT HAS GROWN YEAR ON YEAR ON YEAR ON.

WITH ON CUE WINNING AND THEN LAST YEAR WITH THE WONDERFUL COLORADO BLUE WITH AUSTIN.

IT'S ALL THERE FOR THE TAKING.

AND WE KNOW THAT IAN STARK BUILDS A BIG TRACK.

WE'VE WALKED PART OF IT.

WE ARE GOING WALK THE REST OF IT SHORTLY.

BUT IT'S GOING TO BE VERY EXCITING COME SATURDAY.

YES, THE DRESSAGE IS GOING TO MATTER, BUT IT'S ALL GOING TO COME DOWN TO THE BRAVERY OF THE HORSES AND RIDERS COME SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

AND LOOK, WE HAVE SOME TOP RIDERS COMING TOMORROW IN THE DRESSAGE.

I MEAN THIS MIGHT BE A SHORT LIVED TOP OF THE PODIUM FOR COSBY.

WE ARE STARTING OUT WITH A BANG WITH BUBBY UPTON AND MAI BAUM WHO HAS WON A 5 STAR.

OLIVER TOWNEND WHO HAS WON MULTIPLE 5 STARS.

IT IS GOING TO COME IN THICK AND FAST, RIGHT AND THESE GUYS GOING OUT ON SATURDAY, THE DRESSAGE WILL BE FORGOTTEN ABOUT AND ALL WE WILL BE SEEING ARE THESE HORSES GALLOPING FLAT OUT ACROSS IAN STARK'S SWAN SONG OF A TRACK AND IT IS A DOOSEY, NO SWAN.

>> WE'VE GOT A SCOTTY DOG AS THE LAST FENCE ON THE 5 STAR.

IT IS WE WILL BE BRINGING YOU THAT COVERAGE LIVE HERE AND WE CAN'T WAIT.

MORE DRESSAGE TO COME TOMORROW AS SINEAD JUST SAID AND BUBBY UPTON WITH COLA WILL BE FIRST OUT TOMORROW AFTERNOON WITH AGAIN YOU SAID MAI BAUM.

BALLAGHMOR CLASS HAS WON 5 STARS.

HE IS A HORSE THAT YOU WOULD DEFINITELY NOT PUT YOUR MONEY ON AND WE CANNOT WAIT TO SEE HIS DRESSAGE TEST TOMORROW BECAUSE HE CAN REALLY DO A VERY, VERY SMART TEST.

BUT THE MAN THAT HAS TWO HORSES IN THE 5 STAR IS GREAT BRITAIN'S HARRY MEADE.

LET'S CATCH UP WITH HIM.

>> UR BACK HERE AT MARYLAND.

LET'S TALK ABOUT WHY YOU CHOSE TO COME BACK.

>> I LOVE THEY VENT.

I CAME HERE FOR THE FIRST YEAR THEY HAD THE 5 STAR THREE YEARS AGO AND THE SECOND YEAR.

I DIDN'T COME LAST YEAR SO I HAD TO MAKE UP FOR THAT WITH TWO HORSES.

>> A BIG TRACK COME SATURDAY.

A LOT TO DO HERE THIS WEEKEND BUT WE ARE THRILLED BECAUSE EACH ONE OF YOU HAS A VERY DECORATED STORY.

YOU BROUGHT TWO HORSES ACROSS THE POND.

TELL US ABOUT THEM.

>> MY FIRST HORSE IS THE WONDERFUL WELL RECOGNIZED GRAY HORSE, 17-YEAR-OLD CALLED AWAY CRUISING.

I'VE RIDDEN HIM SINCE HE WAS FOUR YEARS OLD.

HE IS THE COOLEST NICEST PERSON AND ABSOLUTELY LOVES HIS JOB.

FIRST TIME-- HE HAS GONE TO LOAD TO 5 STARS, BUT FIRST TIME OUT OF EUROPE.

WE GET SUCH A WARM WELCOME.

OUR LAST EVENT OF THE SEASON AND WE JUST THOUGHT.

THE OTHER HORSE I HAVE IS A YOUNG HORSE OPPOSITE END OF THE SPECTRUM.

10-YEAR-OLD FRENCH HORSE DOING HIS FIRST 5 STAR.

ONLY DONE THREE EVENTS IN HIS LIFE.

HE WON 3 STAR AND SOME 4 STARS.

I THINK HE IS A PROPER HORSE.

IMPRESSED HE.

LEVEL HEADED, REAL ATHLETE.

I ALWAYS SAY HE IS THE BEST HORSE NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD OF BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN KEPT UNDER WRAPS.

I'M CONFIDENT HE WILL BE ONE TO SHINE THE TOUGHER THE CONDITIONS GET AND LET'S HOPE IT'S A TOUGH COMPETITION AND THE CREAM GET A CHANCE TO RISE TO THE TOP AND WE DON'T SINK TO THE BOTTOM.

>> I DON'T THINK THAT WILL BE THE CASE ON IAN'S FINAL SWAN SONG IN THIS 5 STAR AND SO FAR IT'S BEAUTIFUL WEATHER.

PICTURESQUE.

EXCITED TO WATCH YOU THIS WEEKEND.

GOOD LUCK.

>> THANK YOU.
