* HELLO AND WELCOME TO FAIR HILL HERE IN ELKTON MARYLAND FOR THE SECOND EVER FAIR HILL.

THIS IS ONE OF SEVEN 5 STAR COMPETITION AS ROUND THE WORLD AND ONLY THE SECOND HERE IN THE AMERICAS AND PLAYS HOST TO A WORLD CLASS FIELD HOPING TO FOLLOW IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF LAST YEAR'S WINNER BOYD MARTIN FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

I'M JOHN KYLE AND ALONGSIDE ME IS WORLD U.S. SILVER MEDALIST TAMMY SMITH WHO WILL BE WITH ME TALKING THROUGH THE FIRST SESSION OF DRESSAGE AND AT THE MOMENT EVERYONE HERE IS CHASING DOWN YESTERDAY'S LEADING SCORE SET BY C'EST LA VIE AND WOODS BAUGHMAN.

HE WENT LAST OF THE DAY IN AWFUL, AWFUL RAIN.

HE SAID AT ONE STAGE HE COULDN'T SEE FROM ONE STAGE OF THE 20-METER RING TO THE OTHER AS HE RODE HIS MOVEMENTS BUT GOOD ENOUGH TO GO INTO THE LEAD AND FORMER NATIONAL 3 STAR AND 4 STAR CHAMPION IS OUR 5 STAR LEADER IN MARYLAND.

LET'S LOOK AT THE BROWN ADVISORY RESULTS AFTER DAY 1.

WE ARE GOING TO CATCH UP WITH WOODS BAUGHMAN.

WOODS BAUGHMAN IS IN FRONT OF ASTIER NICHOLAS.

AS A SAY, WOODS BAUGHMAN SPOKE TO FRANKIE EARLIER TODAY.

>> ABSOLUTELY MAGICAL DAY FOR YOU.

YESTERDAY WAS A DAY, YOU HAD TO RING OUT YOUR CLOTHING.

YOUR BOOTS ARE STILL ON THE DRYER BUT NONETHELESS, A STELLAR DAY FOR YOU.

TALK ABOUT YOUR TEST.

>> YEAH, I MEAN HE DID EVERYTHING PRETTY MUCH EXACTLY HOW, AS GOOD AS IT CAN BE FOR HIM AND I MEAN I COULDN'T SEE ACROSS THE RING MOST OF THE TIME BUT WE KEPT GOING AND KEPT OUR HEADS DOWN AND KEPT WORKING AND MADE THE BEST OF IT.

>> TODAY YOU GET TO HAVE THE DAY OFF.

HAVE YOU HAD A CHANCE TO TAKE IN THE MOMENT, THE FACT THAT YOU ARE LEADING THE 5 STAR DIVISION?

>> I MEAN I CHECKED MY PHONE THIS MORNING TO MAKE SURE THE SCORE HADN'T CHANGED OR ANYTHING.

IT'S DEFINITELY A CHANGE FROM HOW MOST OF THE YEAR HAS GONE.

IT HAS BEEN A GOOD WEEKEND SO FAR.

>> WE'LL WAIT TO SEE IF ANYONE CAN BEST YOUR SCORE BUT FOR NOW YOU ARE OUR LEADER GOING INTO TOMORROW AND WE DEFINITELY WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK, WOODS.

>> THANK YOU.

>> WOODS BAUGHMAN OUR OVERLIGHT LEADER.

DOUG PAYNE, QUANTUM LEAP.

>> THAT WAS WEIRD.

>> SOMEBODY DID SOMETHING WEIRD.

SO DOUG PAYNE IS FIRST TO GO AFTER THE LUNCH BREAK.

DOUG WITH HIS OWN AND JESSE QUANTITY QUANTITY QUANTUM LEAP.

SO HE HAD A COUNTDOWN ON THE SCREEN BUT THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE OFFICIAL BELL.

LILIAN HEARD, OLIVER THE RUNNER UP LAST YEAR, ALEX KNOWLES, HANNAH SUE IS WELL PLACED IN THE 3 STAR AS WELL.

JESSICA PHOENIX AND WAB IT, LANDMARK'S MONTE CARLO AND ERIN KANARA WITH CAMPGROUND AND OUR LAST OF THE DAY, BUCK DAVIDSON AND CARLEVO.

THIS HORSE TOP 10 LAST YEAR, FOURTH IN KENTUCKY.

>> THIS HORSE CAN END ON HIS DRESSAGE SCORES.

HE CAN GET QUITE LIT IN THE FIRST PHASE.

>> THE TEST IS SET.

THEY ALL RIDE EXACTLY THE SAME TEST.

THE MOVEMENTS ARE ARE GIVEN A MARK OUT OF 10 BY EACH OF THE THREE JUDGES MUCH WE MAKE THAT INTO A PERCENTAGE AND TAKE IT AWAY FROM ONE 100 TO GIVE US THE PENALTY SCORE AND IN THE CORNER OF YOUR SCREEN, YOU CAN SEE DOUG AT THIS MOMENT IN HIS TEST WITH ALL OF THE SCORES TO HAND VERSUS WOODS AT THE SAME MOMENT IN HIS TEST.

>> YOU CAN SEE IN THE HALF PASS THAT STARTED QUITE WELL BUT THEN THE HORSE GOT A LITTLE BEHIND HIM HE IS NOTED QUITE PUSHING OUT TO THE CONTACT BUT DOUG HAS TO BE TACTFUL HOW HE ADDRESSES THAT BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE THRTS QUITE A BIT OF TENSION HERE AND YOU ARE TRYING TO HAVE THAT MOMENT OF BRILLIANCE WITHOUT GETTING A BROKEN RHYTHM LIKE WE JUST SAW IN THE TROT.

>> THE HORSE OFFERING SO MUCH THAT ALMOST INEVITABLY STEPS BEYOND HIS OWN BALANCE THREE OR FOUR METERS FROM THE SIDE BOARDS.

>> BUT YOU CAN SEE WHERE THIS COULD REALLY GO.

IT HAS QUITE A BIT OF POTENTIAL, BUT THESE HORSES ARE SO FIT TO RUN AROUND THIS TRACK IS GOING TO BE 11 MINUTES 30 WHICH IS QUITE A LONG TRACK.

KENTUCKY IS JUST A LITTLE OVER 11 MINUTES SO THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF GALLOPING SO DOUG WOULD HAVE DONE HIS FITNESS WORK AT HOME AND GOT HIM VERY READY TO GO.

IT MIGHT SEEM LIKE THEISMEST OF THINGS, THESE HORSES ARE TRIATHLETES AND THEIR FOCUS HAS TO BE ON TOMORROW AND THE MUSE MUSCULATURE AND HAVING THEM BE SENSIBLE TO GIVE YOU A QUALITY WALK.

HERE TODAY IT IS DIFFICULT.

>> YOU KNOW THESE RIDERS, SOME OF THEM HAVE PRERIDDEN THE HORSES AND PREPPED THEM FOR THE TEST AND HAVE YOU TO BASE IT TERRORLY FOR WHEN YOUR RIDE TIME IS.

THERE IS SO MUCH THAT GOES INTO THIS AND YOU WANT TO HAVE JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF ENERGY WITHOUT HAVING TENSION AND WITHOUT HAVING WORKED THEM DOWN TOO MUCH AS WELL.

DOUG DOES A REALLY GOOD JOB.

THAT WAS A BEAUTIFUL HALT AND A VERY TACTFUL REIN BACK AND BACK UP TO CANADA PART.

NOT AN EASY MOVEMENT.

>> DOUG IS RIDING WHAT WE SAY, RIDING MARKER TO MARKER AND REALLY ACCURATELY.

HE IS NOT LEAVING ANY SCORE OUT THERE THAT HE POSSIBLY CAN.

MAYBE HE IS NOT RIDING 100% THE HORSE HE HAD HOPED FOR THIS AFTERNOON, LIKE WE'VE SEEN THAT LITTLE BIT, WITH THE LOSS OF BALANCE.

WE SAW THE HORSE BREAK HIS HEAD AND NECK CONTACT, THE SHAPE OF THE HEAD AND NECK WHAT IS WE REFER TO AS THE CONTACT SO THEY'RE COMING OUT 69 RING BACK UP TO CANTER AND YOU CAN'T AFFORD EVEN LITTLE FAULTS LIKE THAT IF YOU WANT TO TRACE DOWN A MID 20 SCORE LIKE WOODS BAUGHMAN HAS.

>> YEAH, BUT HE IS TRENDING BETTER THAN HE HAS IN THE PAST AND RIGHT NOW ON A 29, WHICH IS QUITE GOOD FOR THIS HORSE, IT COULD EASILY, YOU KNOW BE IN THE MID 30S SO I THINK HE SO FAR, IF HE CAN STAY TRENDING HERE, HE WILL BE VERY HAPPY.

>> QUITE A YOUNG HORSE FOR HIS LEVEL OF EXPERIENCE AT THE 5 STAR LEVEL.

JUST 11 YEARS OLD.

33.6 SO THE 5 STAR LEVEL THIS WOULD BE A VERY PLEASEY SCORE TO COME HOME ON.

>> AND WE HAVE THIS UNOFFICIAL KIND OF TEAM CHALLENGE FROM THE EUROPEAN RIDERS WITH THE TOP FOUR RANKED F.E.I.

U.S. RIDERS DOUG, MYSELF, WARREN KIEFFER AND WILL COLEMAN ARE ON THAT SO WE ARE SECRETLY CHEERING FOR THIS TEST TO BE HOPEFULLY RIGHT THERE IN THE RUNNING.

>> QUANTUM LEAP COMPLETING HIS TEST, GETTING OUR 5 STAR BACK UNDER WAY.

CHRISTIAN IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE JURY FOR THE 5 STAR.

GRETCHEN BUTTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TOP LEVEL DELEGATE AND JUDGE HERE IN NORTH AMERICA AND JUDY HANCOCK OF GREAT BRITAIN ALSO WELL KNOWN FACE OF THE 5 STAR AND ADVANCED LEVEL OF THE SPORT, GIVING THE SCORES IN THREE DIFFERENT POSITIONS AS WELL, SO THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT VIEW, A SET VIEW, WHEREAS OF COURSE WE CHANGE CAMERA ANGLES.

THEY'RE STUCK IN ONE PLACE WATCHING THE TEST EXCLUSIVELY FROM THAT POSITION.

AS WE WERE SAYING EARLY ON, SOME OF THE HALF PASSES, THE LATERAL WORK, ONE JUDGE IS VERY ABLE TO SEE THAT THE RIDER IS SITTING STRAIGHT ON THEIR SEAT AND THAT THE HORSE IS MOVING WELL SIDE TO SIDE WHILE THE JUDGE LOOKING AT FROM IT SIDE, CONTINUING TO LOOK AT THE QUALITY OF THE PACE BE IT HALF PAST CANTER OR TROT.

THEY WANT TO SEE THE QUALITY OF THE CANTER OR TROT STAYS AS GOOD AS IT WAS BEFORE THEY STARTED WORKING LATERALLY OR SIDEWAYS.

QUANTUM LOPE AND DOUG PAYNE WILL GET THEIR SCORE IN A HOAMENT.

A SUB30 FOR THE PAIR WOULD BE THE BEST SCORE AT THE 5 STAR LEVEL IN THIS, THEIR THIRD RUN AT THE LEVEL.

AND YOU SEE COURTNEY'S LONG TIME GROOM THERE ECSTATIC AND HAPPY AND THESE GROOMS ARE SO INVESTED, YOU KNOW, WITHOUT THEM AND HOW PROFESSIONAL AND AMAZING AND HOW WELL THEY TAKE CARE OF THE HORSES, AN EQUAL INVESTMENT HAVING THEM THERE AND YOU CAN JUST SEE HOW PROUD AND HAPPY SHE IS JUST WAITING FOR THE SCORE TO BE CONFIRMED FOR DOUG PAYNE.

WE WERE JUST SEEING SUB30 BUT WE HAVE HARRY MEADE IN THE RING AT THE MOMENT.

HARRY MEADE AND SUPERSTITION, 13-YEAR-OLD BY SATISFACTION, A RETURNING RIDER HERE AS WELL.

NICE TO SEE HARRY SUPPORTING THIS EVENT TWO YEARS IN A ROW.

WELL PLACED HERE IN THE INAUGURAL MARYLAND 5 STAR.

>> HARRY STARTED UP THE CENTER LINE, THE HORSE UNFORTUNATELY BROKE TO TROT BEFORE HIS HALT AND HE, YOU CAN TELL, HE IS QUITE OUTSIDE OF HIMSELF RIGHT HERE, BUT HARRY IS ALL THE PROFESSIONAL AND HE WILL MOST DEFINITELY GET HIM REINED BACK IN, I'M SURE.

>> SUPERSTITION IS A BEAUTIFUL HORSE BUT HE ACTUALLY HAS A GOOD BIT OF 5 STAR EXPERIENCE, ESPECIALLY TRAVELING.

HE HAS BEEN TO THE 5 STAR HERE BUT HE IS A HORSE THAT REALLY NEED TO FOCUS AND WHEN THERE IS A LOT GOING ON, THIS YUCK EVENT HORSE HERE TODAY, I THINK HARRY HAS TO BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT HOW HE PREPARES HIM FOR THE DRESSAGE TO HAVE THE BEST POSSIBLE START TO THE WEEKEND.

>> HE AND I WERE TALKING YESTERDAY AND HE SAID THAT HE TYPICALLY LETS THE HORSE GRAZE AND LET DOWN BEFORE HE EVEN GETS ON HIM FOR HIS DRESSAGE TEST, BUT WITH THE ROPING AND ALL THE STEWARDING AND EVERYTHING, IT WOULD BE REALLY INTERESTING ON HOW THAT HAPPENS.

HE WAS CONCERNED THEY WEREN'T GOING TO LET HIM DO IT.

I WONDER IF THAT IS WHAT WE ARE SEEING THAT HE DIDN'T HAVE HIS NORMAL KIND OF LET DOWN THAT HE IS USED TO DOING WHICH IS UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE IT'S A HUGE INVESTMENT FOR THESE RIDERS AND HORSES AND OWNERS TO COME OVER HERE AND TO, YOU KNOW, MAYBE GET A LITTLE BIT OF A MESSUP BUT THAT'S THE SPORT.

YOU HAVE TO ALWAYS DEAL WITH WHAT YOU ARE HANDLED ON THE DAY.

THIS HORSE IS READY TO RUN.

>> SUPER CITY GOVERNMENTS WAS AN EVENT RIDERS MASTERS WINNER AND THEN HARRY TOOK OVER THE RIDE ON THE HORSE.

WENT IMMEDIATELY TO POLAND AND WON AT THE 4 STAR LEVEL OF THE START.

THEY HAVE BEEN TO KENTUCKY AND THEY WERE FIFTH IN 2021.

SUCH A SHAME BECAUSE THE WALK, AS ONE OF THE PACES, THE SHORT AMOUNT OF WALK WE GET TO SEE IN THIS TEST HAS THAT RELATIVE IMPORTANCE BECAUSE THE JUDGES WANT TO SEE THE QUALITY OF EACH OF THE HORSES PACES.

THEY CAN JUDGE THE QUALITY BUT THEY HAVE TO JUN JUDGE WHAT THEY'RE SHOWN TODAY.

NOT JUST WHAT THEY CAN EXTRAPOLATE.

>> AND THEY HAVE TO DO A HALT AND REIN BACK AND THAT IS NOT HAPPENING WITH THE MENTAL STATE HERE.

HE IS SMART TO TAKE WHAT HE CAN GET.

HOPEFULLY HE SETTLES DOWN IN THIS CANTER WORK.

HARRY RIDES A NICE FLYING CHANGE IN THE CANTER.

YOU CAN SEE HIM HERE KEEPING THE CANTER THOUGH, AT THIS POINT, QUITE SHORT AND CONTAINED.

THE JUDGES WILL JUST COUNT THAT AGAINST THEM BECAUSE IT MEANS HOLDING THE HORSE BEHIND THE VERTICAL IN A VERY CONTAINED OUTLINE RATHER THAN CARRIAGE.

QUITE EXCITED A MOMENT AGO WHEN THE SCORING CHIP WENT DOWN TO 29, GOOD OL' HARRY BUT I THINK THIS IS A LITTLE MORE ACCURATE AT 36/35.

I MEAN I HAVE TO SAY, I THINK IT'S QUITE GENEROUS CONSIDERING ALL THE TENSION INVOLVED.

THERE ARE HORSES FROM YESTERDAY THAT SCORED THIS SAME MARK AND THEY HAD BASICALLY A VERY RELAXED TEST.

THAT'S PART OF IT, TOO.

FROM ONE DAY TO THE OTHER, THAT JUDGING CAN CHANGE AND IT IS THE SPORT.

IT'S THE SUBJECTIVENESS OF THE SPORT, WHICH IS NOT ALWAYS, YOU KNOW, NOT ALWAYS GREAT BUT I HAVE A FEELING IT'S DEFINITELY NOT GOING TO BE A DRESSAGE COMPETITION.

>> SIGNIFICANT CHANGES FOR THE CROSS-COUNTRY RACE.

LAST YEAR WE REALIZED WE WERE OR DEALING WITH A CROSS-COUNTRY COURSE THAT HAS A SIGNIFICANT CLIMB.

THE TERRAIN THAT THEY HAVE TO TAKE ON IS GOING TO BE A BIG PART OF THE TEST TOMORROW.

[ APPLAUSE ] I THINK AT THIS STAGE WHERE, TO BE UNLUCKY ENOUGH TO JUMP BACK, HE WOULD BE OKAY BECAUSE HE HAS HALTED.

>> THE TEST IS OVER WITH.

GALLOP OUT OF THE ARENA.

>> SO LET'S CATCH UP WITH OUR INITIAL RIDER OF THE AFTERNOON, DOUG PAYNE.

SMIELTS BECAUSE WE HAVE HIS SCORE.

IT IS A 29.6 AND THAT GOES INTO FIFTH PLACE FOR DOUG ON 70.37%.

USA'S WOODS BAUGHMAN IN SECOND AND THEN TAMMY SMITH AND DOUG MAINE.

-- DOUG PAYNE.

HARRY MEADE IS LEAVING THE RING WITH SUPERSTITION AND AS WE STAND BY, LET'S CATCH UP WITH THE EVENT DIRECTOR JEFF NEWMAN AND PRESIDENT AND C.E.O.

OF THE MARYLAND 5 STARS YOU MADE AMAZING CHANGES, HARD TO BELIEVE IT COULD GET BETTER BUT IT EVEN HAS.

>> IT HAS BEEN REALLY EXCITING FOR A SECOND YEAR.

WE LEARNED SO MUCH IN THE FIRST YEAR AND MADE SOME REAL IMPROVEMENTS.

I THINK GOING THROUGH A YEAR OF COVID WAS DIFFICULT TO PLAN BUT,000 THAT WE KNOW THE SPECTATORS ARE FULLY WIDE OPEN, WE HAVE MADE SOME GOOD CHANGES, BASIC STUFF.

MORE SHUTTLES, MORE BATHROOMS, MORE FOOD OPTIONS.

THINGS LIKE THAT NOW THAT WE KNOW WHAT OUR CROWDS ARE AND COOL CHANGES LIKE HAVING THE CROSS-COUNTRY COME THROUGH THE ARENA AND DIFFERENT RESTAURANTS AND HOSPITALITY.

A LOT OF FUN.

>> SO MUCH GOES ON BEHIND THE SCENES AND SO MUCH PLANNING GOES INTO THIS EVENT.

ALL YEAR LONG YOUR TEAM IS FEROCIOUSLY HARD AT WORK AND FOR YOU, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT STAND OUT THAT THE TEAM IS ABLE TO DO AND PUT THIS EVENT ON IN CECIL COUNTY.

>> IT STARTS OUT WITH A PASSIONATE GROUP.

THEY LOVE THE EQUESTRIAN INDUSTRY.

MOST OF THEM HAVE HORSES THEMSELVES AND RIDE.

I BRING THE COMMERCIAL COMPONENT TO IT SO WITH OUR GROUP AND FAIR INTERNATIONAL, OUR PARTNER, WE HAVE A REALLY GOOD PARTNERSHIP THAT HELPS CREATE THE EVENT.

A LOT OF FUN, REALLY NICE PEOPLE THAT LOVE THE SPORT.

>> THERE IS DEFINITELY SOME AMAZING PEEP BEHIND THE SCENES, A GREAT GROUP OF SPONSORS WHO MAKE THIS WHOLE EVENT POSSIBLE AND REALLY EXCITING SPONSORS WHO HAVE STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE THIS YEAR.

FAITH WITH US LAST YEAR, AN UNKNOWN EVENT AND UNKNOWN FACILITIES AND MARS STEPPED UP TO BE AWR POOR AND BROWN ADVISING AND HAD GROUPS THAT WERE THERE FROM THE BEGINNING AND CONTINUE TO STEP IT UP.

WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO CONTINUING OUR SPONSORSHIP EFFORTS AND JUST GREAT PARTNERS AND GREAT ACTIVATORS AS WELL.

>> GREAT RIDERS WHO HAVE COME ACROSS THE POND AND SOME OF THE BEST ATHLETES IN THIS COUNTRY HERE THIS WEEKEND AND IT WILL BE A VERY FUN TIME.

IF YOU ARE HERE IN PERSON, CHECK OUT ALL THE THINGS THIS AMAZING VENUE HAS TO OFFER.

AND IF YOU ARE NOT, YOU BETTER GET THIS ONE ON YOUR BUCKET LIST FOR NEXT YEAR.

>> THANKS JEFF.

>> MY PLEASURE.

THANKS.

>> 2016 WAS THE FIRST TIME FOR THEM.

THEY COMPLETED FOUR TIMES AND COMPETED HERE LAST YEAR AS WELL.

THEY HAVE BEEN TO BURLEY AND WENT TO BABBINGTON THIS YEAR AS WELL.

>> BARNABY CAN BE QUITE LIT IN THE DRESSAGE.

THIS IS LOOKING QUITE PLEASANT AND VERY WELL BEHAVED.

LILIAN IS PUTTING ON A VERY GOOD SHOW HERE.

SO LET'S HOPE AND PRAY THAT HE KEEPS BEING VERY WELL BEHAVED HE IS REALLY A CROSS-COUNTRY MACHINE.

HE IS GOES OUT THERE AND JUST... HAS A TREMENDOUS GALLOP.

IT IS AWESOME THE 5 STAR LEVEL FOR THE LAST SIX YEARS.

THAT'S IMPRESSIVE.

>> TWICE TOP 20 IN BURLEY.

THEY HAVE BEEN THERE THREE TIMES.

I THINK THEY WERE DETERMINED TO GO BACK AND FINISHED TWICE IN THE TOP 20, IN 18 AND 19.

WE SAW THE SCORE COME THROUGH, 37.5 FOR MARRY FOR HARLEY MEADE-- FOR HARRY MEADE.

A LITTLE BETTER MOVE MOVEMENT BY MOVEMENT DROPPING BELOW 32 PENALTIES A SECOND AGO.

>> HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN GIVING THE JUDGES SOME PASTRIES OR SOMETHING FOR THAT SCORE.

HALF CIRCLE COMING TO THE SHORT DIAGONAL.

YOU CAN SEE HER BALANCING THE HORSE GETTING READY FOR THE CHANGE.

UNFORTUNATE HE WAS NOT ONLY NOT ON THE CENTER LINE BUT ONE STRIDE BEHIND WHICH IS UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE HE LOOKED LIKE HE COULD HAVE REALLY HAD A PROPER GOOD CHANGE THERE BUT IT'S HARD.

IT'S THIS VERY FINE BALANCE OF GETTING THEM PUSHED COMPLETELY THROUGH AND NOT LOSING THEM MENTALLY.

>> JUST COMING TOWARDS US OF COURSE COMING THE OTHER DIRECTION CHANGING LEFT TO RIGHT AND THEN RIGHT TO LEFT, THE CHANGE RIGHT TO LEFT.

>> YOU CAN SEE HER BEING A BIT CONSERVATIVE ON THE EXTENDED CANTER HERE BUT SHE KNOWS SHE PROBABLY WOULD RATHER HAVE, YOU KNOW, LOWER SCORE HERE SO THAT SHE CAN STILL GET HIM THROUGH THE END OF THE TEST.

BUT HE LOOKS LIKE HE IS BEING VERY WELL BEHAVED; OBVIOUSLY LILIAN CAN FEEL WHAT SHE HAS UNDERNEATH HER BUT I THINK THE OVERALL PERCEPTION IS THAT HE IS BEING VERY OBEDIENT AND RELAXED.

WE DON'T SEE EVERYBODY GOING ALL OUT BECAUSE OF THE EXTENSION, WHICH IS THE FUNNEST PART BECAUSE YOU GET SO SEE WHAT THEY MIGHT SHOW YOU ON CROSS-COUNTRY AND TO GO STRAIGHT FROM THAT EXTENSION TO STRETCHING CIRCLES IS VERY DIFFICULT.

SO LILIAN AND LCC BARNABY WILL GET THEIR SCORE AFTER ALL THE 3406789S AND HARMONY SCORE THAT THE THREE JUDGES GIVE.

LOOKING LIKE 33 PENALTIES FOR THE PAIR WHICH WOULD SIT JUST INSIDE OUR TOP 10 AT THE STAGE WITH 27.2 LOOKING VERY COMFORTABLY OUT IN FRONT FOR WOODS BAUGHMAN AND LET'S NOT FORGET THAT WOODS IS 1.9 PENALTIES IN FRONT OF HIS NEAREST COMPETITOR AFTER DAY ONE ASTIER NICHOLAS SOME HORSES WILL NEVER REALLY GIVE THAT STRETCH CIRCLE.

THERE ARE OTHERS THAT ABSOLUTELY RELISH THAT MOMENT IN THE TEST.

THEY REALLY STRETCH OUT AND DOWN FOR THEIR RIDER AND SHOW EXACTLY WHAT THE JUDGES ARE AFTER, WHAT THE WRITERS OF THE TEST WERE AFTER WHEN THEY PUT IT IN.

LILLY SCORES 33.4.

SO THAT GOES INTO OUR TOP 10.

GOES INTO EIGHTH POSITION FOR LILIAN HEARD AND LCC BARNABY.

>> SHE WILL BE VERY HAPPY WITH THAT.

VERY HAPPY.

I THINK THAT I WOULD ASSUME THAT WOULD BE ONE OF HER BETTER SCORES AT THE LEVEL.

WE HAVE OLIVER TOWNEND AND AS IS IS NEXT.

I'M SURE WE WILL SEE A GOOD SCORE HERE.

>> OLIVER, WE WOULD BE EXPECTING TO CHALLENGE FOR THE TOP OF THE LEADERBOARD AT THE VERY LEAST IF NOT TODAY, THEN COME SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

HE WAS PIT HERE BY .1 OF A PENALTY LAST YEAR.

OLIVER, THIS IS A RIDE HE TAKES OVER FROM HIS GREAT FRIEND ANDREW NICHOLSON.

THEY WERE TOP 10 THIS YEAR AND SECOND IN THE 4 STAR AT BLAIR.

AND ASTIER NICHOLAS AND BABYLON de GAMMA, THIS WILL BE AS IS' FIRST 5 STAR.

OLIVER HAS SPENT A LONG TIME AS NUMBER 1.

HE HAS BEEN PICKED TO BE WORLD NUMBER 3 ON THE MONTHLY ROLLING RANKINGS.

GOLD MEDALIST WITH THE BRITISH TEAM AT THE TOKYO OLYMPIC GAMES LAST SUMMER.

>> HE HAS BEEN WORLD NUMBER 1 FOR QUITE A WHILE SO THERE IS NOTHING BETTER THAN HAVING A LITTLE UPSET TO BE KICKED OFF OF THAT NUMBER ONE SPOT GOING INTO A 5 STAR.

HE IS A VERY DETERMINED COMPETITOR BUT I'M SURE HE WILL BE EVEN MORE COMPETITIVE THIS WEEKEND.

THE LAST COUPLE EVENTS HAVE NOT GONE TO HIS PLAN BUT THAT'S OUR SPORT.

WE ALL EXPERIENCE THE HIGHS AND LOWS.

>> YOU CAN BET THIS GUY IS GOING GET EVERY POINT HE CAN OUT OF HIM.

>> NOT UNUSUAL FOR OLIVER TO TAKE A 5 STAR VICTORY IN THE HORSE'S FIRST 5 STAR.

HE DID THAT FAMOUSLY AT BURLEY 679.

>> HE HAD ANOTHER GRAY HORSE FROM ANDREW NICHOLSON AS WELL.

IS THAT CORRECT, AT BADMINTON.

I ALMOST THOUGHT THIS WAS THE HORSE BUT IT'S NOT.

WAS THAT SOLACE SPRINGS.

>> YES, A GOOD FRIEND, TWO 5 STAR HORSES.

>> GREAT OWNER IN SIR JOHN PEACE AND HIS DAUGHTER VICTORIA WRIGHT.

SHE TRAVELED OVER TO WATCH THE HORSE THIS WEEKEND AS WELL.

JUST AGAIN, WHEN YOU COMPARE OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST WORLD NUMBER 1 WITH A FIRST TIME 5 STAR HORSE BUT THE SCORES WE ARE SEEING HERE COMPARED TO, YOU KNOW, YOUNG TALENT, WOODS BAUGHMAN, OUR LEADER 26.4 AT THIS POINT AND WOODS' TEST 29.5 FOR OLIVER.

THIS.

>> THIS HORSE STRUGGLES A LITTLE BIT BUT YOU CAN TELL IN ITS CONFIRMATION IT IS BUILT DOWNHILL OLLY IS DOING A VERY GOOD JOB WITH TRYING TO RIDE IT IN AN UPHILL BALANCE BUT YOU CAN REALLY SEE HIM, YOU KNOW, HE IS PRODUCING THAT UPHILL BALANCE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, BUT IT'S NOT-- IT WOULDN'T BE EASY.

IT'S NOT A SUPER SUP WILL HORSE.

-- SUP WILL IT IS NOT A SUPER SUPPLE HORSE.

THE JUDGING OVERALL, IT COULD HAVE BEEN THAT THE RAIN AND ALL THAT, THEY DON'T GET TO SEE AS MUCH BUT I WOULD SAY THAT THE JUDGING SEEMS A BIT MORE GENEROUS TODAY THAN YESTERDAY.

THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A FLAT.

IT WASN'T A LATE CHANGE BUT IT WAS FLAT AND NOT ON AID.

I'M SURE THIS HORSE IS GOING TO DO A GREAT STRETCH CIRCLE.

ILL REALLY WANTS TO BE KIND OF IN THIS FRAME ALREADY.

HE HAS BEEN HOVERING BETWEEN 28 AND 29 WHICH IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SECOND AND SIXTH WITHIN THAT ONE PENALTY RANGE VERY INTERESTING TO SEE WHERE THIS LANDS BECAUSE WE HAVE SEEN THAT KIND OF SCORE.

LIZ HALLIDAY-SHARP 29.3, TAMMY SMITH 29.4.

DOUG PAYNE 29.6.

ANYWHERE YOU FALL IN THAT, YOU COULD BE AS HIGH AS SECOND, OR AS LOW AS SIXTH.

ON A 29.

I THINK WE SHOULD GO TO THE OLIVER TOWNEND SCHOOL OF SALUTING.

>> TO TAKE NOTHING AWAY FROM THE ACTUAL EXECUTION, THE HALT BEFORE THE REIN BACK, I WATCHED 53 STAR TEST, PROBABLY THE BEST HORSE WE'VE HAD HERE IN MARYLAND THIS YEAR.

, THIS GUY-- >> YOU ARE BRINGING THE WEST COAST VIBE AND I'M BRINGING THE RESTRAINED EUROPEANS, LIKE, WELL, I DON'T KNOW.

>> WE NEED.

WE SHOULD HAVE A COMPETITION FOR THE MOST EXCITING FINAL HALT.

LOOK AT THAT.

>> JUST WAITING FOR ALL THE SCORES TO COME THROUGH.

WE ARE JUST WATCHING THIS SCORE BAUBLE UP AND DOWN BY POINTS OF PENALTIES.

SCORE COMES IN AT 29.8, 70.250 IS THE SCORE AND AGAIN IT IS INCREDIBLY CLOSE.

29.1 SECOND, 29.3 THIRD, 29.4 FOURTH, SO.7 OF A PENALTY BETWEEN SECOND AND SIXTH.

HERE COMES ALLIE KNOWLES ON HER BEAUTIFUL MOORSWOOD.

I BELIEVE SHE WAS HERE LAST YEAR.

MORSWOOD.

SHE WAS HERE LAST YEAR.

ALLIE IS AN AMAZING COMPETITOR.

THEY WERE 11th LAST YEAR.

FIRST 5 STAR TOGETHER.

ALLIE HAS RIDDEN IN THE 5 STAR LEVEL AS WELL.

THIS HORSE ORIGINALLY CAME OVER IN GREAT BRITAIN.

WE HAD A NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL JUMPER SHOW THE LAST TWO WEEKS AND ALLIE AND MORSWOOD SNUCK INTO MY RING ONE MORNING WITH 30-METER JUMPERS.

>> SO NICE.

SHE IS BASED IN KENTUCKY AND HAS THAT REALLY BEAUTIFUL VENUE THERE TO GO PRACTICE ALL THOSE JUMPERS.

THAT'S WAS WE HAVE TO DO AS EVENT RIDERS, YOU HAVE TO BE A MASTER AT EVERY PHASE NOW VERY POSITIVE SCORE TO BE STARTING ON HERE FOR ALLIE.

WE WERE WATCHING HER LEVEL AND ONLY JUST FALLING BEHIND IN THE EARLY SCORES.

>> AND THE HALF PASS WAS VERY GOOD BUT THEN HE DID THE 10-METER CIRCLE AND THAT GOT A LITTLE BIT AWAY FROM HER AND HE STARTED TILTING HIS HEAD.

I THINK SHE LOST POINTS AND HE SHAKES HIS HEAD RIGHT THERE.

HIS HALF PASS TO THE RIGHT IS QUITE GOOD.

THIS IS A BETTER EIGHT METER CIRCLE, NOT 10 METERS.

AND A BETTER.

SHE COULD HAVE MORE BEND AROUND THE INSIDE LEG.

AS SHE FINISHED THAT MUCH BETTER.

THE WHOLE RANGE OF SPACE BETWEEN WOODS' 27.2 AND THE NEAREST COMPETITOR AND 29.1.

ANYTHING THAT LOOKS LIKE 28 WHEN WE FINISH WOULD GO SECOND AT THE MOMENT THOUGH 26 WOULD GO SOME FRONT.

PREPARING WHERE HE WAS AHEAD BUT 27.1 AND 27.2 IS HIS COMPLETION SCORE.

>> IT WILL BE A VERY EXCITING DAY TOMORROW ON THE CROSS-COUNTRY WITH ALL THESE HALF POINT, I MEAN ONLY .1,.2 FROM SEPARATING, YOU KNOW, FIVE OR SIX PLACINGS, PRETTY IMPRESSIVE THAT WAS A GREAT HALT.

SOME RESISTANCE IN THE REIN BACK BUT A GOOD LEAD, YOU KNOW, PUSH OFF TO THE RIGHT LEAD CANTER I THINK SHE DO HAVE SHOWN A TRANSITION FROM THE MEDIUM CANTER TO COLLECTED CANTER AT THAT MOMENT TO JUST GET ANOTHER HALF POINT BETTER.

THAT WAS A GREAT FLYING CHANGE, MAYBE A HALF STRIDE TOO EARLY.

BUT THEY'RE NOT DOCKING HER FOR THAT.

IN THIS HALF PASS, THE HORSES START TO DROP DOWN THEIR HEAD AND NECK AND WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE IS THAT THEIR BEHIND LEG LOWERS AND THEIR FRONT SHOULDER LIFTS AND REACHES ACROSS.

YOU GET A NICE BEND AROUND YOUR INSIDE LEG.

AND SO THIS IS A DIFFICULT MOVEMENT FOR OUR EVENT HORSES BECAUSE THEY'RE SO OFTEN NOT BUILT TO BE UPHELD DRESSAGE HORSES SO YOU HAVE TO GET THE THROUGHNESS FROM BEHIND AND SHE WILL, I THINK, HOOD SOME MARKS IN THOSE TWO CANTER HALF PASSES.

>> ONE THING THOUGH SHE HAS NEVER CRACKED 30 AT A 5 STAR.

>> TODAY COULD BE THE DAY.

WE HAVE HAD TWO PERSONAL BESTS SO FAR.

THAT WOULD BE VERY VALUABLE AS WELL BECAUSE THE SUB30 SCORE SHE IS LOOKING LIKE IS GOING TO GO INTO SECOND.

>> GETS A LITTLE BIT AWAY FROM HER THERE BUT A CLEAN CHANGE.

[ APPLAUSE ] >> HUGE SMILES AND RICHLY DESERVED SMILES FOR ALLIE KNOWLES AND MORSWOOD AS THEY LAY DOWN A MARKER HERE AT THEIR FIRST SUB30 AS A PARTNERSHIP AT THE 5 STAR LEVEL OF THE SPORT AND IT COULD TAKE THEM VERY VERY HIGH AS THINGS CURRENTLY STAND 27.2 LEADS FOR WOODS BAUGHMAN AND C'EST LA VIE.

>> DOES THAT LOOK LIKE THE FINAL SCORE FOR OLLY-- MOMENTS AFTER WE PUT UP THE GRAPHICS FOR OLIVER, IT FLICKED WE PUT THE GRAPHIC DOWN OFF YOUR SCREEN AND IT CHANGED TO 30.1.

IF YOU ARE FOLLOWING AND YOU ARE LOOKING, 30.1 IS THE SCORE OR OLIVER AND REMAINS IN SIXTH POSITION.

SOOT VERY SMART HALT.

YOU CAN SEE THE HORSE BEING A LITTLE RESISTANT, DRAGGING THE FEET ALONG THE GROUND, IN A PERFECT WORLD FOR A 10 WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY IMPOSSIBLE ANYWAY, YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THEM TO LIFT AND SMARTLY STEP BACK IN THE DIAGONAL PAIRS.

A GOOD TEST FOR ALLIE KNOWLES AND MORSWOOD.

WITH THE SORT OF SCORE WE ARE EXPECTING TO COME IN, MIGHT NOT BE TOO LONG BEFORE SHE IS CHALLENGING YOU PINK COAT WEARERS BIG U.S.

TEAM RIDER.

>> SHE IS FOR SURE ONE OF THE FUTURE OF THE SPORT.

ALLIE HAS BEEN KNOCKING AT THE DOOR FOR QUITE SOMETIME NOW AND SHE HAS GOT GREAT OWNERS WHO I BELIEVE OWN THIS HORSE BEAUTIFUL FARM IN KENTUCKY AND IT'S REALLY AWESOME.

SHE IS A FORMER WEST COAST RESIDENT AND MOVED TOUT KENTUCKY AND WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO MEET THEM AND THEY HAVE JUST BEEN SO SUPPORTIVE AND SO GREAT FOR HER AND SHE HAS A REALLY AMAZING STRING.

LIKE I SAID, IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THAT GIRL IS WEARING A PINK COAT.

>> 28.6 AS WE SAW THE SCORE FOR ALLIE KNOWLES.

SECOND BEST BEHIND WOODS BAUGHMAN AND C'EST LA VIE.

TWO MORE TO GO AND IT IS GOING TO BE AN EMOTIONAL WEEKEND FOR THIS NEXT PAIR.

HANNAH SUE HOLLBERG, HANNAH SUE AND THE NEW 19-YEAR-OLD CRUISING HORSE, HARBOUR PILOT, PAN AM TEAM MEDALIST AND SUSTAINING MEMBERRIST IN 2011.

SINCE THEN BEEN TO BRENHAM, BURLEY AND COMPLETED MARYLAND LAST YEAR.

TOP 10 SEVERAL TIMES TOP 15 IN KENTUCKY, INCLUDING THIS SPRING.

HE HAS BEEN AN INCREDIBLE SERVANT AND HANNAH SUE HAS ANNOUNCED THIS WILL BE HIS LAST RUN.

SHE SAID I'M GOING TO FIND IT VERY HARD NOT TO SPEND THE ENTIRE WEEKEND RIDING AND BLUBBERING AND CRYING BUT I'M GOING TO TRY TO DO THE VERY BEST BY HIM.

WE HAVE A COUPLE OF 19-YEAR-OLD HORSES AT BURLEY THIS YEAR BUT MAYBE NONE OF THEM HAVE DONE AS MUCH AS HARBOUR PILOT.

>> THIS HORSE HAS BEEN INCREDIBLE FOR HER.

WHEN YOU FIRST HEAR ABOUT THE START OF HIS CAREER, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE THOUGHT, I DON'T THINK ANYBODY THOUGHT HE WOULD HAVE ENDED UP GALLOPING AROUND THOSE BIG TRACKS, BUT, YES, HE HAS TAKEN HER ALL OVER THE GLOBE AND HER FIRST TEAM COMPETITION AND MEDAL AND IT HAS BEEN SUCH A JOY TO WATCH.

>> BONE AND BRED BY JACKIE MARS WHO IS OF COURSE, INCREDIBLE SUPPORTER IN HER OWN RIGHT OF OUR SPORT AND THE FAMILY MARS COMPANY HAVE FOR MANY YEARS BEEN SUPPORTERS AND NOW WITH THEIR MARS EQUESTRIAN DIVISION, VERY MUCH FOCUSED ON DEVELOPING THE GRARNTD PROFILE-- THE BRAND PROFILE WITHIN OUR SPORT YOU CAN SEE THE LOVELY OUTLINE HE HAS.

A LOVELY BALANCE FROM HIS WITHER COMING OUT FROM HIS NECK AND OUT TO THE CONTACT AND THAT'S WHAT, YOU KNOW, HE WOULDN'T BE THE MOST EXTRAVAGANT MOVER BUT THE CORRECTNESS IS VERY CORRECT SO YOU ARE STARTING TO SEE, YOU KNOW, THE SCORES GOING GIVEN TO HER BECAUSE OF THAT.

>> HANNAH SUE HAD A CRACKING SCORE AT THE 3 STAR WHERE SHE IS AMONG OUR LEADERS THERE.

THAT MUST HAVE SET HER UP.

>> SHE HAS BEEN EXPERIENCED.

A LITTLE LOW PROFILE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, BUT SHE IS NOT A STRANGER TO THE WINNER CIRCLE IN ALL THREE PHASES, SO I THIS I SHE FEELS MORE THAN CAPABLE OF EVEN KNOCKING WOODS OFF HIS LEADERBOARD IF HARBOUR PILOT DECIDES TO COOPERATE.

HE CAN ACTUALLY BE A LITTLE BIT OF A NAUGHTY PONY IN THIS PHASE.

BUT IT LOOKS LIKE TODAY HE IS COMPLETELY WITH HER, WHICH IS FITTING FOR HIS FINAL 5 STAR DRESSAGE TEST.

HE LOOKS AMAZING.

19 YEARS OLD.

LOOK AT HIM HIS COAT, HIS BODY, HIS MUSCLING JUST LOOKS BEAUTIFUL ONE OF THE THINGS YOU MIGHT HAVE SAID ABOUT OUR 19 YEAR OLDS AT BURLEY, PARTICULAR WILL I IN THE DRJ, MAYBE THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE FLEX AS THEY HAD EARLIER ON IN THEIR CAREERS.

>> I THINK YOU CAN SAY THAT.

YOU CAN TELL WHERE THAT LITTLE BIT OF A LID IS PUT ON HIM IN THAT HALT.

HE DIDN'T EVEN, I DON'T THINK HE HALTED.

IT WILL BE INTERESTING WHAT THE JUDGES GIVE HER FOR THAT BECAUSE HE NEVER IMMOBILELY HALTED.

SO YOU CAN SEE WHERE THIS HORSE CAN KIND OF YOU KNOW, GET A LITTLE BIT OUTSIDE OF HIMSELF BUT HANNAH DID A GREAT JOB.

SHE IS A VERY GOOD TECHNICIAN IN THE RING AND SHE HAS A HUGE AMOUNT OF EXPERIENCE IN OR DEALING WITH THAT TYPE WHAT HAVE TO DO WHEN THINGS START NOT GOING YOUR WAY BUT SHE IS STILL RIGHT HERE, TRENDING STILL SUB 30 WHICH IS VERY CLOSE TO THE LEADER.

>> THE TOP END OF THE COMTETION LOOKS TO BE BALANCED ON A KNIFE'S EDGE.

28.9 WOULD BE JUST IN FRONT OF THE BIG GROUP OF FIVE OR SIX RIDERS ALL BETWEEN 29.1 AND 29.6.

S. >> THAT LAST LINE CHANGE WAS SPOT ON.

IF THAT'S NOT AN EIGHT AND A HALF OR BETTER, THAT WAS SUPER BEAUTIFUL.

THE STRAIGHTNESS, THE LIFT.

IN THIS STRETCHY CIRCLE, YOU WANT HIM TO PUSH HIS NOSE LINE OUT A TAD MORE FOR A BETTER MARK.

THAT MOVEMENT IS SO DIFFICULT FOR THESE SOURCES OTHER THAN THAT BAUBLE IN THE HALT AND REIN BACK, I WON'T FINISH SAYING WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY BUT THIS TEST LOOKS PRETTY INCREDIBLE.

GOOD JOB.

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] THEY HAVE COMPLETED THEIR 5 STAR TEST HERE IN MARYLAND.

>> GOOD BOY, WILLIAM.

TAKE A BIG LONG LOOK AROUND THIS IS THE FIRST TROT EXTENSION AND AT THIS POINT HARBOUR PILOT WAS STREAKS IN FRONT OF WOODS BAUGHMAN'S POINT.

HE WAS DOWN 24, 25 PENALTIES.

THEY WERE VERY POSITIVE ABOUT WHAT THEY SAW EARLY ON IN THE TEST AND THEY STAYED POSITIVE BECAUSE I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE SUB 30 PENALTIES.

WE'LL STAND BY FOR HANNAH SUE'S SCORE WITH HARBOUR PILOT.

FRANKIE CAUGHT UP WITH OLIVER.

>> A GREAT RIDE FOR YOU AND THIS MAY NOT BE THE HORSE'S STRONGEST PHASE BUT YOU DID A STELLAR JOB IN THERE.

WHAT DID YOU THINK OF YOUR TEST?

>> A WORK IN PROGRESS BUT HE IS A VERY KIND, NICE, QUIET HORSE.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO TOO MUCH BEFORE YOU GO IN.

HE'S A PROFESSIONAL.

HE GOES IN AND HE JUST GOES THROUGH HIS JOB.

SO WE ARE WORKING ON HIM GETTING A BIT STRONGER AND FLASHER BUT I'M VERY HAPPY WITH HOW HE HAS TRIED.

>> WELL, YOU HAVE COME BACK HERE AGAIN FOR THE SECOND TIME.

WHY DID YOU MAKE THAT DECISION?

>> BECAUSE IT'S AMAZING.

YEAH, NO, WE CAME TO THE FIRST ONE THAT RAN LAST YEAR AND WE HAD A GREAT TIME.

AND WE BROUGHT AN OL' CAMPAIGN AND HE FINISHED SECOND WHICH MADE US VERY HAPPY BUT THE WHOLE ATMOSPHERE, I THINK, AMERICAN EVENTING IS GOING FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH.

OBVIOUSLY KENTUCKY IS A HAPPY HUNTING GROUND FOR ME.

AND WE ARE HOPING THAT BY SUPPORTING THIS, IT WILL STAY FOR A LONG, LONG TIME.

AND WE HOPE TO KEEP COMING BACK HERE BECAUSE THIS IS ONLY THE SECOND TIME BUT WE LOVE IT FROM START TO FINISH THERE.

THE ATMOSPHERE, THE WHOLE THING IS VERY GOOD.

>> LASTLY YOU MENTIONED IAN'S TRACK AND WHAT DO YOU THINK IT IS GOING TO TAKE TO GET IT DONE OUT THERE.

>> PROPER 5 STAR COURSE AS YOU WOULD EXPECT WITH IAN'S COURSES, BUT YOU KNOW, IAN IS A VERY SPECIAL MAN THAT DESIGNING THESE COURSES.

WE ARE SHORT OF IANS IN THE WORLD, THE ONLY TWO THAT ARE CAPE ABLE OF WHAT HE CAPABLE OF.

IT'S VERY FAIR.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, OLIVER, GOOD LUCK THIS WEEK.

>> GREAT TO HEAR FROM OLIVER AND GREAT TO HEAR SO MUCH POSITIVE COMMENTARY COMCAN TBOOG MARYLAND AFTER ENJOYING IT SO MUCH LAST YEAR AS WELL.

SO HE WOULD ONLY WAY HE COULD HAVE ENJOYED IT MORE IF IS HOOEY HAD RUN IT.

>> 29.7 IS THE SCORE.

I HAD A QUICK LOOK AT WILLIAM'S RECORD.

THIS IS HIS 23E689SDZ 5 STAR START IN HIS CAREER.

SO INTO 70s POSITION AND ON COURSE AT THE MOMENT IS JESSICA PHOENIX.

JESSICA AND WABBIT IN JESSICA WAS THE RIDER WITH PAVAROTTI WHO STOOD IN FRONT OF HARBOUR PILOT AT THE GRAWD LA HARRY PAN AM GAMES THEY WERE EXCITED TO BE HERE AND LOVELY PEOPLE.

IT WAS VERY GOOD TO HEAR WHAT OLLY SAID ABOUT THE MARYLAND 5 STAR.

IF YOU WERE HERE LAST YEAR YOU SAW THERE WAS THIS GESTATION OF WHAT WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN BUT IF YOU COME HERE NOW, IT IS JUST UNREAL THE AMOUNT OF IMPROVEMENT S IT'S IN A CLASS OF ITS OWN.

THEY STEPPED IT UP BEYOND WORD.

FROM THE CROSS-COUNTRY TRACK THE DECORATIONS OUT THERE TO EVERYTHING AROUND THE BARNS AND THE VENUE.

THEY HAVE PUT IN SUCH A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WORK, PROBABLY 60% MORE THAN THEY HAD LAST YEAR WHICH IS TREMENDOUS TO THE CREW THAT DID ALL THATY WAS HEARTENED TO HEAR YOU SAY THAT WHEN WE WERE CHATTING THE OTHER NIGHT.

VERY RARELY HAPPENS AT THE 5 STAR BECAUSE THEY'RE ATHLETE FOCUSED.

THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU GUYS BRING TO THE PARTY BUT IT CAN BE SO EASY FOR THE CORPORATE END OF THE EVENT TO SPEND THE MONEY THEY EARN OUT OF CORPORATE ON MORE CORPORATE AND THE ATHLETES GET THE BAD END OF THE STICK.

WE GET THAT IN SPORT, NOT SO MUCH IN EQUESTRIAN BECAUSE WE HAVE THIS WONDERFUL EQUINE ATHLETE THAT IS AT THE FOREFRONT OF OUR MIND BUT THAT THEY HAVE TAKEN THE INCREASED SPONSORING THAT THEY CAN GENERATED OFF THE PICTURES OF YEAR ONE AND GIFT IT BACK TO YOU GUYS AND HOW WE LOOK HALF OUR HORSES AND ATHLETES IS HEARTENING.

SWRES CA IS DOING A GREAT JOB KEEPING HIM GOING.

SHE HAS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF EXPERIENCE AND NODES WHAT TO DO WHEN OR DEALING WITH THIS.

SO YOU HOPE SHE JUST STAYS JUST UNDER THIS MARK AND DOESN'T GET OUT OF HAND.

SOMETIMES WHEN THESE HORSES ARE THIS TENSE, THE CANTER WORK CAN GET WORSE BUT SOMETIMES THEY SETTLE ONCE THEY CAPTOR SO LET'S HOPE FOR THAT.

>> WABBIT IS ONE OF THE TOP 10 IN THE CLASS IN TWUN 2021 BEFORE GOING TO THE 5 STAR.

AND SHE HAD THREE HORSES IN THAT CLASS.

AND RATINGS WERE TELLING US JESSE KASS THE THIRD OF FOUR RIDERS IN NORTH AMERICA TO HAVE MORE THAN 100 STARTS INTERNATIONALLY.

SOMETHING LIKE THAT UP WITH BUCK AND PHILLIP, OF COURSE.

IT'S IMPRESSIVE, HER CAREER.

THIS YEAR WOULD HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE FIRST TIMES SHE HAS NOT BEEN ON A CANADIAN TEAM.

DOING A GOOD JOB.

THIS HORSE ACTUALLY PUSHES A LITTLE BIT PAST HIS POWER A BIT.

YOU CAN SEE, YOU KNOW, HE IS NOT JUST WAITING FOR HER.

HE IS TIGHT BEHIND AND PUSHING PAST THAT BUT SHE IS DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB BY ALLOWING HIM TO GO WITHOUT TOO BIG OF A STEP SO SHE CAN STILL GET THE FLYING CHANGE.

SHE IS TRYING REALLY HARD TO RIDE FROM BACK TO FRONT BUT IT IS VERY DIFFICULT WHEN YOU ARE OR DEALING WITH A HORSE THAT IS JUST WANTING TO RUN SHAPING UP FOR THIS STRETCHY CIRCLE AND AGAIN, LOOK AT WHERE THE HORSE, HE WON'T REACH HIS OUT AND DOWN NOT EARLY ENOUGH FOR THE GOOD MARKS SHE GOT A STRIDE OR TWO BUT THEY WANT TO SEE THE WHOLE CIRCLE IN THE OUTLINE AND THAT'S NOT SOMETHING WABBIT IS IN SHAPE TO DO.

>> WHY CAN'T WE DO THAT STRETCHY CIRCLE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE TEST?

>> OR AFTER THE HALT ON YOUR WAY OUT.

>> THERE WAS A WALK IN THE TEST AND I ASKED THE DRESSAGE RIDERS, WE WOULD PREFER NOT TO BE IN THE TEST AT ALL.

BRINGING UP TO THE JUDGING BREAK IN THE 5 STAR.

WON'T CHALLENGE OUR TOP FIVE BUT HANNAH SUE CAME CLOSE TO DOING THAT A MOMENT AGO.

WE'VE SEEN HARRY MEADE AND SUPERSTITION GO TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SCORES.

BUT GOOD STORES FROM OLIVER TOWNEND.

RIGHT THERE IN THE MIX HANNAH SUE HOLLBERG AND ALEXANDRIA KNOWLES AT 28.6 FOR CURRENT SECOND PLACE.

>> VERY EXCITED-FOR-ALLY.

SHE IS ONE OF THE HARDEST WORKERS IN OUR SPORT AND IT'S EXCITERRING TO SEE THAT HARD WORK GET PAID OFF, OBVIOUSLY, IT'S STILL A VERY LONG WEEKEND.

BUT SHE HAS MORE CAPABILITY OF BEING ABLE TO END ON THAT SCORE AS ANYBODY ELSE JESSICA PHOENIX WOULD BE PRETTY HAPPY TO BE SUB 40 ON THIS HORSE TODAY.

CAN WE JUST RERIDE OUR TEST FROM YESTERDAY.

>> JESSICA WILL GET HER SCORE AND LOOK AT OUR BROWN ADVISORY RESULTS TO DATE.

WE'LL TAKE A SHORT BREAK BEFORE OUR FINAL 5 TO RIDE THEIR DRESSAGE HERE THIS AFTERNOON.

JESSICA'S SCORE IS 39.8 WITH 65.20.

JESSICA AND WABBIT WILL GO 19th OF OUR HORSE RIDER COMBINATIONS SO FAR IN MARYLAND.

SO NO CHANGE TO THE VERY TOP OF THE LEADERBOARD WITH WOODS BAUGHMAN OUR LEADER WITH C'EST LA VIE ON 27.2, ALEXANDRA KNOWLES PUTS HERSELF INTO SECOND PLACE.

ASTIER NICHOLAS IN THIRD.

TAMMY SMITH AND DANITO FIFTH.

ONE OF OUR BEST FROM THE SESSION, ALLIE KNOWLES ON MORSWOOD WITH 28.6.

MORE COMING UP AS THE DRESSAGE CONCLUDES FROM THE MARYLAND 5 STARS FAIR HILL PRESENTED BY BRAN ADVISORY.

WELCOME BACK, THE BEST OF THE DAY GOING INTO SECOND PLACE HAS BEEN BEST OF KENTUCKY ALEXANDRA KNOWLES AND MORSWOOD.

AND THIS HORSE AND RIDER COMBINATIONS TO RETURN HERE TO THE 5 STAR LEVEL AT MARYLAND THIS YEAR SCORES 28.6, IN EXCESS OF 70% GOOD MARKS TO TAKE SECOND PLACE AT THE MOMENT AND A LITTLE BIT EARLIER, AFTER HER TEST, WE HAD ALEXANDRA AND MORSWOOD CATCH UP ABOUT RIDING HERE AND WHAT A GREAT SCORE THEY HAD.

>> HE WAS AWESOME, SO FOCUSED.

HE TRIED HIS HEART OUT.

HE GETS NERVOUS IN THE RING AND IT HAS BEEN A PROCESS THIS FALL KIND OF LEADING UP TO THIS.

A FEW ADJUSTMENTS AND BIT CHANGES.

SORT OF PREPARATION WORK AND IT ALL CAME TOGETHER TODAY.

>> FOR YOU IT WAS THAT MUCH MORE SPECIAL.

THERE IS A LOT TO DO OUT THERE TOMORROW AND IAN'S TRACK, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?

>> A LOT TO DO.

IT IS GOING TO BE HARD BUT I'M GOING TO GIVE OUR BEST AND HOPE FOR THE BEST YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS ANY OF THE FIVE TESTS THAT WILL DECIDE THE DRESSAGE TEST WELCOME BACK TO THE MARYLAND 5 STARS FAIR HILL.

FIVE MORE TO GO.

WOODS BAUGHMAN AND C'EST LA VIE ARE OUR LEADERS WITH A PENALTY SCORE OF 27.2.

WE HAVE LAUREN NICHOLSON, LANDS MARK MONTE CARLO, ERIN KANARA CAMPGROUND, TIM PRICE COUP DE COEUR DUDEVIN AND ELIZABETH HALLIDAY-SHARP AND DENIRO Z JUST UP THE ROAD IN PENNSYLVANIA RECENTLY, EXCITING ONE TO FINISH US OFF.

LAUREN NICHOLSON WAS ON THE U.S.

TEAM THAT WON SILVER RECENTLY AT THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS.

SHE RIDES ANOTHER HORSE BY FORMULA ONE, THE 16-YEAR-OLD LANDMARK'S MONTE CARLO.

YOU MIGHT REMEMBER, PRETTY SURE IT WAS LANDMARK'S MONTE CARLO WHO DID A LITTLE DOSEY DOUGH, A LITTLE PASE DOBLE.

YOU CAN'T TRAIN THAT BUT HE DECIDED TO DO IT.

PETER GRAY WAS WITH IS WITH ME AND IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE JURY FOR THE 3 STAR DIVISION HERE.

BUT YOU ARE A HUGE FAN OF THE TRAINING OF THE HORSES SO I KNOW YOU HAVE BEEN GLUED TO EVERY MOMENT OF DRESSAGE IN THE 5 STAR WAS WELL.

>> YES, I HAVE ENJOYED WATCHING IT, JUST OUT OF INTEREST ON THE LEADERBOARD SOMETHING I TRY TO GET THE PEOPLE THAT I COACH TO REALIZE, YOU WANT A FAULT FREE TEST.

A CLEAN TEST AND I THINK OL.

THEY DID NOT LEAVE A MARK ON THE TABLE THEY DID NOT MAKE A SINGLE MISTAKE.

MONTE CARLO IS IN THAT CATEGORY.

THERE IS SUCH A GREAT PARTNERSHIP WITH LAUREN, THE OBEDIENCE AND HARMONY IS FANTASTIC AND IF SHE CAN PUT DOWN A TEST TECHNICALLY WITH THE LATERAL MOVEMENTS ARE CORRECT, PER PERHAPS SHE IS MITTSING A LITTLE BIT IN THE PIZAZZ BUT YOU CAN FIND YOURSELF IN THE TOP 10 IF YOU JUST HAVE A CORRECT HAPPY TEST.

>> A CLEAR RIDE.

>> THESE TESTS AND YOU ARE JUDGING A NEW 3 STAR TEST.

WE HAVE THE 5 STARS.

I ENJOY WATCHING THEM BECAUSE THEY SEEM SMOOTH AND REALLY ITERATIVE.

ONE THUNK SETS YOU UP FOR THE NEXT.

ARE THEY THAT ENJOYABLE TO JUDGE >> I AGREE WITH YOU.

THE AUTHORS OF THESE NEW TESTS HAVE DONE A WONDERFUL JOB.

THE MOVEMENTS FLOW INTO THE NEXT.

IT MAKES SENSE FOR WHAT THE HORSES ARE LEARNING AND THEIR PATHWAY OF TRAINING.

I THINK THE TESTS REFLECT WHAT THE HOME WORK SHOULD BE AND WHAT THEY'RE SKILL SET SHOULD BE WHEN YOU ARE TRAINING AT HOME.

THEY'RE ENJOYABLE TO JUDGE.

INTERESTING QUESTION.

HERE WE HAVE THE TRANSITION WALK TO MEDIUM.

IF YOU DON'T KEEP THAT IDEA OF THE MARCH OF THE EXTENDED WALK THEY'LL DING YOU FOR ACTIVITY.

I LIKE TO SEE A HORSE THAT KEEPS THE EXTENDED WALK MARCH BUT RAISES THE POLE.

>> IF YOU HAVE TO RIDE THE HORSE TO THE SHOPS, YOU WANT TO GET THERE BEFORE LUNCH.

>> EXACTLY AND THE SAME THING AS YOU GO FROM EXTENDED TO MEDIUM AND GO IT TO THE SHOP ON TIME.

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS HORSE IS THE OUTLINE THE F.E.I.

GUIDELINES SAYS THE HORSE IS CONSIDERED ON THE BIT WHEN THE HEAD IS SLIGHTLY AHEAD.

WE SAW IS THAT WITH WOODS BAUGHMAN AND OLLY WITH THIS HORSE.

IT'S A REAL PLEASURE TO WATCH HORSES THAT HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE CORRECT FRAME.

BUT THE DIFFICULTY IS WITHIN THAT SLIGHTLY MORE OPEN FRAME, TO GET THE ENGAGE MANY AND THE SUSPENSION IN THE MOVEMENTS BUT MARS IS DOING A GREAT JOB HAVING A NICE TEST.

I THINK AGAIN THIS OUTLINE IS BEAUTIFUL MY FAVORITE COMMENT TO RIGHT AT THE END OF THE TEST IS HAPPY HORSE EQUALS HAPPY JUDGE.

THAT MEANS A LOT TO ME WHEN I'M JUDGING A HORSE.

I DON'T WANT TO SEE RESTRICTION OF THE GATES AND TOO MUCH RESFRIX FROM THE RIDERS.

SHE WILL LOSE .5 FROM THE JUDGE FOR NOT BEING TRAIT ON THAT CORNER LINE.

AND ONCE YOU GET A CORRECT CHANGE WHICH IS A CLEAN CHANGE, ANYTHING ABOVE A 7 IS A REFLECTION OF THE CANTER, THE JUMP, THE EXPRESSION, WHICH IS WHERE THIS HORSE MISSES A LITTLE BUT IF YOU CAN GET SOLID 7S YOU ARE UP IN THE LEADERBOARD.

FORWARD AND THE BACK.

I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE SEEN THE FRAME LENGTHEN WHICH LENDSENS AS THE STRIDE LENGTHENS.

THE STRETCH I'M MORE PICKY ABOUT THE STRETCH THAN MOST IMPORTANCES YES, YOU DO NEED TO SEE SELF CARRIAGE.

A QUALITY RHYTHM BUT TO ME THE ESSENCE IS THE STRETCH AND MINIMAL DOWNWARD STRETCH THAT WAS A FLANK CHANGE THAT TURNED INTO A SIMPLE CHANGE.

THAT WILL BE A 4 OR 3 YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR JUDGING THE SIMPLE CHANGES.

WE HAVE BEEN HARPING ON OVER THE TWO DAYS THE WORST POSSIBLE NAME FOR SOMETHING.

THE SIMPLE CHANGE THAT HAS FOUR TRANSITIONS IN IT.

AT THE LEVEL OF THE 3 STARS, SAW THE TRANSITIONS, WHICH IN THEMSELVES ARE DIFFICULT ENOUGH TO KEEP THE HORSE SOFT AND RESPONSIVE BUT THERE WAS JUST A LITTLE MISCOMMUNICATION, SUCH AN UNFORTUNATE WAY TO GET A LOW SCORE AT THE END SUPER PERFORMANCE, A HAPPY LOVELY HORSE.

>> LAUREN NICK OLSON AND LANDMARK'S MONTE CARLO WAITING FOR THE SCORE.

>> I'M JOINED BY THE SECRETARY OF NATURAL RESOURCES, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR JOINING ME AND THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO THIS AREA TO HAVE THIS WONDERFUL EVENT HERE.

>> WE ARE SO EXCITED TO HOST THE EVENT THIS YEAR AGAIN.

WE HAVE A LOT OF RICH EQUESTRIAN HISTORY IN MARYLAND BUT SPECIFICALLY ON THIS PROPERTY.

SO WE ARE REALLY PROUD TO HAVE THEY THIS EVENT FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW.

>> GREAT TO HAVE YOU HERE AND WE HAVE A LOT OF EXCITEMENT TO COME, A LOT TOMORROW, A LOT OF ACTION.

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS FOR YOU?

>> I THINK ONE OF THE UNIQUE THINGS HERE IS THAT HOW CLOSE YOU CAN GET DURING THE COMPETITION, HAVING THE FAN EXPERIENCE IS A REALLY IMPORTANT COMPONENT TO ADDING THE EXCITEMENT TO THE COMPETITION AND THE FACT THAT WE HAVE SOME OF THE TOP COMPETITORS IN THE WORLD MAKES IT EVEN MORE EXCITING.

>> WE ARE EXCITED TO BE HERE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR HAVING US.

>> THANK YOU.

>> SO LAUREN NICHOLSON AND LANDMARK'S MONT CAR OWE, 35.9 HOLDS FOR PHILLIP DUTTON AND Z AND 27.2 FOR WOODS BAUGHMAN.

OUR TOP 10 COVERED BY SOME 4.5 PENALTIES.

12 SECONDS OVER THE TIME TOMORROW WOULD BE 4.8 PENALTIES.

VERY, VERY CLOSE.

>> I WONDER HOW THAT 4 AT THE END OF THE TEST REALLY AFFECTED HER SCORE.

I'VE ENJOYED SO MANY COMMENTARY, I THINK COULD YOU STEP IN AND JUDGE IF SOMEONE DIDN'T SHOW UP.

YOU ARE VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE.

ONE THING I HAVE NOTICED WHEN YOU SEE THE LIVE SCORES FOR EVERY MOMENT, YOU ARE TRENDING ON A 71%, YOU GET A 4 ACROSS THE BOARD AND YOU ARE DOWN TO 65 AND IT TAKES IT SEEMINGLY FOREVER TO CLIMB BACK UP TO THE 70.

>> ONE OF THINGS THAT OUR RIDERS HERE HAVE DONE AND I KNOW ONE OF OUR TOP JUDGES HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN THE CONVERSATION AROUND IT, THEY HAVE TAKEN AWAY THE COEFFICIENT.

IN PARTICULAR IN GRAND PRIX WHAT YOU ARE DESCRIBING, THE 1S AND 2s ARE DOUBLE.

WHEN YOU MISS ONE OF 15, YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU COULD GIVE EACH OF THOSE 15 CHANGES AND SO COULD THOSE JUDGES A MARK OUT OF 10 BUT IT'S UNFORTUNATELY THE ENTIRE LINE, ALL 15.

IF YOU FLUFF ONE OF THEM, A DOUBLE PUMP BEHIND, THEY HAVE TO GIVE YOU A FOUR AND IT'S DOUBLED.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

GOING BACK TO MONTE CARLO WHO WAS TRENDING ON A 7 EVERY MOVEMENT, EXTENDED CANTER WOULD HAVE BEEN A 7.5 AND SHE GOT A 8.

BUT THAT 4.

I THINK SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN TRENDING ABOUT 70%.

SHE ENDED UP WITH 67, 68 BUT VERY GOOD PERFORMANCE.

>> SO 31.7, IF SHE HAD BEEN SUB 30 IT WOULD HAVE BEEN, NOT MAKING A HUGE DIFFERENCE AT THE MOMENT BUT LAST YEAR THIS COMPETITION WAS WON AND LOST BY .1 OF A PENALTY.

>> INCREDIBLE HOW CLOSE THESE HIGH LEVEL COMPETITIONS ARE NOWADAYS.

>> SO ERIN KANARA WITH CAMPGROUND, COMING TO HIS FIRST 5 STAR.

WE KNOW ERIN, NO BOUNDARIES, WE HAVE SEEN HER AT KENTUCKY AT POE AND BURLEY AT THE 5 STAR LEVEL WITH THOSE SORTS OF SOURCES.

THIS CAMPGROUND IS A THOROUGHBRED.

THEY WON THE FOUR LONG, THE LEVEL BELOW THIS AT JOCKEY CLUB AND TOP 10 AT THE KENTUCKY HORSE PARK THIS SPRING ALONGSIDE THE KENTUCKY THREE-DAY.

AGAIN.

>> AGAIN, I DO A LOT OF TRAINING OF HIGH PERFORMANCE RIDERS AND LOW LEVEL AMATEURS BUT WITH THIS TYPE OF THOROUGHBRED HORSE WHICH MAYBE DOESN'T HAVE EIGHT SCORES IN ITS MOVEMENT POTENTIAL, I'M ALWAYS STRESSING WHAT I SAID BEFORE, THE CLEAN TEST THAT YOU DON'T MAKE ANY MISTAKES PERHAPS YOU ARE LOSING OUT ON THE, BUT IF ERIN CAN KEEP HIS ATTENTION, WHICH IS DIFFICULT IN THIS ARENA.

IT HAS A LOT OF ATMOSPHERE.

A TEST WITHOUT ANY MISTAKES, I THINK THAT'S THE GOAL GOING INTO CROSS-COUNTRY DAY ONE OF THOSE THINGS IS HAVING THE MENTAL CLARITY TO RIDE IN A CIRCLE THAT IS EIGHT METERS AROUND AND THAT IS ROUND BUT YOUR HALTS ARE OWE RIGHT MARKER MOVEMENTS ARE RIDDEN MARKER TO MARKER.

THAT'S 60% STRAIGHT AWAY.

>> LIKE PUTTING THE PIECES OF THE JIGSAW PUZZLE TOGETHER.

GEOMETRY, REGULARITY, CORRECT SIZE, ALL THOSE THINGS ARE BASIC AND FUNDAMENTAL AND IF YOU CAN ADD WHAT WE SAW FROM WOOD BAUGHMAN YESTERDAY, GET SOME IMPULSION.

BUT ABSOLUTELY WE HAVE BUILDING BLOCKS IN HOW WE RIDE THE TEST AND RIDERS NEED TO HAVE A PLAN.

I THINK SOMETIMES THE RINGMANSHIP COULD BE BETTER.

I OFTEN SAY IT'S ALMOST LIKE A DIFFERENT SPORT COMING FROM THE WARM WHY UP TO THE RING.

WHEN YOU GET HERE, YOU SHOW THE JUDGES WHAT YOU CAN DO, NOT WHAT YOU CAN'T DO.

AND SHOW THE HORSE OFF TO HIS VERY BEST POTENTIAL F. THAT MEANS ROUNDING OFF THE CORNERS AND NOT GOING DEEP IF THE HORSE DOESN'T HAVE COLLECTION AND POWER.

ROUND OFF THE CORNER, SHOW THE FREEDOM OF THE GAIT AND THE QUALITY AND YOU WILL BE BETTER OFF WHEN IT COMES TO THE SCORES.

VALERIE WAS ALLUDING TO WHAT I KNOW THE CON70 OF THE GRAY HORSE.

WHEN YOU DO A LOT OF JUDGING, YOU BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE HORSES BUT YOU ARE NOT LOOKING AT CAMPGROUND AT THE MOMENT AND KNOWING CAMPGROUND.

YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE HORSE ERIN IS RIDING AT THIS MOMENT.

HAVING THEM DO A WALK FOR A 10, THAT WAS THEN IT'S THE WALK TODAY THAT YOU WILL MARK.

>> EXACTLY -6789D I THINK SOME PEOPLE LOOK AT ME AFTER I CHAT WITH THEM AFTER THE TEST AND THINK I'M UNOBSERVANT BECAUSE I CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER JUDGING THEM BUT LIKE I SAY, I'M LOOKING AT THE PICTURE, THE HORSE, THE TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF THE MOVEMENT AND THE QUALITY OF THE GATES FLAT LIKE A TABLE AND WHEN THE CONNECTION IS CORRECT, THEN WE ARE LOOKING AT THE OVER TRACK.

THEY NEED TO HAVE AT LEAST TWO HOOF PRINTS EVERY STEP TO GET THE EIGHT RANGE THEN WE'VE GONE TO THE MEDIUM.

SHE IS DOING QUITE A NICE JOB KEEPING THE RELAXATION.

SHE SHOULD JUST KEEP THAT MARCH OF THE EXTENDED AND JUST RAISE THE POLE QUIETLY.

VERY WELL RIDDEN ON THIS HORSE.

IT CAN GET QUITE TIGHT IN THE WALK STEPS.

MOBILITY IS VERY IMPORTANT HERE.

IF YOU ARE AN ANXIOUS RIDER, YOU THINK YOU HAVE WAITED THREE SECONDS BUT IT'S NOT ENOUGH.

VERY NICE SQUARE HALT.

NICE IF YOU CAN ONLY SEE TWO LEGS STEPS, NEEDED TO BE MORE DIAGONAL TO GET MORE THAN A 7 BUT I THINK IT WAS VERY RESPONSIVE AND OBEDIENT GOING FORWARD INTO A NICE SOFT CANTER TRANSITION.

>> I WAS ASKING VALERIE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT LOOKING AT THE WHOLE PICTURE.

DO YOU HAVE A SCANNING PROFILE LIKE WHEN YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE A MANEUVER LEFT IN THE CAR, IT'S SO IS IT HEAD, NECK, HOOVES AND HANDS?

>> I THINK IT COMES BACK TO THE TRAINING AT HOME HALF CIRCLE LEFT AND RIGHT TO EXAGGERATE THE BEND AN AND ALMOST LIKE HORSE YOGA AND PHYSIO THERAPY, THOSE ARE THE WORDS I USE TO TRY TO MAKE THE RIDER UNDER WHAT WE ARE DOING TO THE HORSE'S BODY.

>> HOW DO YOU KEEP CONSCIOUS OF THE WHOLE PICTURE BECAUSE IT'S EASY FOR THE FLYING CHANGE TO BE FOCUSED ON THE HORSE'S HOOVES AND COMPLETELY MISS A BREAK AT THE HEAD AND NECK.

IT IS FOR ME.

NOT FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE TRAINED.

>> THIS SWING OR LOOSENESS, THE WHOLE BODY NEEDS A LOOSENESS AND I MIGHT ADD WHEN THE RIDERS ARE NOT REALLY WITH THE MOTION OF THE HORSE, IT CAN HAVE A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON THAT SOFTNESS THROUGH THE BACK.

SO I THINK A SOFT RIDER WITH THE MOTION OF THE HORSE, BUY GROW MECHANICS AND WALK IS VERY IMPORTANT TO LEARN THOSE THINGS IN THE TRAINING HERE WE HAVE THE STRETCH CIRCLE AND AGAIN I LIKE A LITTLE MORE STRETCH THAN MOST JUDGES AND FOR ME THE NOSE HAS TO GO AT LEAST TO WHERE THE FOREARM MEETS THE CHEST.

OF COURSE WE WANT TO SEE THE SELF CARRIAGE AND HIGH QUALITY 3D JUMP.

VERY NICE RELAXED CANTER AS SHE LOOSENED THE REIN CONTACT.

THE HORSE DIDN'T INCREASE THE TEMPO.

OBEDIENT, A LITTLE TIGHT BEHIND, NOT THROUGH BEHIND SO WE ARE NOT LOOKING AT HIGH SCORES BUT CERTAINLY IT WAS CORRECT SO SHE IS GOING TO BE IN THE FRAME.

FOR NOT A BAD SCORE.

VERY GOOD FINISH FOR THE TEST.

STRAIGHT, SQUARE, OBEDIENT.

>> ERIN KANARA AND CAMPGROUND COMPLETINGLY TEST WITH US.

LOOKING AT ABOUT A 35, 65% GOOD MARK SCORE FOR ERIN AND CAMPGROUND IN THEIR FIRST 5 STAR TOGETHER.

I WILL SAY, JOHN, IT'S WONDERFUL TO SEE SUCH GREAT RIDING BUT THE HIGH CALIBER OF JUDGING IN THIS 5 STAR IS A PLEASURE AND EDUCATION FOR EVERYONE TO WATCH, WHETHER YOU ARE A TRAINER, RIDER COMPETITOR.

TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE SCORES COMING UP FOR EVERY MOCH IS SUCH A GREAT LEARNING TOOL.

BUT TO SEE NOT ONLY THE SCORES BUT THE RIGHT SCORES THIS TEAM ARE DOING A FABULOUS JOB.

>> WE ARE VERY LUCKY TO HAVE, FOR INSTANCE, PEOPLE LIKE CHRISTIAN IN THE SPORT.

CHRISTIAN WAS GOING TO BE I THINK JUDGING AT BADMINTON THIS SPRING AND BECAUSE OF COVID, HE HADN'T DONE VERY MUCH JUDGING SO LUCKILY FOR HIM AND FOR OUR SPORT, HE WAS ABLE TO TAKE HIMSELF HERE HERE TO MARYLAND LAST YEAR AND SIMPLY TO WATCH THE COMPETITION.

AND GET HIS HEAD BACK INTO THE UPPER LEVEL OF THE SPORT OF WATCHING 5 STAR HORSES BEING JUDGED, WATCH THE CANTER OF 5 STAR HORSES WE HAD LAST YEAR.

IT'S IMPRESSIVE.

WE ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY DO THAT AND WITH THE INTEREST AND COMMITMENT TO THE SPORT TO DO THAT.

AND I THINK MY MOM IS AN FEI OFFICIAL SO I KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS GO THROUGH AS WELL.

THERE IS REALLY, HAVE YOU TO MAINTAIN PRETTY MUCH EVERY TWO YEARS, YOU HAVE TO BE AT A COURSE TO KEEP YOUR LICENSE AND YOUR NATIONAL LICENSES SO WHAT YOU GUYS DO FOR THE SPORT, IS BEYOND VOLUNTEER HISM AND TO PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE, AT MAJOR CHAPS, YOU HAVE SEEN YOURSELF IN THE FIRING LINE FOR PEOPLE TO SAY THEY GOT IT WRONG.

AND IT DOES HAPPEN, BUT THE COMMENTATORS SAY IT.

I DON'T THINK THE JUDGES GET IT WRONG.

BUT, YOU KNOW, I TAKE MY HAT OUT TO THE STEWARDS, TECHNICAL DELEGATES, THE VETERINARIANS AND JUDGES TO PUT THEMSELVES OUT THERE AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE TO GET QUALIFIED TO DELIVER OUR SPORT.

>> CHRISTIAN IS A GREAT EDUCATOR.

HE DOES A LOT WITH THE F.E.I.

IN EDUCATING OFFICIALS AN UPAND COMING OFFICIALS.

IT'S A PRIVILEGE TO GET JUDGED BY HIM BECAUSE WHEN YOU READ THE COMMENTS, IT'S VERY EDUCATIONAL AND HELPFUL.

>> COUP DE COEUR DUDEVIN, TIM PRICE FROM NEW ZEALAND.

TWICE TOP 10 AT THE CHAMPIONSHIPS IS 10 YEARS OLD.

THIS WAS TIM'S BACKUP HORSE FOR THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS, THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS WERE AFTER BURLEY.

TIM IS BASED IN THE U.K. ORDINARILY HE WOULD HAVE TAKEN IT TO BURLY BUT NEEDED THE HORSE READY TO GO.

SO THUS WE GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THIS HORSE HERE IN MARYLAND.

>> SO THAT FIRST MEDIUM TROT WAS TICKED ALL THE BOXES OF THINGS I WOULD WANT TO SEE, UPHILL BALANCE, NOT RESTRICTED WITH THE REIN CONTACT, THE HIND CAUSER WERE ENGAGEMENT.

THE TEMPO DIDN'T CHANGE WE ALSO CALL THAT REGULARITY BUT HE HAD GROUND COVER AND POWER AND SO TOP MARKS FOR THAT.

THIS IS THE EXTENDED WHERE WE LIKE TO SEE A LITTLE LENDSENING OF THE FRAME AND MORE GROUND COVER.

PERHAPS HOLLOW AT THE END.

ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO SEE ABOUT TIM'S RIDING.

WE HAVE A HARMONY MARK AT THE END OF THE TEST.

AND FOR ME, WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A POETIC LICENSE TO USE OUR OWN IDEAS HOW WE LIKE TO GIVE THE HARMONY MARK.

IT HAS TO BE SHOWING THE CORRECT PATHWAY OF TRAINING BUT I START THINK BYING WOULD I LIKE THIS RIDE, TIM IS SOFT, COMPASSIONATE , WITHY MOTION.

IT'S JUST A VERY NICE PICTURE AGAIN.

HAPPY HORSE EQUALS HAPPY JUDGE AND HAPPY JUDGE IS MORE LIKELY TO GIVE 9S AND 10s.

HE HAS WON BURLEY AS WELL.

VERY EXPERIENCED AT THE 5 STAR.

>> IT IS TIM IN THAT HEAD SHOT ON THE EXTENDED WALK.

HE USES ALTERNATE LEG GAITS IN THE EXTENDED WALK SO WHEN THE LEFT HIND IS LEAVING THE GROUND, YOU APPLY YOUR LEFT SPUR AND AS THE RIGHT IS LEAVING, YOUR RIGHT SPUR SO YOU GET THE HIND LEGS TO MOVE BIGGER THAN THEY WOULD NORMALLY.

SO INTERESTING TECHNIQUE.

HE KEPT THE MARK TO RAISE THE POLE AND SEE THE POLE NICE AND HIGH COMPARED TO THE EXTENDED ONE.

WE HAVE THAT OPEN ANKLE IN THE THROATED LATCH AREA.

LOVELY BALANCE.

DIAGONAL PACER.

IF THEY WANT TO BE PICKING, COULD HAVE STAYED A LITTLE MORE UPHILL.

BUT FLUID WITHOUT ANY SIGHT OF RESISTANCE.

THE STRAIGHTNESS IS LOVELY TO SEE.

IF YOU CAN BALANCE A HORSE FOR ALL THESE COLLECTED MOVEMENTS WITHOUT CHANGING THE NECK, THAT'S THE GOAL FOR EVERY RIDER.

ME HAS ACTIVITY BEHIND AND ALTHOUGH THE CHANGE WAS CORRECT, WE HAD A LITTLE REACTION TO THE SPUR, I TAIL SUBMISSION, SO THAT WILL BE A SLIGHT DEMERIT.

IT'S NOT SO EASY TO KNOW HOW MUCH LEG TO USE AND NOT TO USE.

YOU HAVE TO GAUGE THEIR EMOTIONS WHEN THEY'RE IN THE RING, ARE THEY REACTING TO THE ATMOSPHERE.

WHILE IT LOOKS LIKE A VERY RELAXED HORSE, CLEARLY HE WAS MORE RESPONSIVE TO THE LEG THAN TIM MAYBE THOT.

THE REASON WE LOOK AT THE QUALITY OF THE CANTER WHEN WE GO ABOVE SCORES OF 7, THE HIGHER THE JUMP IN THE CANTER, THE MORE THE MOMENT OF SUSPENSION IN THE CANTER, THE EASIER IT IS FOR THE HOUSE TO COORDINATE THE CHANGE OF LEG FROM ONE TO THE OTHER.

: SO A THOROUGHBRED THAT IS FLAT IS MORE LIKELY TO BE PERHAPS LATE BEHIND BECAUSE ITS A QUICK FLAT STRIDE.

THE SLOWER MORE SUSPENSION YOU CAN SHOW, THE BETTER CHANCE WE HAVE OF GETTING THAT CLEAR.

UNFORTUNATELY WE HAD ANOTHER LATE CHANGE WHICH COULD BE VERY COSTLY.

THE BALANCE OF THIS CIRCLE IS BEAUTIFUL.

NOT INCREASING THE TEMPO.

HE IS SHOWING A GOOD ENOUGH STRETCH AND RETAKING THE CONTACT WITHOUT ANY KIND OF HESITATION OR RESISTANCE IS WHAT THE JUDGE WANTS TO SEE.

BEAUTIFUL OUT LINE.

CORRECT WITH THE CHANGE ALTHOUGH HE WAS A LITTLE CROOKED OVER THE CENTER LINE BUT THAT WOULD JUST BE ABOUT A .5 DEMERIT.

LOVELY PICTURE.

>> I THINK OUR SCORING CHIP IN THE CORNER HAS BEEN STUCK BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN AT 24.7 FOR A LONG TIME AND WE ARE ACTUALLY MAYBE A SHADE BEHIND WOODS BAUGHMAN ABOUT 27.

ON THE BOARD FOR TIM PRICE.

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT IS INFORMATION COMING THROUGH IS THAT AT THIS LEVEL OF THE SPORT, IF THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE JUDGES END SCORE FOR THE FLYING CHANGES ONLY, THERE IS A REVIEW AND WE ALREADY KNEW I THINK IT WAS AFTER THE THIRD CHANGE THAT ONE OF THE CHANGES WAS UP FOR REVIEW FOR TIM AND COUP DE COEUR DUDEVIN BIGGEST CHANGE WAS WITH DANITO WHEN THEY CAME TO REVIEW IT.

BE PREPARED FOR WHATEVER SCORE WE GET FOR TIM TO CHANGE EVER SO SLIGHTLY.

IT WAS INTERESTING TO HEAR PIECES SAY ON THAT ONE COMING TOWARDS US, YOU KNOW, THE JUDGE AT AGE MIGHT STRUGGLE TO SCORE THAT MOVEMENT IT IS THAT PARTICULAR CHANGE THAT IS DIFFICULT FOR THE JUDGE IT IS CAN I TO SEE WHEN THEY HAPPEN QUICKLY, IT IS VERY EASY TO MISS AND I THINK RIDERS NEED TO BE OPEN MINDED WHEN IT COMES TO THAT AND NOT POINT FINGERS TOO QUICKLY BECAUSE IT'S QUITE DIFFICULT TO SEE, ESPECIALLY FROM THAT H. POSITION.

COUP DE COEUR DUDEVIN, DUND VIN AND TIM PRICE, CURRENT NUMBER ONE RIDING THE HORSE WILL BE THERE OR THEREABOUTS.

I DON'T THINK HE IS GOING TO OVERTAKE WOODS BAUGHMAN ON THE CURRENT SCORE.

REMINDER OF THE SCORE UPUPDATE YOU ON THE SCORE.

35.9.

WE HAVE TWO MORE TO SEE SECOND RIDES FOR JENNY BAN BEGAN AND BUCK DAVIDSON.

1 TIM IS FLYING SOLO.

HE WAS ACCOMPANIED HEAR LAST YEAR BY HIS WIFE AND IT'S JANELL'S BIRTHDAY TODAY.

VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANUARYEL.

-- JANELL.

FANTASTIC HORSEMAN TIM PRICE.

WELL DESERVED TO BE NUMBER ONE IN THE WORLD.

GREAT RESULTS AND FANTASTIC TRAINER AND FANTASTIC HUMAN BEING.

>> SO 27.6 IS THE PROVISIONAL SCORE AT THAT TIME WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN FOR DOOP COUP DE COEUR DUDEVIN.

AND IT IS SORT OF IT ALL COMES DOWN TO IF ONE JUDGE IS LOWER, WE HAVE IT 237.6-- 27.6 IS THE PUBLISHED SCORE SUBJECT TO REVIEW.

ALL OF THE JUDGES MARK HAVE COME IN THROUGH THE COMPUTER BUT THEY WILL BE LOOKING AT ONE OR TWO OF THE FLYING CHANGE MARKS.

>> JENNY BRANNIGAN, F.E.

LIFE LIFESTYLE.

YOU MUST NOT HAVE TROT STEPS.

IT HAS TO BE SMOOTH AND DIRECTLY TO HALT SO NOT SUCH AN EASY MOVEMENT TO START THE TEST.

THIS IS A GREAT SERIES OF MOVEMENTS WE CAN TALK ABOUT.

HERE WE HAVE LEFT BEND AND TWO THIRD OF THE DIRECTIVES IN THE DRESSAGE THAT THE JUDGE IS LOOKING FOR, YOU SEE THE WORD BEND WE CHANGE FROM THE LEFT TO THE RIGHT, THE HORSE'S NOSE DIDN'T COME CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE RIGHT.

AND THEN WE DO SHOULDER IN RIGHT AND CHANGE TO THE BEND.

A CONSTANT CHANGING OF BEND TO THE LEFT AND TO THE RIGHT AND WE SEE THIS AT ALL LEVELS OF DRESSAGE BUILT BUT AT THIS LEVEL, WE SEE THE TECHNICAL DIFFICULTY AT THE HIGHEST POINT.

I LIKE THAT TRANSITION FROM EXTENDED TO COLLECTED.

IT WAS SEAMLESS.

SHE KEPT THE TEMPO, SHE KEPT THE SWING AND THE REGULARITY OF THE TROT I THOUGHT IT WAS A HIGHLIGHT.

>> OF COURSE WE WERE DISCUSSING OLYMPIC LEVEL AND GRAND PRIX LEVEL DRESSAGE EARLIER ON.

THERE ARE OF COURSE LEVELS ABOVE THIS BUT THE EVENTING COMMITTEE OR TECHNICAL GUIDES FOR THE SPORT, THE WRITERS OF THE DEFENDANT, THEY FOUND A LEVEL WITHIN THE SPORT OF DRESSAGE WHICH IS RO APPROPRIATELY HIGH ENOUGH TO TEST THE ATHLETES.

YOU ARE NOT EXPECTING ONE OF THE BLOWNLEY BROTHERS TO SWIM AGAINST MICHAEL FEPS BUT HE CAN SWIM AND LEIGH-- AND HE CAN SWIM VERY WELL.

THAT'S WHERE WE ARE WITH OUR SHOW JUMPING AND DRESSAGE.

BOTH ARE CONSIDERABLY MORE ADVANCED AND MORE INTENSE THAN THEY WERE 10, 15 YEARS AGO.

>> THAT LAST MOVEMENT ON THE CENTER LINE, THE SHOULDER LEFT AND THEN YOU WALK AND TRACK RIGHT BUT THERE IS A MARK JUST FOR THAT WALK IN THAT COORNER.

-- FROM THAT CORNER.

IT'S A MEDIUM WALK.

IT HAS TO BE UPHILL AND WE SEE A LOT OF RIDERS FROM GERMAN COUNTRIES HAVING THE POLE IN THE LOW FRAME AND THEIR IDEA IS THEY WILL HAVE A BETTER RHYTHM IN THE LOW FRIM.

AS A JUDGE, I CAN'T GIVE MORE THAN A SIX.

THIS IS WHERE THE POLE IS FAIRLY HIGH AND SHE DID A BEAUTIFUL JOB WE WOULD LIKE THE REIN BACK TO BE A LITTLE MORE WILLING.

IT WAS SLIGHTLY STICKY, A LITTLE MORE UPHILL.

STILL A FAIRLY GOOD MARK.

>> JENNY WAS TOP 10 LAST YEAR.

SHE RIDES THIS ONE FOR TIM AND NINA GARDENER.

I'LL GET THE IT THE RIGHT WAY AROUND.

I HAVE LIKED THIS HORSE EVER SINCE AND JENNY HAS DONE A FANTASTIC JOB BRINGING IT ATHANKING LO.

HERE THIS IS LOVELY FRAME WHERE THE THROAT LATCH IS A LITTLE BIT OPEN.

THE HORSE IS BALANCED AND ENGAGED WITHOUT WITHOUT RESTRICTION FROM THE RIDERS CONTACT SHE GAVE UP A LITTLE OF THE POSITION.

I THINK SHE WAS THINKING OF THE CHANGE COMING UP I'M HAPPY SHE FINISHED THE HALF PASS BECAUSE THE STRAIGHTNESS IS PART OF THE SCORE VERY NICE FLUID FLYING CHANGE.

EXTENDED CANTER, WE LIKE TO SEE A LITTLE MORE LENGTHENING OF THE FRAME BUT YOU DON'T ALWAYS KNOW AS A RIDER WHAT YOU ARE DEALING WITH.

THIS HORSE MAY BE STARTING TO GET BOTTLED UP WITH THE ENERGY AND SHE NEATS NEEDS TO KEEP A LITTLE MORE OF A FEEL.

WE DON'T KNOW BUT IT HAD NICE GROUND COVER TO SO THE FRAME LENGTH AND THE ICING ON THE CAKE.

BUT STILL A GOOD SCORE.

>> WE'VE SEEN THEM TWICE AT KENTUCKY.

THEY HAVE GONE VERY WELL AT THE NATION'S CAWP FINALS.

>> CORRECT CHANGE TO FINISH THE TEST OVERSHOT THE CENTER LINE A LITTLE BIT.

HARRY MEADE HAD A LITTLE DIFFICULTY WITH TENSION TODAY BUT HIS REIN BACK A LITTLE BIT DRAGGED ITS TOES.

ALL THE DETAILS.

NOT SO EASY.

THE ADVANCE LEVEL BY DOUBLE WITH JULIA FOR GERMANY.

AT LEAST ONE METER SHOW JUMPER.

WRITTEN BY CHRISTIAN AND ERIN DAVIS.

31.5.

IS THE SCORE, 11TH POSITION FOR JENNY GLOWING TO THE LEADERBOARD BEHIND PHILLIP DID ITTON AND Z.

AND JUST ONE MORE SCORE TO POST HERE.

AND THEN WE WILL KNOW THE SHAPE OF OUR 5 STAR GOING INTO CROSS-COUNTRY TOMORROW AFTERNOON.

LOOK AT THAT REACTION.

JENNY HAS HAD SOME HIGHS AND LOWS IN HER CAREER.

NATIONAL 4 STAR CHAMPION HERE AND HAS MISSED THE GUTS OF SEVERAL SEASONS WITH BIG INJURIES, SO TO COME AND TO NAIL IT DOWN TO GET A REALLY GOOD SCORE THAT MAKES HER COMPETITIVE AND TO HAVE TWO HORSES AT 5 STAR LEVEL, I MEAN I REMEMBER HER NATIONAL 4 STAR CHAMPION, HOW OFTEN SHE TRIED THE 5 STAR LEVEL AND WOULDN'T COME TOGETHER.

CRUISING ONE YEAR AT KENTUCKY.

JUMPED THE BIG SIDE OF AN EMPTY CORNER, NO LONGER ON PINK AND IT FELT LIKE AGES BEFORE SHE COULD FINALLY GET THAT 5 STAR COMPLETION UNDER HER BELT AND THEN NEVER LOOKED BACK.

>> A TOUGH SPORT.

>> THAT ENTRANCE AND COLLECTED CANTER IS THE ONE WE LOVE TO SEE.

IT HAD PRESENCE, IT HAD ENERGY.

IT HAD COLLECTION.

BUT MILTEDDED INTO THE HALT LIKE I WAS TALKING ABOUT EARLIER.

THE HALT WAS SQUARE, TRANSITION BACK TO COLLECTED WAS PROMPT.

NICE SUPPLENESS AS HE TURNED TO THE RIGHT.

THIS IS BUCK DAVIDSON BACK FOR A SECOND RIDE WITH CARL CARLEVO.

THEY HAVE BEEN TOP 20 THERE SEVERAL TIMES.

FIFTH IN 2022.

WINNER OF THE 4 STAR SHORT JUST RECENTLY AT PLANTATION IN PENNSYLVANIA.

SO THESE EIGHT METER CIRCLES, HE JUST DID AN EIGHT METER CIRCLE TO THE LEFT, TO DO THAT SIZE OF GEOMETRY AND MAINTAIN THE REGULARITY OF THE CHARGE AND THE ACTIVITY AND ENGAGEMENT, I WOULD THINK THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A VERY HIGH SCORE FOR HIM.

HE DID BEAUTIFULLY.

AGAIN HE IS JUST PROMPTING THE HORSE TO MAINTAIN THE UPHILL AND LIGHT CARRIAGE.

HE PRESENTED THE HALF PASS IN A LOVELY WAY WHERE THE FOREHAND WAS JUST A LITTLE BIT IN FRONT.

PERHAPS COULD HAVE HAD A LITTLE MORE BEND AND HERE IS THE CHANGE OF BEND FROM RIGHT HALF PAST THE LEFT CIRCLE.

VERY DIFFICULT.

TEST THE HORSES TRAINING.

A LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH ANKLE THERE.

WE WANT THE RIGHT FRONT AND LEFT ON ONE TRACK.

WE ARE ON FOUR TRACKS BUT FROM A JUDGE'S PERSPECTIVE YOU ARE GOING TO GET A SLOOTLY HIGHER MARK FOR BEING ON FOUR TRACKS THAN TWO AND A HALF.

SMOOTH TRANSITION TO THE MEDIUM WALK AND HE SHOWED US THAT LOVELY UPHILL BALANCE.

ONE SCORE FOR THAT BUT HE NAILED IT EXTENDED WALK COULD BE USING HIS BODY AID LITTLE MORE BUT IF THE HORSE IS GETTING BOTTLED UP, YOU DON'T WANT TO PRESS YOUR LUCK MAYBE GET A 7 AND NOT TRY TO PUSH FOR AN 8, NOT TO BE GREEDY.

KEEPING THE MARCH LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT BUT THE POLE HAS COME UP.

HE HAS REMAINED SWINGING IN HIS HIPS.

YOU CAN SEE THE TAIL MOVING A LITTLE BIT LEFT AND RIGHT VERY SOFT CONTACT.

I LOVE TO SEE THAT IN A RIDER WHEN THEY'RE PRESENTING IN FRONT OF THE JUDGE BUCK SITTING ON 29.9 AT THE MOMENT.

JUST KEEP YOU UPDATED WITH THE END RUNNING SCORES AS MUCH AS WE HAVE THEM.

>> A LOVELY REMAINING OF THE POLE REMAINING UPHILL HE LIFTED HIS KNEES NOT DRAGGING HIS TOES.

MAINTAINED A SLIGHT POSITION TO THE INSIDE WITH FLEXION, SHOWED THE RIGHT ABILITY OF THE HORSE FORWARD AND BACK IN THE MEDIUM.

IT WAS LATE BUT VERY NICE LOVELY UPHILL BALANCE THOSE COULD BE A LITTLE MORE STILL.

INTERESTINGLY THAT FLYING CHANGE SCORE THAT WILL HAVE DRAGGED IT DOWN COST HIM A PENALTY.

HE WAS 29.1, HE SITS AT 30.2.

>> INTERESTING.

I WAS WONDERING ABOUT THE MATHEMATICS OF THAT.

SECOND FLIGHT PASS, VERY STRAIGHT ON THE CORNER LINE.

LOVELY SUSPENSION.

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN EIGHT FOR ME.

SUPER LINE CHANGE.

THIS ONE WAS CORRECT.

VERY GOOD RINGMANSHIP I THINK RIDERS NEED TO ASK FOR SIX STEPS BEFORE LETTING THE REINS GO AND ALLOWING IT TO STRETCH.

DIFFICULT TO TEACH THEM TO STRETCH IF THE CANTER IS TOO ONGOING.

THEY FIND IT MORE DIFFICULT TO DO NICE QUALITY CANTER GETTING A LITTLE MORE ENERGIZED.

THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN ANOTHER 8 FOR ME.

I LIKE THE MORE ROUNDED TURN TO KEEP THE SOFTNESS AND SUPPLENESS WE WILL SEE WHERE IT GOES A FLYING CHANGE MARK REVIEW.

AND OF COURSE WE HAVEN'T HAD THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE JUDGES TO LOOK AT TIM PRICE'S YET.

THOSE TWO WILL HAPPEN VERY QUICKLY AFTER JUDGING HAS CONCLUDED.

AND THAT IS NEXT BECAUSE THE WORLD GAMES 5 STAR CHAMPION IN THE U.S.

BUT WHO HAS RANKED INSIDE THE WORLD'S TOP 20 BRINGS OUR 5 STAR DRESSAGE TO ITS CONCLUSION WITH CARLEVO.

I THINK IN BOTH CIRCUMSTANCES HAVING LISTENED TO PETER ALONGSIDE ME TALKING ABOUT THEM, I THINK WE'VE OWE GOT TWO CHANGES THAT WERE LATE THAT MAYBE ONE JUDGE JUST DIDN'T PICK UP ON THAT FACT FROM THEIR ANGLE SO BOTH CASES TIM PRICE AND BUCK DAVIDSON ARE LIKELY TO SEE THE PENALTY SCORE GET A LITTLE BIT WORSE AS IN HIGHER WHEN THE REVIEW IS DONE.

SO THEY WILL MOVE THE HIGHEST SCORE BACK TO ONE OF THE OTHER JUDGES SCORES TO MAKE IT MORE EQUITABLE AND TO SHOW THAT THE MOVEMENT WAS JUDGED CORRECTLY AS IT WAS PERFORMED.

FLUCTUATING UP AND DOWN ABOVE AND BELOW 30 PENALTIES HERE AND ACTUALLY IT LOOKS LIKE ONE OF THE SCRIBES HAS GONE BACK AND CHANGED THE SCORE IN LINE WITH THE WRITTEN RECORD.

THAT COULD BE A CAUSE OF REVIEW COMING FORWARD FOR A SHORT WHILE.

WE NO LONGER HAVE THE REVIEW AFTER THE ASTERISKS.

WE WILL SCROLL THROUGH, MAKE SURE THEY HAVE ALL THE SCORES FROM ALL THREE JUDGES AND THEN WE WILL BE ABLE TO LOOK AT IT.

AT THE MOMENT IT LOOKS LIKE SUB 30 FOR BUCK AND CARLEVO.

>> IF HE COMES IN UNDER 2.8, WOULD BE THE SAME SCORE AS HANNAH SUE AND HARBOUR PILOT.

AND IT IS.

IT IS EQUAL 8 FOR BUCK AND CARLEVO.

29.8, 71.910 AND NOTHING SHOWING AGAINST THE RANKING OF EIGHT SO CLEARLY IT WAS JUST A COMPUTER INPUT ERROR AND THEREFORE WE JUST WE'LL HAVE TIM PRICE TO BE CONFIRMED.

LETS LOOK ATTAR WITH WE ARE RIGHT IN MATERIALS OF THE TOP THREE.

WE GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO REMIND OURSELVES OF THE PERFORMANCE OF OUR TOP THREE ATHLETES AND ALLIE KNOWLES AND MORSWOOD, FIRST 5 STAR FOR MORSWOOD AND THEY WENT RIGHT UP THERE.

28.8 SCORE.

AND A VERY, VERY EYE CATCHING TEST FROM MORSWOOD HERE TODAY.

FIRST 5 STAR WAS 234 MARYLAND 12 MONTHS AGO.

TIM PRICE AND COUP DE COEUR DUDEVIN, TIM PRICE, THIS YOUNG HORSE IN ITH FIRST 5 STAR.

10 YEARS OLD.

CURRENTLY SITTING ON 27.6.

THAT MAY BE TWEAKED UNDER REVIEW BUT WHATEVER WAY, THE WORLD NUMBER ONE IS GOING TO BE RIGHT IN THE HUNT FOR THE 5 STAR HERE IN MARYLAND IN NORTH AMERICA.

BUT AFTER DAY ONE, OUR LEADER WAS WOODS BAUGHMAN WITH C'EST LA VIE.

ARE THEY ABOUT TO RIDE TO A 5 STAR VICTORY?

THEY HAVE HAD TWO GOES AT IT THIS YEAR.

LUCK HAS NOT BEEN ON THEIR SIDE.

THIRD TIME LUCKY COULD BE LITERALLY THE CASE FOR WOODS BAUGHMAN AND C'EST LA VIE.

THEY'RE THE DRESSAGE LEADERS ON 27.2.

LET'S LOOK AT THE RESULTS.

COMPARE IT TO THE SKY WE HAVE HERE TODAY AND LOOKING FORWARD TO A SUNNY WEEKEND OF CROSS-COUNTRY AND SHOW JUMPING AS WELL.

WOODS BAUGHMAN LEADS THE WAY WITH C'EST LA VIE.

TIM PRICE COUP DE COEUR DUDEVIN IN SECOND, ALLIE KNOWLES IN THIRD, ASTIER BABYLON de GAMMA THEY WILL BE THE FIRST 5 STAR COMBINATION ON COURSE TOMORROW.

TAMMY SMITH AND DANITO SIT SIXTH BUT LOOK AT THOSE SCORES.

OLIVER'S SCORE HAS BEEN FLUCTUATING.

WENT TO 30 AND THEN BACK TO 29.9.

PHILLIP DUTTON AND Z, JENNY BRANNIGAN AND LIFESTYLE, JUST IN FRONT OF LAUREN NICHOLSON AND THEN WILL COLEMAN OWNED BY TEAM REBECCA.

TOP 15 ALL BETTER THAN 65%, JUST BELOW 65%, JENNY BRANNIGAN, TWILIGHTSLASTGLEAM.

BUCK DAVIDSON, ZACH BRANDT AND DIRECT ADVANCE 35.9.

35.9 ALSO FOR CAMPGROUND.

THEN HARRY MEADE, HALEY FREILICK, ALL OF OUR 5 STAR COMPETITORS SCORING BETTER THAN 60%.

THAT IS A LOWER PENALTY SCORE THAN 40 SO OF COURSE IT'S WONDERFUL TO HAVE THE WORLD NUMBER ONE.

AND THAT IS TIM PRICE.

TIM SPOKE TO FRANKIE A LITTLE BIT EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON.

>> TIM PRICE, THE WORLD NUMBER ONE AND A GREAT, GREAT PERFORMANCE FOR YOU HERE TODAY AT MARYLAND.

>> AN EXPERIENCE AT THIS LEVEL WAS COUP DE COEUR DUDEVIN, I STILL PRONOUNCE IT WRONG EVERY TIME.

JOKE TO HIS FAMILY AN FRIENDS.

HE EXECUTED ALMOST ALL OF THE TESTS AT THE OPTIMUM LEVEL, THAT'S ALL I WANT FROM ANY HORSE IS TO DEMONSTRATE THE LEVEL THAT THEY'RE WORKING OF COURSE BONUS IS A BONUS HE WAS REALLY GOOD TOMORROW THERE IS GOING TO BE A LOT OF WORK TO DO OUT THERE, HAVE YOU HAD A WALK AROUND AND WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT.

SOON WILL YOU FINISH CELEBRATING WHAT WENT WELL TODAY AND QUICKLY TURN YOUR ATTENTION TO THAT.

>> IT IS FUNNY BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN JUMPING BIG TRACKS ALL YEAR WITH LOTS OF DIFFERENT HORSES AND YOU WOULD THINK THAT WOULD START TO HAVE YOU IN A BIT OF A MORE CASUAL BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN ABOUT BIG FENCES AN THAT'S NOT THE CASE.

I'M QUITE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ONE I LIKE THE FEELING SUPER TRACK BOOK ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.

TODAY IT IS YOUR WIFE'S BIRTHDAY SO WE KNOW THEY'RE NOT HERE THIS WEEK BUT MAYBE A QUICK HELLO TO YOUR FAMILY BACK AT HOME.

>> HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JANUARY RIO DE JANEROEL AND-- TO JANELLE AND I WILL SEE YOU IN A FEW DAYS.

>> GREAT TO HEAR FROM TIM AND WONDERFUL TO HAVE RIDERS LIKE HIM AND HARRY MEADE AND ASTIER NICHOLAS AND OLIVER TOWNEND MAKING THE JOURNEY HERE.
