It's Here! Maryland 5*

I just woke up this morning and went to the USEF live stream, not realizing at all that this is the 3* cross country and was soooo confused at how small the jumps looked for a while :joy: I was like wow why have I never really heard of these 5* riders!!!

Briggs Surratt should have retired long ago.

in my smurf opinion, this is a fall waiting to happen

Any news on Zick Zack? Fell at next to last?

Any updates on Lillian Heard’s horse? He was basically on 3 legs after taking a bit of a flyer to the ramp after the water complex.

My friend who is there and saw it said she stayed down for a while but then just popped up and walked back to the barn!

I haven’t got to watch the livestream, but it looks like the time must have been pretty generous, lots of double clears.

Side note looking at that picture of Chilli Morning … now that helmets have become commonplace, those tall top hats look extra ridiculous. They will always remind me of Mr Peanut.

Almost ready for the 5*! This is going to be so much fun!

Does anyone have a link to the course map? I’m out on course and can’t figure out my way around and I’m EXHAUSTED. “Shuttles” are kind of a joke. I need to plan an escape of it starts storming lol

I don’t know if this will help.

Clayton Fredericks has withdrawn Stormtrooper from cross country.

I thought they were starting at 1220? Did I miss something?

and it looks like he stopped bc he was eliminated, not because he chose to retire.

i’m just glad that mare’s day didnt end with a fall

My livestream on USEF network is working.

Here are the live scores as well - I like the fence by fence info. https://live.rechenstelle.de/2021/elkton/leaderboard01.html

Are you seeing horses going? All I see is the water tower and hear people talking in the background

Yes - Buck just came off unfortunately when his horse twisted over the brush at 10A
