The Maryland 5 Star, a premier five-star eventing competition in the United States, has been cancelled for 2026 due to financial issues faced by its organizers. US Equestrian confirmed the decision, noting efforts to secure a new licensee for a lower-level event at the same venue. The pause aims to allow for better preparation for a potential return in 2027.
The Mars Badminton Horse Trials has received 80 entries for its event scheduled for 6-10 May, marking no waiting list for the first time since 2023. This follows the cancellation of Mars Maryland 5 Star and comes amid discussions on the five-star level of eventing. H&H eventing editor Pippa Roome assesses whether the lower numbers signal concern.
