4-Star Trailer to Be Auctioned Off to Benefit the Maryland 5 Star at Fair Hill
4-Star Trailers, the Official Trailer of the Maryland 5 Star at Fair Hill, along with Triple C Trailer Sales have generously donated a customized 2023 4-Star (2+1) Gooseneck Horse Trailer to be auctioned for the benefit of the event, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The event’s thrilling second edition returns to the Fair Hill Special Event Zone in Cecil County, MD, October 13-16.
The Maryland 5 Star at Fair Hill, one of only two 5 Star level equestrian events of its kind in the United States and just the seventh worldwide, made a spectacular debut last year, welcoming a total of 20,886 spectators and 184 competitors that featured four of the top eight eventers in the world. The event’s prestigious 5 Star (CCI5*-L) designation is the pinnacle of the Olympic sport of Eventing, often described as an equestrian triathlon.
In addition to the 5 Star competition (CCI5*-L), the event also features a 3 Star competition (CCI3*-L), which serves as the USEF CCI3*-L Eventing National Championship, and The Dutta Corp. USEA Young Event Horse East Coast Championships Presented by Dubarry of Ireland. The four days of eventing competition feature Dressage (Thu-Fri), Cross-Country (Sat) showcasing Ian Stark-designed courses, and Show Jumping (Sun).
Retailing for just under $59,000, the 2023 (2+1) Gooseneck Trailer is white skin with added slats for extra protection. Features include a fully carpeted 4’ front dress area with three saddle racks and six bridle hooks and fully rubber-lined and padded horse area, including a large 102” box stall and larger Warmblood-sized stalls. Extra roof vents provide more ventilation in the stall, while two 60” easy-lift ramps and extra lights on the interior and exterior allow for easier loading from either the side or the rear.
“We truly appreciate 4-Star Trailers supporting the Maryland 5 Star at Fair Hill,” said Jeff Newman, President & CEO of the Maryland 5 Star Event Committee. “Proceeds from the auction will greatly assist our efforts in producing an international event of this magnitude.”
“We are excited to be back for the second edition of the Maryland 5 Star at Fair Hill and look forward to participating in the continued growth of this amazing event,” said Lee Jones, National Sales Manager of 4-Star Trailers.
