Fair Hill International, known for the annual equestrian Three-Day Event in Cecil County, has been recommended to hold a "four-star" competition in that sport by the U.S. Equestrian Federation.
The USEF recommendation now goes to the international organization for the sport for a final decision in the fall, but it is entirely anticipated that the four-star eventing competition will be held by Fair Hill International in fall 2019. Fair Hill International already holds a three-star Three-Day competition -- often referred to as an equestrian "triathlon" -- at Fair Hill Natural Resource Management Area in Cecil County each October.
The big prize is the elevation of the Fair Hill International from a three-star to a four-star classification, attracting world-class competition. Currently, there are just six four-star Three-Day Event competitions in the world, and only one in the United States in Lexington, Ky.
