Fair Hill & The 4-Star T e past summer, the board of directors of


Fair Hill International submitted a bid to the United States Equestrian Federation to become only the second 4-Star event in the United States (and the seventh in the world). T is new Olympic-caliber event would be held in the autumn of 2018. FHI currently hosts a 3-Star event. T e only 4-Star currently in the U.S. is T e Rolex Kentucky T ree-Day Event held each April. If Fair Hill were to become a 4-Star event, Maryland then would equal Kentucky as having a Triple Crown race (the Preakness) and a 4-Star event, Fair Hill International. Trish Gilbert (FHI chairman) and Carla Geiersbach (FHI executive director) are working closely with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and the Maryland Horse Industry Board in developing the bid. T e following team has been assembled to assist: · Facility Designer Todd Gralla from Populous (designer of the equestrian venue for the 2012 London Olympics) · Course Designer Derek DeGrazia (Fair Hill course designer and course designer for 2020 Tokyo Olympics) · Maryland Director of Sports Terry


Hasseltine (also vice president of the MD Stadium Authority)


T e next step in the process will be for the


USEF to schedule a site visit. Four other U.S. sites have also submitted bids; all sites are privately owned except for Fair Hill.


Prince George’s Equestrian Center John Petro, of Petro Design Build, has been


given approval by the Prince George’s County and the Maryland-National Capital Park & Planning Commission to study the Prince George’s Equestrian Center for potential improvements (including an equestrian village dubbed for now “Marlboro Park”) and privatization. is summer, Petro, Terry Hasseltine from the Maryland Stadium Authority and Ross Peddicord, executive director of the Maryland Horse Industry Board, did an exploratory site visit to the Tryon, NC International Equestrian Center.

Various parts of the property are leased out for a variety of private uses, from individuals leasing barns and paddocks to organizations leasing offi ce space (such as the National Steeplechase Association). A variety of activity organizations lease diff erent parts of the grounds for events, ranging from equine-related (Fair Hill Races, Fair Hill International) to agricultural (the county fair) to biking and hiking groups – and even demolition derbies. T e property includes a nature center, hiking, biking, bridle and carriage trails,


pavilions, grandstands, steeplechase courses, barns, arenas, cross-country courses


and more. What has been lacking is an overall vision and plan for the property, particularly to protect, preserve and perpetuate the initial equine-focused vision of founder William duPont. T e Fair Hill Foundation will help to direct such a vision, will assist in brokering the relationships between the various government agencies and nonprofi t organizations, and will assist in raising funds.
