Interested in Volunteering?
The success of all our competitions is dependent upon the generosity of many volunteers who give unselfishly of their time, energies and talents. The volunteering effort might be directly horse-related, i.e. jump judging cross-country hazards, or the effort might be clerical, or hospitality related. Some volunteers are young (13-17), some are parenting, some are working part or full-time and some are retired from “real jobs”. Whatever the volunteer’s profile, VOLUNTEERS MAKE IT HAPPEN! Come join us..

In addition to competition-related jobs we will be filling for the Maryland 5 Star at Fair Hill event, we will require several hundred additional volunteers to support the presentation of the overall four-day event. These volunteer “jobs” will be everything from admissions personnel, to ushers, to crossing guards, to point-of-information guides, to courtesy cart drivers, to hospitality hosts. Most of those need no specific horse knowledge. If you are interested in volunteering at the Maryland 5 Star you can send an inquiry email to vol
