When was the last time you saw an off-the-track Thoroughbred leading a 5-Star three-day event?

At the 2025 Maryland 5⭐, Monica Spencer and her incredible Thoroughbred Artist did the unthinkable — outscoring some of the world’s top Warmbloods to take the lead after dressage.



This is the story of heart, harmony, and the quiet determination of a horse who wasn’t bred for dressage… but proved that courage, trust, and partnership can outshine bloodlines. ❤️



Join us as we relive their breathtaking performance, explore Artist’s journey from racetrack to international stardom, and celebrate what makes this pair so special.
