Peter Barry of Dunham, QC was the top Canadian rider in the CCI 3* division at the Dansko Fair Hill International Three Day Event held October 14–17, 2010, in Elkon, MD, USA. 

Barry finished in fourth place with Kilrodan Abbott, 11-year-old Irish Sport Horse gelding owned by the rider and his wife, Susan Barry. After dressage, Barry was tied for 19th place in the large field of 45 starters on a score of 62.6. The pair were only one of two CCI 3* entries to finish on their dressage score, moving up 15 places following their picture perfect performances in both cross country and show jumping to finish in fourth place overall.

“Kilrodan Abbott started competing in the Advanced division this year, and it has been an awesome season for us. It is just a privilege to have such a great horse,” said Barry, who also finished in second place this year in CIC 3* division at Jersey Fresh with his horse earlier this year. “Fair Hill was a great event. The jumps were very well built, and the course was difficult but doable. The organizers put a lot of effort into the competition and deserve much credit for a well run weekend.”
