The CCI Bromont Three Day Event is proud to host The Todd Sandler Challenge in memory of an aspiring young event rider, Todd Sandler, 18, of Dollard des Ormeaux, Québec who died tragically in a car accident on April 26, 1999 while returning home from the Rolex Kentucky Three Day Event. There he had been doing what he loved best – grooming and lending a hand to his fellow Canadians and, of course surrounding himself with horses. Todd was a member of the 1999 Canadian Eventing Team Talent Squad, and was working towards his goal of being named to the National Team.
Todd was one of Canada’s best eventing prospects for the future. The entire equestrian community and his friends at Bromont sadly miss him.
