Roberta Sheffield, who began competing for Canada earlier this month at a CPEDI 3* event in Mannheim, GER, continued her success for her new country at the CPEDI 3* Roosendaal in the Netherlands, held from May 16 to 18.
Sheffield, who currently resides in Lincolnshire, GBR, started out the competition with a seventh place finish (64.237%) in the FEI International Team Test aboard her 10-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding Wonderboy. The following day, she rose to fifth place in the Individual on a score of 66.146%. She finished on a high note, scoring 67.250% in the Freestyle for fifth place.
“My team and I learned so much from the experience. We have seen how we can up our game. It also gave us an opportunity to compete with the best in the world,” explained Sheffield. “The entire trip was a real eye-opener. I am absolutely psyched for the Hartpury and Bishop Burton CPEDIs later this summer.”
Canadian Team Coach Andrea Taylor was also excited about Sheffield’s prospects this season, stating, “We are really pleased with Roberta’s first competitions representing Canada. I look forward to working with her again this summer in the UK.”
