Eric Lamaze joins the Cascais Charms as organizers promise safety will be the #1 priority as the events follow strict COVID-19 protocols.

Ben Maher and Tic Tac set a blistering pace to claim victory in the $137,000 Restylane Grand Prix CSI3* to wrap up the second week of WEF.

The first international grand prix of the 2021 WEF circuit ended in a win for Madden, with two Canadians in the top ten.

Molly Ashe Cawley (USA) and Berdien captured the win in the 1.50m class at WEF; Canada's Vanessa Mannix was 6th aboard Catinka 25.

The US rider soared to the top in the $37,000 Adequan CSI3* aboard Agana Van Het Gerendal Z; Canada's Eric Lamaze was 5th with Fine Lady 5.

“The horses are fresh ... They feel like they got a year younger with a year off," said the Olympic gold medalist following his win.

Described as "freaky careful", the seven-year-old grey Oldenburg gelding was purchased in partnership with Mark Rein and Tara Dow-Rein.

The talented seven-year-old Newberry Balia NL is showing and winning in Europe due to a circle of friends and some interesting circumstances.

While CSIO Aachen was tanked due to the Covid-19 pandemic, a new event currently running has attracted top jumping competitors from around the world.

“When someone comes to look at horses, it’s important for us to have a little bit of everything in our sales program,” says Eric Lamaze.
