There is disappointment as Canada fails to advance to the team final, but two riders will fly the maple leaf in the next individual qualifier.

Day 1 of show jumping at the FEI World Championships in Aachen saw ups and downs for the Canadians; Team Final begins Thursday.

Ballard will take her winning momentum to the World Championships in Aachen before returning to Traverse City for CSI5* competition this fall.

Jacob Pope's mount Jecibelle gets her first international win, while Erynn Ballard earns the Leading Lady Rider Award after a great week.

The Canadian rider kept the wins coming in the $31,100 CSI3* Speed at Traverse City aboard her “serious weapon”; Amy Millar a close second with Christiano.

This time, victory was hers aboard Her Game Ball BG in the $31,100 Hippodata CSI3* Welcome Stake at Traverse City.

With a World Championships campaign ahead, the Canadian rider earned her second major win of the week at GLEF II.

“I think he's like Hickstead; this horse can change my life” remarked the Canadian rider of her new partner Genius de Rance.

Riding Genius De Rance, the Canadian galloped away with another victory at the Kentucky Spring Classic.

The Canadian piloted the 9-year-old stallion owned by Ilan Ferder to the fastest clear jump-off round at the Kentucky Spring Horse Show.
