Equine Canada awards the Susan Jane Anstey Trophy to an exceptional individual who has delivered outstanding media coverage serving to enhance the image of Canadian equine interests to the Canadian public. Susan Sellers’ article in the September 2012 issue of Horse Sport, “Remembering the XIX Olympiad, Mexico City 1968″, certainly captured the imagination of the readers in her first-hand account of her time in Mexico watching the Canadian Equestrian Team capture its first gold medal in show jumping competition. With candid accounts of the entire Games, Sellers, of River John, NS, easily allowed her audience to venture back to Mexico during that exciting time in Canadian equestrian history.
“I’m thrilled to be the recipient of this award, because it honours a very special person, Susan Jane Anstey, who did so much to promote and encourage the horse sport and equine industry here in Canada,” said Sellers. “The award acknowledges her work and it makes it a great honour for me to win.”
“I would like to thank the magazine who nominated me, Horse Sport, and the editor, Susan Stafford-Pooley.”
