Ali Ramsay of Victoria, BC, won the $86,000 Grand Prix and claimed the coveted Caledon Cup on Sunday, September 24, at the CSI2* Canadian Show Jumping Tournament at the Caledon Equestrian Park in Caledon, ON.

Site of equestrian events for the 2015 Pan American Games, the Caledon Equestrian Park was hosting its fourth and final week of International Equestrian Federation (FEI) sanctioned competition for the 2017 season. A total of 30 competitors took on the challenge set by course designer Oscar Soberon of Mexico and when 13 pairs successfully negotiated the first-round track, the heat was on for the jump-off.

Ten-time Canadian Olympian Ian Millar, 70, of Perth, ON, was the first rider to post a clear round in the jump-off, guiding Vittorio 8, a nine-year-old Hanoverian gelding (Valentino DDH x Ramiro’s Bube) owned by Future Adventures, home in a conservative time of 45.76 seconds.
