Amy Millar of Perth, ON, was in the winner’s circle following her victory in the $35,000 CSI2* Caledon Cup – Phase Two, presented by Edge Mutual Insurance and Aviva Insurance, held Friday night, September 25, during the CSI2* Canadian Show Jumping Tournament at the Caledon Pan Am Equestrian Park in Palgrave, ON.
The Caledon Cup, held annually at the CSI2* Canadian Show Jumping Tournament, is comprised of three phases. Darrin Dlin of Calgary, AB, won the opening phase, the $10,000 Caledon Cup – Phase One, presented by Equestrian Management Group, on Thursday afternoon. On Friday evening, 34 grand prix competitors headed indoors for the first time in the Canadian Show Jumping Tournament’s history, making full use of the Caledon Pan Am Equestrian Park’s legacy from the 2015 TORONTO Pan American Games.
A challenging track set by course designer Bernardo Cabral of Portugal in the expansive indoor arena yielded a ten-horse jump-off. From there, four again jumped clear to put themselves in contention for the win. It turned out to be a family affair, as ten-time Olympian Ian Millar held the lead at the half-way point after turning in a clear round in a time of 37.52 seconds riding the newest addition to his string, Teddy du Bosquetiau, who served as Emily Kinch’s mount representing Barbados at the recent Pan American Games. His daughter, Amy Millar, knew she had an opportunity to take the win.
