The Canadian show jumping team comprised of Yann Candele, Tiffany Foster, Eric Lamaze and Ian Millar dominated a starting field of 12 countries to win the $75,000 Furusiyya Nations’ Cup, presented by G &C Farm, held Friday night, February 28, at the 2014 FTI Consulting Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, FL.

Canada finished the two-round competition with a total of eight faults, followed by Great Britain in second with nine faults and the United States in third with 12 faults. The win marked the sixth victory for Canada since the inception of the Nations’ Cup in Wellington in 2002.

Canada led the way at the half-way mark, having posted a perfect score of zero faults thanks to clear rounds from reigning four-time Canadian Champion Candele riding Showgirl, ten-time Olympian Millar riding Dixson, and 2008 Olympic Champion Lamaze aboard Powerplay.
