While Canada could have sent two riders to compete at the 2019 Longines FEI Jumping World Cupโ„ข Final this week, neither Mario Deslauriers nor Nicole Walker opted to make the trip. โ€œIn light of overlap in competition/travel schedules, the Canadian athletes chose to prioritize Canadian Show Jumping Team opportunities,โ€ said Jessie Christie, Equestrian Canada manager of communications, on behalf of the EC Jumping department.

Meanwhile, American Beezie Madden will be going for a World Cup title hat-trick when Final kicks off this week in Gothenburg, SWE.

Madden may have double Olympic gold, World Championship team and individual silver and two World Cup titles under her belt, but the world no. 8 rider knows there is a host of European rivals determined to stand in her way. Among them is a rock-solid and on-form German contingent.
