Rebecca Howard and Selena O’Hanlon led the Canadian team at the 2012 CCI /CIC Jersey Fresh Three Day Event, held May 10–13, in Allentown, New Jersey, USA by placing first and third in their respective divisions. The competition also featured top ten performances by Hawley Bennett-Awad, Michele Mueller, Jessica Phoenix and Shandiss Wewiora.

Fresh off their second place finish at the CIC 3* The Fork,  Norwood NC, at the beginning of April, Howard of Salmon Arm, BC, and her 2010 World Equestrian Games partner Riddle Master, Blithe Hill Farm’s 11-year-old Canadian Sport Horse gelding, claimed victory in the advanced CIC 3* division with a final score of 52.8. Sitting in fourth place following dressage with 48.4, the pair added only 0.4 cross country time and four jumping penalties for the victory.

“Riddle Master keeps getting better and more confident in the dressage and it is fun to have that show on the score board,” said Howard. “He was a machine once again on the cross country. We are very proud him and really excited for his owners/breeders Jean Watson and Caroline Bazley of Blithe Hill Farm.”
