Canadian eventing riders earned impressive results in all divisions against a world-class field of competitors on home turf at the 2013 Volvo CCI 3* Bromont Three Day Event, The Todd Sandler Challenge, held June 6-9 at the Parc Équestre Olympique de Bromont in Bromont, QC.

In the advanced CCI 3* division, Selena O’Hanlon of Kingston, ON took second place with Foxwood High, a 10-year-old Canadian Sport Horse gelding owned by John Rumble. They were tied for 12th after a dressage score of 60.80 penalty points, but quickly moved up to fifth place due to an impressive cross-country performance.

The cross-country course featured a challenging track designed by Bromont’s (FEI 4*) course designer Derek Di Grazia of the U.S., and built by Canadian Jay Hambly of Fergus, ON and his team. Despite the rainy weather, O’Hanlon and Foxwood High incurred no jumping and just 4.80 time faults. They continued to move up the ranks after putting in a perfect round and adding no faults during Sunday’s final show jumping phase. This allowed them to finish on their cross-country score of 65.60.
