Hyde Moffatt of Brantford, ON, successfully defended his title in the $50,000 RBC Grand Prix held on Saturday, July 16, at the Ottawa Summer Tournaments at Wesley Clover Parks in Ottawa, ON.

Having won the feature event in 2021, Moffatt returned to the winner’s circle one year later with the same horse, Donjo. Proving his domination of the event, Moffatt also took second place with Grafton. Both horses are owned by Ariel Grange of Cheltenham, ON.

The grass field at Wesley Clover Parks was in prime condition to host top show jumping competition with a colourful and beautifully decorated course designed by Marina Azevedo of Brazil. While it may have looked inviting, rails fell throughout the course as rider after rider attempted to jump a clear round. Moffatt and Donjo had gone second in the order, proving a clear round was possible. However, no one else was able to leave all the rails in place, giving Moffatt the win without a jump-off. When the four-fault rounds were placed based on time, Moffatt found himself runner-up as well after producing a four-fault round in a time of 81.95 seconds aboard Grafton.
