Ottawa, ON— Keean White of Cambridge, ON, and Ian Millar of Perth, ON, will be Canada’s two representatives at the 2009 FEI World Cup Final in Las Vegas, NV, from April 15–19, 2009.

White won the Canadian World Cup League with a total of 53 points to secure his invitation while Millar, who finished third in the Canadian League with 49 points, was invited after runner-up Yann Candele declined.  White will be making his World Cup Final debut while Millar is already a World Cup record holder, having been the first rider to score back-to-back World Cup Final victories in 1988 and 1989 with the legendary Big Ben.

White’s best finish of the season came in the $100,000 Marquest World Cup Grand Prix in Palgrave, ON, where he finished second for a total of 17 World Cup points riding Celena Z, a nine-year-old Zangersheide mare sired by Cumano and owned by Ashland Group and Angelstone Farms.  The pair also finished fourth in the World Cup qualifying event at L’International Bromont in Bromont, QC, for an additional 15 points.
