Following both regional and provincial Jump Canada Medal Finals, the top finishers from across Canada were invited to contest the Jump Canada Medal Final Championship.  At the Royal, Bingham came out on top following skillful rides in both the jumping and flat phases aboard her horse Matchmaker, her nine-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding.

“I was so nervous when I made the top four,” said Bingham, 17, who prepared for the Jump Canada Medal by competing south of the border in the Maclay Regional Championships and the USEF Equitation Finals.  “Chris prepared us really well which made the class go very smoothly.”
