Rayne Dubois, 19, of Ottawa, ON had a Royal Horse Show debut to remember after taking the 2019 Running Fox CET Medal National Final title on Nov. 7 in Toronto, ON.
Riding Ferraro K, a 17-year-old Danish Warmblood gelding sired by Olympic Ferro and owned by the Brookstreet Stables Corporation, Dubois bested a field of 16 up-and-coming athletes who qualified for the Final from four regions across Canada (Atlantic, Ontario, Prairies and British Columbia).
“This is my first time at The Royal, it’s so surreal,” said Dubois, who was a student at the Ian Millar School of Horsemanship at Wesley Clover Parks in Ottawa, ON before moving to Millar Brooke Farm in April 2019 to train with Ian and Jonathon Millar and Kelly Soleau-Millar. “It’s been an incredible opportunity from start to finish.”
