Canadian Olympian, Selena O’Hanlon of Kingston, ON finished as the top-placed Canadian at the renowned Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event, held April 26-29, 2017 in Lexington, KY.

Riding her long-time partner, Foxwood High, a 14-year-old Canadian Sport Horse gelding sired by Rio Bronco W and owned by John and Judy Rumble, O’Hanlon started out on a score of 49.8 penalties following the dressage phase that wrapped up on April 28. This put their initial standing at 27th.

“I was really pleased with Woody in the dressage,” said O’Hanlon. “He went above and beyond my expectations and he was really rideable in all of the areas we’ve been working on this winter. The test was really the second time we’ve competed with it, and so you learn a little bit about how they respond to it in the ring, doing the full test as opposed to just practicing the moves of the test at home. Overall, I was happy with his rideability and I know we can do better, so that’s great.”
