Strasser, from Sainte-Adèle, QC, contested the Grand Prix qualifier for Freestyle class paired with her longtime partner Quantum Tyme, a 14-year-old Oldenburg gelding (Quattro x Argentinius).

They started the competition in the Grand Prix class obtaining an eighth place finish with a score of 64.600% before moving to the Grand Prix Freestyle where a score of 68.250% was achieved for another solid sixth place finish.
