Canadian Olympic Team member for Dressage Ashley Holzer of Toronto, ON, finished 24th individually on Tuesday, August 7, at the 2012 London Olympic Games. A total of 50 athletes competed individually in the equestrian sport of Dressage at the Olympic equestrian venue of Greenwich Park.

Riding Breaking Dawn, Holzer earned a score of 71.317% to place 24th in the Grand Prix Special, the second individual qualifier held Tuesday, August 7. All seven international judges comprising the ground jury awarded Holzer scores of 70% or higher.

Holzer’s expressive test was highlighted by strong work in the tempi changes, canter tour, and passage, particularly the second passage after the walk. Unfortunately, Holzer had small errors in both canter pirouettes.
