Ex-cop Jeff Bagg became an entrepreneur in the horse industry by acting as consultant, helping horse shows prepare for worst-case scenarios.

British Columbia-native Dana Cooke is a new face on the Canadian Eventing Team, who helped them win a bronze medal at the 2019 Pan Am Games.

Horse Sport magazine takes a tour of a new world-class, state-of-the-art horse show facility in Quebec that you may have never even heard of.

The Individual Final was super-exciting, and once again it was a Brazilian, Marlon Modolo Zanotelli aboard the brilliant mare Sirene de La Motte, who snatched the gold medal (which seems to be a running theme at these Games). The silver was won not by the USA or Mexico, which you might expect, but by Argentinian José María Larocca riding Finn Lente, much to the delight of the fans waving the blue-and-white. Beezie Madden of the US snagged the bronze with Breitling LS thank goodness so that North America was represented on the podium.

Thirty-two riders started on a clean slate in the Individual Jumping Final in Lima over a colourful first-round course designed by Guilherme Jorge (BRA)

While it is not uncommon for sons and daughters of top riders to be competing against their parents in the show jumping ring – think Ian, Jonathon and Amy Millar, or the Whitaker dynasty in the UK – it is unusual for them to be representing different countries. Mario Deslauriers and his 20-year-old daughter Lucy are doing just that.

Those darn Brazilians (again). And Mexicans. And Americans. They all prevented us from winning a medal today (booo!) but we qualified a team for Tokyo anyway (yay!) seeing as there were three spots available and the US had already qualified. (Phew.)

The excitement and hope in the air was palpable the morning of the team finals at the 2019 Pan Am Games in Lima over the big track set by Guilherme Jorge.

The Canadian Show Jumping Team had a terrific first competition; however, a shocking elimination would cast a cloud over the event for the team.
