Eventing

CCI 1* COLORADO HORSE PARK THREE DAY EVENT

Two Canadian riders finished in the top 10 at the CCI 1* Colorado Horse Park Three Day Event, which took place from May 31 to June 2 in Parker, CO, USA.

Caroline Smith of Spruce Grove, AB was the top-placed Canadian aboard her nine-year-old Paint gelding Lucas. Smith started and finished the competition in fourth place. After receiving a dressage score of 52.50 penalty points, she moved onto James Atkinson's challenging cross-country course, guiding Lucas to a faultless performance. In the final stadium jumping phase, they pulled just one rail for four jumping faults, bringing their total score to 56.50.

Fellow Alberta native Julianne Van Halst of Edmonton put in an impressive dressage performance, obtaining a score of 50.50 penalty points to start in third place aboard her 17-year-old Swiss Warmblood/Thoroughbred-cross gelding Tristan. They held onto third place after a clear cross-country performance, but had two rails down for eight jumping faults in the stadium jumping to finish in sixth place overall on a score of 58.50.
