Laderoute added 30.27 penalties following Obstacle-Cones, which gave her a final total of 280.48 for 21st place overall.
“It was a beautiful course and a great crowd,” said Laderoute. “We had a wonderful weekend of competition at WEG.”

“Myself, as chef d’équipe, and Trish Arnold, as team manager, are happy that our two drivers started today and both finished,” said chef d’équipe, Bill MacGillivray. “There were a number of other eliminations prior to their entering the ring, so we were successful. We made it through all three phases and we placed. It was a World Championship Obstacle-Cones course, and you had to know where you were going and you had to be able to drive with speed and technical ability as well.”
WEG Combined Driving Event is comprised of three phases, Driven Dressage, Marathon and Obstacle-Cones. The final placings are determined by the driver with the lowest combined number of penalties throughout all three competitions for individual results. To determine ranking among nations, the best two scores by the team drivers who have completed all three competitions can be used. The nation with the lowest total penalty points wins.
