Ottawa, ON—The Canadian Eventing Committee has named all six Canadian horses that competed at the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games in Lexington, Kentucky, USA, September 30–October 3, 2010, as the Omega Alpha Pharmaceuticals Inc. Canadian Event Horses of the Month for September.
Omega Alpha Pharmaceuticals Inc. Canadian Event Horses of the Month for September are Port Authority, a 12-year-old Canadian-bred Selle Français/Thoroughbred gelding co-owned by rider Stephanie Rhodes-Bosch and her mother, Patricia Bosch; Colombo, Elaine and Michael Davies 15-year-old Swedish Warmblood gelding, ridden by Selena O’Hanlon; Exponential, a 12-year-old bay Canadian Thoroughbred gelding, owned and ridden by Jessica Phoenix; Gin & Juice, a 10-year-old bay American Thoroughbred mare owned by her rider Hawley Bennett-Awad and Linda Paine; Riddle Master, Caroline Bazley’s Canadian-bred nine-year-old Canadian Sport Horse gelding, ridden by Rebecca Howard; and Madison Park, a 12-year-old Thoroughbred gelding owned by his rider Kyle Carter and Jennifer Carter.
The Canadian Team, also sponsored by Omega Alpha Pharmaceuticals Inc., finished the Games in the silver medal position. This result was not only Canada’s first eventing team medal at a World Championships in 32 years, but also qualified the Canadian Eventing Team for the 2012 London Olympics.
The six Canadians produced a record-breaking cross country performance by all completing the Mike Etherington-Smith’s designed course without any jumping penalties. Three of the Canadian horses also finished within the tight time allowed to finish fault free, while the other three added minimal time penalties.
“Now that the WEG experience is over we are all enjoying looking back at such a fantastic experience. So many names and faces made up our Canadian squad and we are fortunate to have a fantastic group of owners whose enthusiasm and support contributed greatly in motivating our riders and support team. Our owners’ love of their horses and their commitment to competitive success is what helped us reach the podium. We cannot thank them enough,” said the Canadian Eventing Team Chef d’équipe, Graeme Thom.
Canadian Eventing created the horse recognition program to celebrate the achievements of Canadian owned horses that represent Canada in North American competition. Canadian Eventing is also very pleased to have Omega Alpha Pharmaceuticals Inc.’s generous support of this horse recognition program. Omega Alpha Pharmaceuticals Inc. will be providing each owner of the Horse of the Month with a generous gift certificate of $200 credit towards the purchase of Omega Alpha products of their choice.
