“It was hard work and lots of training in the months leading up to the Championships, and I was lucky to have the opportunity to train with Leslie Reid and Carmie Flaherty for the weeks in which my coach, Wendy Christoff was competing in Europe for Canada,” said Ingham, 17. “The Championships were the most intense and rewarding rides of my life, definitely an experience I will never forget. Throughout the whole show, both in and out of the competition ring, Norseman was phenomenal. I couldn't have asked for more from him.”

“I must give many thanks to my coach, Wendy Christoff, my parents for their continued support and to my fellow riders—especially my teammates Monica Houweling and Sylvie Fraser—for making the Championships so memorable. There were many people who helped make the journey to the NAJYRC possible and I am very appreciative of their support. A thank you must also go to Red Scarf Equestrian for the generous sponsorship of Athlete of the Month. It is truly an honour to receive this award,” she added.
