clock more than three full seconds faster than Graham in a time of 49.43 seconds. Jill Henselwood of Oxford Mills, ON, was next up with George. The eight- year-old Hannoverian gelding gave his best effort, but the final time of 51.56 sec- onds was not fast enough to catch Can- dele.
Amy Millar of Perth, ON, and Picco- bello du Val de Geer, an 11-year-old Bel- gian Warmblood mare owned in partner- ship by Millar Brooke Farm and Irish Oaks, then had two rails down on course to eventually finish fourth.
As the final jump-off challenger, Henselwood had the advantage of having
two horses in the jump-off as well as knowing exactly what she had to do to win. When IV Ever, a nine-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding owned by Juniper Farm and Stacie Ryan, had the first jump down, victory belonged to Can- dele.
for the past three years, and said, “She has won some smaller Grand Prix and she has been competitive at the lower level. We have been trying to move her up a bit, and today Carolla jumped so well. It was a great day to win.”
“I went early in the jump-off and I thought that the other three riders behind me could be fast, so I wanted to put some pressure on them,” explained Candele of his jump-off strategy. “I had a good pace; I actually ended up going faster than I wanted to. I knew I had to make some tight turns because there were a lot of long gallops, and both Amy and Jill’s horses are faster across the ground than mine. I had to take chances in the turns, and that was what made the difference. I was very pleased with the end result.” Candele has been riding Carolla Z
Candele, who will represent Canada next week at the World Equestrian Games in Lexington, KY, riding another mount, Pitareusa, was especially pleased to win at the Canadian Show Jumping Tournament. “It was a special to win at Tournament, where we are raising money for the Children’s Wish Foundation,” said Candele. “The weather always makes it difficult for a special event like this – we have experienced every type of weather in the past five days, but a lot of people attended and, in my opinion, it was a great success. It is so special that this year’s Children’s Wish recipient, Mirja, had her wish granted and gets a horse that she can ride. That is the whole concept of the Tournament, and we are so pleased to be a part of it.”
While Candele won Sunday’s Grand Prix event, the overall winner of the Caledon Cup was Henselwood and IV Ever. Comprised of three events held Thursday, Sat- urday as finally Sunday’s Grand Prix, the Caledon Cup rewarded the most consistent horse-rider combination over the three phases of competition. Henselwood was especially pleased to win with IV Ever, as he is just starting his career at the Grand Prix level. “To win an established competition like the Cale- don Cup is fantastic!” said Henselwood, who was a member of Canada’s silver medal team at the 2008 Olympic Games. “I had horses that were basically inter- mediate horses in the format, they are new to any grand prix level, and they have never jumped three test days in a row. What a learning curve for them to jump tracks by a course designer like Christa Hiebach. She had a lot of different tests that we don’t see in North America, and it was great that they had the opportunity to get that expe- rience. George is eight years old and IV Ever is nine, but they are both at the same level in competition. George jumped out of this world today, I don’t know if I have ever sat on a horse that jumps like him, but IV Ever said, ‘Hey, don’t forget about me!’ and just stepped right past everybody. When they jump like they did today, it makes it very exciting for us.”
Henselwood, who is the traveling alternate for Canada’s four-man team at the World Equestrian Games, went on to say, “The Canadian Show Jumping Tournament is the last chance that we have to jump out- side in Canada, and what a way to finish! I look forward to taking the experience given to me this week and car- rying it forward.”
As the final outdoor event of the season in eastern Canada, the Canadian Show Jumping Tournament played host to several year-end championship events including the $56,000 Jump Canada Nation-
