DECEMBER 2010 THE RIDER /51 Alison Moore Named Jump Canada Owner of the Year


Ottawa, ON — Alison Moore of Kanata, ON, was named the Jump Canada Owner of the Year for 2010.


Chianto, ridden by John Pearce, placed eighth indi- vidually from a starting field of 121 horses at the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games held in October in Lexington, KY. As members of the Canadian Show Jumping Team, Chianto and Pearce helped Canada finish fifth and earn its qualification for the 2012 London Olympic Games.


Moore’s horse


Moore and her father, Ger- ald Moore, attended the HITS Culpeper horse show in Virginia and tried Chianto for the first time. Moore purchased Chi- anto, a grey Danish Warmblood gelding that is now 14 years old, as her perspective Grand Prix mount after observing the horse’s natural jumping talent and scope.

Over the next five seasons, Chianto and Moore worked their way up from the 1.10m Junior/Ama- teur division to Grand Prix competi- tion. Moore’s transition from Chi- anto’s rider to her new role as owner began in the spring of 2007 when she was sidelined with an injury.


of competition at the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games, Pearce and Chianto incurred four faults, which converted into 2.70 faults. They added only one time fault over two rounds of jumping in the second phase. In the third phase, Pearce and Chianto incurred eight faults in the first round and one time fault in the second to finish in eighth place over- all with a total of 12.70 faults over five rounds.


Originally, the plan had been for Pearce, a Canadian Olympian, to take Chianto to Cali- fornia for the 2008 winter circuit and sell the horse. Instead, the pair’s partnership flourished and their strong results eventually led them to a spot on the Canadian Show Jump- ing Team for the 2010 World Eques- trian Games where Chianto repre- sented Canada for the first time in international competition.


Following the first phase


“Just to be present at the first World Equestrian Games held on North American soil was a once in a lifetime experience,” said Moore, who owns Mikali Farms and operates a sport horse breeding program. “To have a horse com- peting there, and not only compet- ing as an individual but also repre- senting Canada, was unbelievable! For John and Chianto to place eighth in the world was incredible.” Moore added, “To be rec- ognized as the Jump Canada Owner of the Year is an incredible honour. Being a part of Chianto’s career has
