In the second phase, it was Incognito, ridden by Darragh Kenny for owner Zeidler Farm Canada Ltd., who took the win over Underhill and Cavendish.


where he did the young horse classes, as well as here and in Quebec. He also did some 1.30m classes and gained a lot of experience. We’ve been very pleased with his pro- gression this year, and I am very appreciative of Teri and her support.”


As for Cavendish’s character, Underhill noted, “He Continued on Page 43.

For the third and final phase of competition held Saturday, September 24, the Six-Year-Old Young Horse Finalists were showcased in the grand prix ring at the Caledon Equestrian Park. Two-time Olympic course designer Leopoldo Palacios of Venezuela set the final test to determine the national champion.


With $10,000 in prize money on the line, it took a fast jump-off to determine the winner. In the end, Rober- to Teran guided Los Pehuenes Tornado to victory for owner Bob Suriwka with a jump-off time of 40.69 sec- onds to stay ahead of the 40.71 posted by Elliott Stone riding Stanley Stone. Kenny and Incognito placed third with a jump-off time of 41.11 seconds.


When the points were totalled after all three phases of competition, it was Cavendish who earned 33 points to take the Six-Year-Old Championship title over Incognito, who earned 32 points for the Reserve Championship title. Los Pehuenes Tornado and Stanley Stone tied for third with 29 points.


Despite his young age, it is not the first national title for Cavendish. The Dutch Warmblood gelding by Cantos out of an Ulster dam also earned the Five-Year- Old National Young Horse Championship at the Canadi- an Show Jumping Tournament for owners Underhill and Teri Erickson.


Underhill had spotted Cavendish at Paul and Emile Hendrix’s stable in the Netherlands over Christmas of 2009. She immediately called Erickson, who had expressed an interest in investing in a young horse while Underhill was conducting a clinic at her Maplebook Farm in Duncan, BC. That phone call has now resulted in two National Young Horse titles.


“He’s been two for two,” smiled Underhill, who represented Canada at the 1992 Olympic Games. “He had the opportunity to compete in Wellington this year
