has a great work ethic, but he’s a bit special in that he looks at what is around the jumps instead of at the jumps themselves. We’ve been working on his focus, and my sense is that as he gets older, he will focus more on the job at hand. I think at this point in his career, we have a good sense of his character and his power. He’s ultra care- ful, his scope feels good, and he’s a fast horse.” The Six-Year-Old Reserve Championship title went to Incognito, an Old- enburg gelding by Contin- ue. Imported from Ger- many, Markus Beerbaum recommended the purchase of Incognito to Canadian Show Jumping Team short list member, Tani Zeidler of Zeidler Farms Canada Ltd.

“Markus said he had a lovely young horse that was well-bred, and that has cer- tainly proven true,” said Lori Green, Manager of Zeidler Farm for the past two years. “He is a really spectacular horse and has performed amazingly well for us.”


The National Finals marked only the second time that Darragh Kenny had ridden the chestnut gelding in competition. The first was in August during the Summer Fort

Classic at Thunderbird Show Park in Langley, BC, when the pair topped the Six-Year-Old Division in the Jump Canada Young Horse Series.


“It’s a very special horse,” said Kenny, who represented his native Ire- land at the 2010 World Cup Final. “He has so much


quality. He’s brave, scopey and careful. He jumped fantastic, and tried really hard. In the Final, he was jumping too high in the jump-off, but that is a nice complaint. It’s very nice of Tani to give me the oppor- tunity to ride such a special horse.”


Of the three phase


championship format, Kenny noted, “I love the fact that it’s done over three days and rewards consisten- cy. The courses are very appropriate to the age, and Leopoldo Palacios built super tracks at the right height that asked the right technical questions.”


Throughout the sea- son, young horses compet- ed in three regions across the country - Eastern, Cen- tral, and Western. The top horses in each age division from each region were invited to contest the National Finals of the Jump Canada Young Horse Series.
