The Volvo CCI3* Bromont Three Day Event proudly hosts The Todd Sandler Challenge in mem- ory of an aspiring young event rider, Todd Sandler of Dollard des Ormeaux, QC. Todd at the age of 18 died tragically in a car accident on April 26, 1999 while returning home from the Rolex Kentucky Three Day Event. He was one of Canada’s best eventing prospects.
“Once again Bromont has seen record entries challenging for top spot over their spectacular course and facilities,” said Mike Gallagher, Equine Canada’s president. “Com- petitors from across North America had nothing but praise for the fantastic competition.”
