Ottawa, ON, March 31, 2018 – The Canadian Dressage


Team delivered under pressure to take the silver medal in the CDIO 3* Nations Cup, held March 28-30, 2018 during the 12th and final week of the Adequan Global Dressage Festival (AGDF) in Wellington, FL. The annual Nations Cup provides Canadian dressage


athletes with the rare opportunity to compete as a team. As per the AGDF nations cup rules, teams consist of three or four riders, and can contain a mix of big and small tour horse-rider combinations, with a bonus of 1.5% added to big tour scores. Teammates, Diane Creech of Caistor Centre, ON,


Brittany Fraser-Beaulieu of Saint Bruno, QC, Megan Lane of Loretto, ON and Jill Irving of Moncton, NB landed in their second place position from the get-go after the CDIO 3* Grand Prix, which represented day one of team com- petition on March 28. Fraser-Beaulieu led the team aboard All In (Tango x


Damiro), the 13-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding she co-owns with her father, Craig Fraser and husband, Marc- Andre Beaulieu. Starting strong for the maple leaf, she scored 69.804% for fourth place in the grand prix. They returned the following day to rack up another fourth place position and a new personal best score of 71.148% in the CDIO 3* Grand Prix Special. “All In is still a bit green in the Special, so I was ex-


tremely thrilled with his performance,” explained Fraser- Beaulieu, who has been on fire at the AGDF this season, setting new personal bests throughout the season, and picking up her first CDI 4* win during week 10. Lane nabbed fifth in both the Grand Prix (69.391%)


and Grand Prix Special (69.234%) with her 2016 Rio Olympics partner, Caravella (Contango x Riverman), a 17- year-old Dutch Warmblood mare she co-owns with her mother, Cathy Lane and sister, Kelsey Lane. Irving took sixth in the grand prix with 69.043% and


seventh in the special with 67.234% aboard Degas 12, the 16-year-old Hanoverian gelding she owns with Windhaven Farm. Creech rounded out the Canadian contingent with eighth place in both the grand prix and the special, part- nered with Chrevis Christo (Chrevi’s Cavallo x Matador), a 15-year-old Danish Warmblood gelding she co-owns with Louise Leatherdale.
