2/ JUNE 2018 THE RIDER


Ottawa Continued from Page 1.


In the small tour, Tom


Dvorak of Hillsburgh, ON dominated the leaderboard,


earning a hat trick on Carla Bahr’s up-and-coming nine- year-old Oldenburg gelding, Cyrus (Contucci x Cor Noir). The talented pair saw a steady improvement in their scores, starting with


the CDI 1* Prix St. Georges on May 18 (71.078%), fol- lowed by the CDI 1* Inter- mediate on May 19 (73.039%), and ending on a high note with a score of 75.875% in the CDI 1* In-


termediate I Freestyle on May 20. Dvorak rode another


Oldenburg gelding owned by Carla Bahr, 16-year-old Ribot (Reno x Cor Noir), to follow in second place in both the CDI 1* Prix St. Georges (71.029%) and the CDI 1* Intermediate I (71.863%). “I’m so proud of both


the boys,” said Dvorak of his one-two punch. “Ribot did really well, and to top that with Cyrus was amaz- ing. To be neck-and-neck (with two of your horses), those days don’t come around often, so I’m really enjoying it.” Lori Bell of Beaver-


ton, ON followed Dvorak in the CDI 1* Intermediate I Freestyle, taking second with Flirt (Florencio x Don- nerhall), her 10-year-old Oldenburg gelding. The duo’s score of 74.042% was a personal best, as was their third-place

71.618% in the CDI 1* In- termediate I. In addition to her big success, Fraser-


Beaulieu rode strongly in the small tour, where she finished third in the CDI 1* Intermediate I Freestyle with a score of 73.083%, this time aboard Soccer City


(Sir Donnerhall x Welt- meyer), an 11-year-old Hanoverian gelding owned by Jill Irving and Wind- haven Farm. Jaimey Irwin also se-


cured solid results at both the big and small tour level. In the CDI 1* Prix St. Georges, he earned third place on a score of 70.196% aboard Ute Busse and Patri- cia Scherrer’s 10-year-old Oldenburg mare, Stiletto (San Amour I x Rosenkava- lier).


Canadian Olympian


Christilot Boylen of Loretto, ON also saw success at the Ottawa Dressage Festival. Riding her up-and-coming partner, Rockylane (Rock Forever x Rombach), an 11- year-old Westphalian mare, her highlight came in the CDI 1* Intermediate B, where she won on a score of 67.083%. Representing


the


maple leaf in the Under 25 (U25) division, Tanya Strasser-Shostak of Sainte- Adèle, QC took first place in the CDI-U25 Grand Prix Freestyle on May 20. Aboard Renaissance Tyme (Royal Diamond x Dream of Heidelberg I), a 15-year- old Oldenburg gelding owned by Evi Strasser, she was awarded a score of


66.917% for the win. In the Young Rider di-


vision, Vanessa Creech-Ter- auds of Caistor Centre, ON stole the show in her first CDI appearance with new mount, Harley L (His High- ness 2 x Expri), a 12-year- old Hanoverian gelding owned by Diane Creech and Louise Leatherdale. The fledgling


partnership


banked two wins - the CDI- Y Team Test on May 18 (69.314%) and the CDI-Y Freestyle on May 20 (73.292%). “We’re still getting to


know each other in the ring, so I’m proud of how he han- dled it,” said Creech-Ter- auds of Harley L’s performance. “It’s a lot more pressure going into a CDI ring, and the judging is a little bit harder, too, so I’m extremely happy with how we went. We haven’t been together that long, so I’m happy with the progress that we’ve made – we’re really growing up together.” Allison Youngdale of


Aurora, ON won the CDI-Y Individual, riding her 11- year-old Danish Warmblood gelding, Ramiro (Blue Hors Don Romantic x Rambo), to a score of 67.598%. They also placed third in the CDI- Y Freestyle with 68.750%.

Cobourg, ON and Ritter Benno (Rolls Royce x Weinberg),


Nicholas


Hansen’s 17-year-old West- phalian gelding, swept sec- ond place in all three CDI-Y classes, scoring 67.304% and 71.833%, respectively in the Team and Individual classes before finishing on a score of 71.833% in the Freestyle. They were joined on the leaderboard by Yan- ina Woywitka of Mer- rickville, ON, who placed third in the Team (66.275%) and Individual (66.814%) riding R’Myattack (Rheirat- tack x Wanderbursh II), an 11-year-old Oldenburg geld- ing owned by Susanne Dutt- Roth.
