Calgary, Alberta – The Canadian Show Jumping Team finished second in the $530,000 BMO Nations’ Cup held Saturday, Septem- ber 7, at the CSIO5* Spruce Meadows ‘Masters’ tourna- ment in Calgary, AB. Erynn Ballard of Tot-


tenham, ON; Kara Chad of Calgary, AB; Mario Deslau- riers of New York, NY; and Eric Lamaze of Wellington, FL, took on nine other coun- tries in the richest show jumping team competition held in North America. For the second year in a row, Canada finished in the run- ner-up position with a total of 14 faults. Belgium, the newly


crowned European Champi- ons, won in convincing fashion with a total of four faults. With victory sewn up after its first three riders posted clear performances in the second round there was no need for anchor rider Yves Vanderhasselt to return for a second time. Ireland took third with 19 faults; Sweden was fourth with 20 faults; Mexico fifth with 25

faults; and France was sixth with 53 faults. Only the top six teams returned for the second round with defend- ing champions Germany failing to make the cut. The United States, the reigning World Champions, also failed to advance while the Netherlands and Italy were also left on the sidelines.


As Canada’s lead-off


rider, Deslauriers had the opening element of the BMO triple combination down with Amsterdam 27, a nine-year-old Holsteiner gelding (Catoki x Acord II) owned by Luja LLC and Wishing Well Farm LLC. The fence would prove to be the ‘bogey’ element of the


day, falling more often than any other element on course designer Leopoldo Pala- cios’s tough track. The pair returned to jump clear the second time out, keeping Canada in the hunt for a po- tential third title in the event that has been held annually
