berships on the 1st of November to avoid the December Rush for January 1, 2023. I had many interesting conversa-


tions with members. One was whether they were covered to ride in Quebec. I contacted BFL and this was the re- sponse: As long as the CRHRA is On- tario Based: Quebec residents can be members of (CRHRA-On based) Member’ s coverage is Canada/US wide ( Members must be Canadian residents/ All suits must be brought to Canada, should a claim occur in the USA)


So you can ride in Quebec pro-


vided you have an CRHRA Ontario Membership .

onships. “I’d like to thank the people who sup-


port me in achieving my goals,” concluded Bergeron. “My parents, Brittany, and my groom, Laurence; they are a huge part of it. I couldn’t do it without them and all of my sponsors as well.” Canadian Equestrian Team veteran,


Shannon Dueck, also scored impressive re- sults during the opening event of the sea- son. Paired with As You Wish, Dueck contested the CDI1* division, earning scores of 70.647% in the Prix St. Georges and 69.647% in Saturday’s Intermediate I for second place in both classes. The close partnership between Dueck and her nine- year-old Hanoverian gelding (Wilkens x Contendro I) was evident throughout the competition. “I bought him when he was three days


under saddle as a sales horse but started to really like riding him,” said Dueck of the horse better known as ‘Wesley’ in the barn. “He has a super presence in the ring; he’s very supple, has huge extensions and beau- tiful changes. He’s super chilled and the first horse I’ve ever had that loves being in the awards ceremony. He’s really fun and a farm favourite.


gether. Patrick is ED of the Ontario Trail Council and sits on the Canadian Trails Federation Board representing us. I worked with Patrick & with the


OTC for many years being the voice of the horses when it came to trails, multi use, sin- gle tract and camp sites development. It is quite the process to get new trails devel- oped. Once Covid is gone we hope to get back to that. Give him a call at 613-484-1140 or

“I’ve had him for four and a half years


now and he’s very close to doing the grand prix,” continued Dueck. “He’s huge and he’s a really big and powerful mover, and we’re working at putting it all together. We’re starting to get the small steps, the pi- affe and passage, to be a grand prix horse.” Dueck has operated her dressage


training business, Dueck Dressage, in Lox- ahatchee, FL, since 2004 with the support of her husband, Lorne Dueck. Originally from Langley, BC, Shannon is a regular competitor and trainer at the Global Dres- sage Festival, which attracts competitors from around the world to Florida each year. “We’re so lucky to be competing in


the sport with so many top horses and rid- ers that it just raises everyone’s standards higher and higher,” said the World Cham- pionships veteran and Pan American Games individual silver medalist. “We’re also thrilled to have the spectators back this year; it makes such a difference to the whole atmosphere. Everyone is still being careful but we’re so lucky to be in a sport where we’re competing outside and so- cially distancing is not hard for us.” For more information on the Ade-


quan® Global Dressage Festival, which will host a total of six weeks of interna- tional competition sanctioned by the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI), visit gdf.coth.com/
