Dayton Gorsline Chef d’Équipe for Canada’s Jun- ior team. “I sent her first be- cause she is so quick and consistent in her riding. I thought she rode exception- ally well.” “We went in the ring


hoping for clears and that’s what we got,” said Cher- noff. “This was our second time jumping the water to- gether, it was exciting, and Fay barely looked at the jump, it was quite the re- lief.”


Up second in the order

Langley, B.C., June 7, 2022 – The Canadian junior team put up a good challenge against solid competition from Mexico and the United States to capture second place in the BB Equestrian CSIOJ Nations’ Cup at Thunderbird Show Park in Langley, British Columbia on Saturday, June 4, 2022. The teenage squad of


Stella Chernoff, Ava Wong, Brooklyn Deacon and Eric


Krawitt were confirmed to represent the maple leaf after their individual results in the CSIOJ Junior Wel- come 1.40M on Thursday, June 2, 2022, also sponsored by BB Equestrian. With the weather still


wet, the event was held in the Thunderbird Arena to ensure good footing. As the rain let up, Chernoff, of DeWinton, AB, led the Canadian team order, jump-


ing clear in a fast first round, riding Fay (Willow x Silver- stone), a 12-year-old Dutch Warmblood mare, owned by Stump Lake Ranch & Cattle Co.. Staying strong and fo- cused, she put up a second clear round to hold scores for the team and provide an opportunity for the win. “Stella being the lead


off rider and jumping dou- ble clean I think is a very good achievement,” said


for Canada was Wong, from Calgary, AB riding Dammam. O.L a 14-year- old Dutch Warmblood geld- ing (Cardento x Arkansas) owned by Highland Farms. In her first round she had no rails down but took four faults at the water at jump 8. With course designers hav- ing added a rail there during the break, the duo hoped the change would make a differ- ence for them in the second round. Luckily it did and with no issues at the water, the pair then sadly downed the top rail at A of the triple combination to post four faults for the team contest. “I thought it was a re-


ally great course, and Jack- son – that’s his barn name - jumped really well,” said Wong. “I just had a couple of mistakes, and that’s why my score was the way it was, but I thought the entire team jumped amazing and we competed well.” Local rider Deacon, of

Abbotsford, BC was next in for Canada and incurred a total of 24 penalty points which became the first- round drop score with the team entering the second in the lead with just four penalty points. Then coming in for a second time, Dea- con’s own Decimus, an eight-year-old American Holsteiner gelding (Diarado x Riverman) had two re- fusals at the water jump causing them to be elimi- nated.

turity beyond her years, ex- pertly had him look at the open water, then exited. “Dezi just turned


eight, so he’s new to this level, he hasn’t jumped that many 1.40’s,” said Deacon. “So, I was happy that he jumped through the combi- nation in the second, he also had a foot in the water on the first round so he was just a bit nervous. Overall, I am just super happy with him.” Anchoring the team


was Krawitt of Okotoks, AB riding Chicago CM, a nine- year-old German Holsteiner gelding (Cassini I x Carpac- cio) recently purchased by Krawitt. The duo had a great first round and went clear as Chernoff did with no issues at the water. Being the last to ride in the second round, and with Mexico at the time holding at nine points and Canada at eight, a double clear was the only way to win. The crowd learned


early on at the Longines jump 5 with a rail down, that the home team would have to take silver. “Our team was very


good, the horses jumped well, and it was a good day,” said Krawitt. “I was happy with my horse, I just re- cently purchased him, and I think he’s going to go a long way.”


“I thought we were a


little unlucky that our last Continued on Page 42.
