In Longines FEI Jumping Nations Cup CSIO5* Of Mexico


proud of my horse today, I thought he jumped great and proved just how good he is.” The youngest member of the


Canadian team was next up for Canada. In her first CSIO5* appear- ance and only her second Nations’ Cup, 21-year-old Sara Tindale from Campbellville, ON showed maturity beyond her years riding Kino (Lord Z x Chambertin 3), a 15-year-old Holsteiner gelding owned by Ash- ford Farms. “This is a step up for me, and as

San Miguel de Allende, MEX, April 28, 2023 – The Canadian Show Jumping Team finished on the podium in third place in the Longines Fédération Équestre Inter- nationale (FEI) Jumping Nations Cup™ of Mexico on Friday, April 28, 2023. The inaugural event at the


Otomí Club Hípico in San Miguel De Allende, Mexico, the first of three successive Nations Cups in North America this year, was a true CSIO5* 1.60m course that chal- lenged all six teams in attendance to deliver strong performances. The stakes were especially high


for the American, Mexican and Canadian teams who came to battle it out for points towards qualifying for the Longines FEI Nations Cup Final in September in Barcelona, Spain. Leading off for Canada in the


first round was the seasoned and highest ranked show jumper on the Canadian team, Tiffany Foster of Langley, BC. Riding Hamilton (Quadros 3 x Acolord), a 12-year- old Holsteiner gelding owned by the Hamilton Group, the pair had an un-


characteristic start with a rail down at the first jump but completed a technically skilled round to hold their faults to four. “I think whenever you have


number one down, it’s just one of those unfortunate things,” Foster re- marked. “He had a little stumble in the warmup so I think I maybe rode a little stronger than I needed to, so I’ll take that one. But I was really


my first five star, I am very happy how it went,” Tindale shared. “Kino tried really hard, and I couldn’t be happier. A couple of small mistakes that we can go home and work on. I’m very grateful to be here with such incredible teammates who put in a fantastic effort.” The duo had two rails down on course and fin- ished the round on a score of 8. Up third was 42-year-old Erynn


Ballard from Tottenham, ON riding Gakhir (Spartacus TN x Labor’s VDL Indorado), a 12-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding owned by Es- peranza Imports LLC & Ilan Ferder.

What looked like a possible first clear for the Canadians, unfortu- nately a rail down at the first element of the triple combination resulted in a four fault round. “That round could have easily


been clean,” said Ballard. “I made a riding mistake and that’s part of the sport and sometimes happens. My horse really rose to the occasion today and we’re proving to our country and the world that we’re se- rious about being a part of the team.” Anchor rider Mario Deslauriers,
