Ocala, FL., Oct. 25, 2021 – Naima Moreira Laliberté of Outremont, QC, represented Canada in the CDI-W Ocala international dressage com- petition held at the World Equestrian Center – Ocala in Florida from October 21 to 24, 2021. Laliberté, 24, earned


scores of 69.289% and 73.30% respectively in the Grand Prix and Grand Prix Freestyle riding Statesman, a 14-year-old bay Hanover- ian gelding (Sandro Hit x Brentano II) owned by KML Inc. The CDI-W Ocala served as a qualifying event for the 2022 World Cup Final to be held in Leipzig, Germany, from April 6 to 10, 2022. In Friday evening’s


Grand Prix competition, Laliberté placed third over- all behind her coach, Ashley Holzer, a former Olympic team bronze medalist for Canada who now represents the United States in interna- tional competition. Holzer earned the winning score of 71.132% riding Havana 145


followed by Codi Harrison, also of the U.S., who fin- ished


runner-up with


70.974% riding Katholt’s Bossco in the 10-horse start- ing field. Returning to the Cap-


tiveOne Advisors Arena on Saturday night, Laliberté had creative license to show- case her horse’s abilities in the $12,000 CDI-W Grand Prix Freestyle. Riding the grand prix movements cho- reographed to the music of her choice, Laliberté earned a score of 73.30% for fourth place. Holzer once again led the victory gallop with a score of 76.48% followed by Harrison in second with 75.04%. Third place went to Cristina Danguillecourt of the U.S. who rode Ulises de Ymas to 73.605%. Laliberté was the only other competi- tor to break the 70% barrier with all five members of the judges’ panel rewarding her with scores above 70%. Last month, Laliberté


was a member of the Cana- dian Dressage Team that placed seventh overall in Nations’ Cup team competi- tion at CHIO Aachen, GER, from September 17 to 19, 2021.


Naima Moreira Laliberté was all smiles after receiving a score of 73.30% in the CDI-W Grand Prix Freestyle with Statesman, owned by KML Inc.
