Canadian Show Jumping Team Seventh in Spanish Nations’ Cup


Vejer de la Frontera, Spain – The Canadian Show Jumping Team finished sev- enth in the CSIO3* Nations’ Cup held during the An- dalucía October Tour in Vejer de la Frontera, Spain. In its final outing of the


season, the Canadian team was one of 15 countries competing in the Nations’ Cup that offered €50,000 in prize money. Course de- signer Javier Trenor Paz of


Spain set fences at a height of 1.50m in the expansive grass arena for the two- round competition which saw the top eight teams move forward to the second round. Tim Wilks, 27, cur-


rently residing in Henley on Thames, England, was the lead-off rider for Canada. Riding Diamanthella VG Z, a nine-year-old Zanger- sheide mare (Diamant de Semilly x Hickory Mail) owned by IN Showjumpers, Wilks got things off to a strong start in the opening round with a score of four faults.
