CANADIANS GET BEST OF DRAW – NORWEGIANS WILL BE PATHFINDERS
The Canadian team is drawn last to go in tomorrow’s Meydan FEI Nations Cup Final in Barcelona, Spain where the Norwegians will be first into the ring. A total of six nations will now line out following the late withdrawal of Denmark.
The order of go is as follows – 1, Norway; 2, Spain; 3, Finland; 4, Poland; 5, Hungary; 6, Canada.
YOUNG GROUP
Canadian Chef d’Equipe, Mark Laskin, has been campaigning his crew in Europe for the last two months. “They are a young group of riders and they’ve been very consistent. They’ve been jumping well and are very capable and I expect a good result tomorrow and a great competition” he said. He has Jonathon and Amy Millar, son and daughter of Canadian legend Ian Millar, in his side along with Jenna Thompson and Keean White. Olympic Champion Eric Lamaze is also at the Spanish fixture but is competing only as an individual. Asked if the logistics and expense of bringing a Canadian team to Europe next season if they qualify for the elite Meydan FEI Nations Cup series tomorrow would prevent them from taking part, Laskin replied, “we’ll wait and see what happens first, if it works out that way then we will have a dialogue about it when we get home.” Read more> http://www.horsesinthesouth.com/article/article_detail.aspx?id=8177
