The final five athletes who will form the Canadian showjumping team will be named by the Jump Canada High Performance Committee by 29 September, 2010.
“We face challenges due to the injuries of some of our top horses, but we have a strong rider base,” said Terrance Millar, chef d’équipe of the showjumping team. “I am confident that we will put together five horse and rider combinations that will be competitive.”
“Given Hickstead’s current form, Eric Lamaze has to be considered as one of the front runners to become the 2010 World Champion,” added Millar.
