FEBRUARY 2019 THE WARM-UP RING 2 Jump Media Ava Wong and Concelo competing in the Children’s division of the 2018 North American Youth Championships at Old Salem Farm, New York. YOUNG GUNS! PROFILING AVA WONG A Positive Outlook and Fierce Competitive Streak Have Helped Ava Wong Achieve Big Goals By Molly Sorge It was Ava Wong’s dream to compete at the North American Youth Championships (NAYC), and it had come true. But in her opening round of the Children’s division competition, the speed leg, things didn’t go her way. Her horse, Concelo, lost a shoe, and she missed a jump and had to circle. She finished in the middle of the pack with six faults. For many young teenagers, the rough start would be hard to overcome but not for Wong. “I was upset and disappointed in myself that my first day was like that,” said the 14-year-old. “But that only made me want to perform out of this world the next day and put down a spectacular round, and that’s what I did! A lot of people say it’s important to forget about your round if it was bad and carry on, but I think the exact opposite. It’s important for me to remember my bad rounds because they just remind me of how much I don’t want to make the same mistake again. I hate feeling disappointed in myself and like I could have done something better after a bad round. Reminding myself of how much I do not want to feel like that makes me perform to the best of my ability.” Wong, from Calgary, AB, was at NAYC representing Canada as an individual, and after that first round, she jumped three clean rounds and one round with just one time fault to climb back up the individual standings. By the time the 2018 NAYC held at Old Salem Farm in North Salem, NY, from August 1-5 had concluded, Wong and Concelo finished in sixth place overall in the Children’s division, open to riders aged 12 to 14. Wong’s trainer, Rodney Tulloch of Calgary’s Landmark Equestrian, wasn’t surprised by her comeback at NAYC at all. “She’s such a great kid. She’s a character,” he said. “She’s got no nerves at all, no matter what the situation is. Because of her temperament, she never gets the horses worried. She’s always very fun and kind yet, underneath that, she is so competitive. That’s the shocker about Ava, her competitive streak.” FEBRUARY 2019 THE WARM-UP RING 3 Wong doesn’t deny that she’s driven, Jump Media saying, “I am very competitive, so I naturally love competing at shows. I always put myself out there and set high goals. I think it’s important to set high goals because I know from experience that no goal is too impossible. For example, at the start of the 2018 season I was only competing up to 1.10m on my equitation horse, Aron, and by the end of the season I went clear in the 1.30m with Concelo.” A Busy Schedule Her quiet, implacable determination has stood Wong in good stead throughout her career. The ninth-grade student at Rundle College Jr./Sr. High School continues to set big goals for herself in riding and in fact is headed to Tashkent, Uzbekistan, as Canada’s sole representative in the FEI Jumping Children’s Classic Final to be held from April 17-21. She also balances those plans with playing on a competitive Ava Wong and Concelo quickly formed a strong partnership that took them all the way to the 2018 volleyball team and focusing on schoolwork. North American Youth Championships. “I am very busy balancing volleyball, riding, and very demanding schoolwork,” Wong said. “I believe that school is very important and should always be the top priority.” In fact, she made the decision not to travel to show on a winter circuit this year in order to prioritize her volleyball team. “It’s honestly pretty hard,” Wong said of her schedule. “My trainer is really flexible, and I try to go to the barn as much as possible. I average taking lessons four days a week, and I have three hours of volleyball practice three days a week. On Saturdays and Sundays, I do riding and volleyball back to back, but I love both sports enough to make that kind of commitment.” At the beginning of 2018, Wong only had show mileage in the hunter and equitation rings but she wanted to have the NAYC on her calendar. “It was a big goal because I really wanted to move up and compete in the 1.20m [Children’s division],” she said. “I wanted to represent Canada at such a well-known and big competition. At the start of the year, I decided I wanted to do it.” She went on the hunt for a horse to take her there. Tulloch found Concelo for her in Florida, and Wong bought the 13-year-old gray Westphalian gelding (Con Cento x Cantus) in May. Concelo had experience jumping up to the 1.50m level in Europe and had shown at the 1.45m level with Canadian Kim Farlinger during the 2017 season. Wong and Concelo’s connection was so instant that Tulloch lost any hope of bargaining leverage in the sale.

  • Hometown Honour Has Special Meaning for Jim Elder
    This page was exported from - The Auroran Export date: Sat Oct 2 8:36:49 2021 / +0000 GMT Hometown honour has special meaning for Jim Elder By Jeff Doner For decades, Aurora resident Jim Elder was an important part of Canada's national equestrian team, bringing home multiple honours and awards from various competitions from around the world. For his many accomplishments, Elder was inducted into the Aurora Sports Hall of Fame on Wednesday. ?It's great being part of the first class, but its greater having it done in your own hometown. It was my hometown for 50 years,? Elder said. ?I have to say that it is an extra special award because it is local. I did most of my competitive riding career in Aurora and hosted a lot of our functions there on our farm.? At 79, Elder has long since retired from his refrigeration business and competitive riding. However, he still rides recreationally and keeps busy with his grandchildren who all took a page out of his book by getting into competitive riding. Having been on the equestrian team for 35 years, there are a few particular moments that stand out for Elder. At the 1968 Olympics Games in Mexico City, Elder was part of a team that made history. Along with teammates Jim Day and Tom Gayford, the trio captured the gold medal in show jumping, marking the first Olympic equestrian gold medal in Canadian history. It was also the only gold medal for Canada at those games. Two years later, in 1970, the team proved that they were no fluke by winning gold at the World Championships in France and then in 1971 won another gold medal at the Pan American Games.
