Guest Letter from the Chair THE WARM-UP RING The Official News of the Jumping Committee July/August 2017, Volume 13, Issue 7 GUEST LETTER FROM THE CHAIR We are proud to feature Beth Underhill, Canadian Show Jumping Team chef d’équipe IN THIS ISSUE for the 2017 North American Children, Junior and Young Rider Championships, as this issue’s special guest contributor. medal podium in the Young Riders’ Eight New Directors Elected to the division. I believe team spirit was the key Equestrian Canada Board of Directors to our success. We had quite a few team meetings, and I tried to speak to a different theme each time as well as share my own Young Guns! Profiling Mary Jones experience as a Canadian Equestrian Team member. Not just the good parts, but also Canada Dominates 2017 North when you had to pull yourself out of a hole. Being able to overcome that element of the American Children, Junior and Young sport is what makes you strong and makes Rider Championships you appreciate the good times. By sharing my own experiences, I Canadian Show Jumping Team Named wanted to encourage these developing for CSIO5* Gijon athletes, and let them know that they are not alone. We have all experienced the feelings they were going through at Canadian Show Jumping Team Named Starting Gate Communications these Championships, and that is an for CSIO 3* Samorin, Slovakia important point to remember. Don’t think Dear Readers, for a minute that Eric Lamaze steps into the ring for a big class and never has Canadian Team Announced for Spruce As chef d’équipe, I will start by saying that butterflies, for example. I really tried to Meadows ‘Masters’ BMO Nations’ Cup I really enjoyed having the groups from relate it to how a rider feels when they’re the East and the West come together at competing as a member of a team. I’ve a championship event. It was important to been on teams where spirit is lacking and New Longines FEI World Cup™ me that we felt national pride as a cohesive I’ve also been on teams where, on paper, Jumping North America Member Events Canadian team, and a lot of the kids had we weren’t expected to do anything but Announced not had the opportunity to get to know we pulled together, pulled up our socks, each other prior to this event. They were and surprised everyone. I think sharing a little tentative at the beginning, and you my own experiences was an important Canadian Success Stories really saw their comradery build throughout part of my role, and I also asked the kids the week. They all became good friends to speak up if they had a question, and let and were respectful of what the others them know it was important to have open Longines World Rider Rankings had worked on and achieved in order to communication with everyone. I think that be there that week. That was enjoyable was very beneficial in creating a strong to watch and very gratifying. It was also a bond amongst our team. Acknowledgments great decision to have the FEI Children’s division added to the Championships this One thing I talked about early on was to year, giving us one more opportunity to field have everyone out there and to be behind a team and expose our developing riders to each other. They were really engaged and a championship event. watching and helping. Even Mary (Jones), who suffered the disappointment of not These Championships represent the best being able to compete when her horse was result that Canada has ever had, earning hurt, was there helping when it couldn’t two team and five individual medals, have been easy for her. The fact that she including a clean sweep of the individual did that made her just as important to the JULY / AUGUST 2017 THE WARM-UP RING 1 team, and that’s what it is all about. We are so fortunate to have these opportunities to represent our country, and how you behave when things don’t go your way says a lot about who you are as a person and as a team member. I was really impressed. (Editor’s Note – see our Young Guns! feature in this issue for more on Mary Jones.) It may seem like a small detail, but I was pleased that we had all of our clothing and apparel organized this year. The kids looked outstanding, and it made such a difference! We were so well-turned out, and the kids were so proud of their clothing and so excited to receive it. It put everyone into a nationalistic state of mind as proud Canadians. We have Equiline and Grant Production Testing Services, who generously covered the cost of the clothing, to thank for that. Jackets, windbreakers, custom-made Equiline jackets with beautiful emblems, beautiful new show shirts and t-shirts; we were the cat’s meow! We received a lot of compliments, and even had Americans coming up and saying they loved the Canadian Team clothing. We also had new bonnets, coolers, and saddle pads for the horses as well as SSG Gloves for the riders. It really set the tone for the week. We looked the part! David Ballard was our assistant chef d’équipe and, between us, we really focused on staying involved and present. Even though the riders had their own personal coaches, we were there to watch the warm-up ring, for example, and that helped the riders feel like they were supported and part of something bigger. We had a great team behind the scenes as well; the grooms were amazing and the support staff from Equestrian Canada were great cheerleaders. The families were all there supporting their riders, and David spent a lot of time with them, helping to make the experience enjoyable for everyone. We had a strong group of Canadians at the event, and that made everyone feel patriotic and excited to do their best. The pride in competing for our country was palpable. As Canadians, we are known for our politeness and our kindness, and all the young athletes demonstrated those qualities. As a chef, you could not have asked for a better group of kids to represent their country. They realized how important this event was, and how much it took for them to get there. They rose to the occasion, and I was absolutely thrilled!

JULY / AUGUST 2017 THE WARM-UP RING 2 Kathy Russell Riding in the anchor position for Team Canada, Mary Jones jumped clear with Cartoon in the opening round of the FEI Junior Team event at CSIO4* Odlum Brown BC Open in Langley, BC. YOUNG GUNS! PROFILING MARY JONES By Emily Riden The first time that Mark Laskin watched Mary Jones ride, the now 15-year-old was decked out in neon orange breeches and a baby blue show shirt, and she and her then eight-year-old gelding Cartoon delivered what Jones describes as a “sketchy round.” Laskin was able to look past Jones’s bright colour preferences and saw talent and potential in her as well as in her mount, Cartoon. Three years later, her trainer’s intuition has been proven correct, as Jones has now established herself as a strong up-and-coming rider to watch, accumulating numerous top results aboard Cartoon. In 2016, Jones was named the Xerox Junior Rider of the Year after accumulating the most points of any junior athlete in 1.40m competition at Spruce Meadows in Calgary, AB. In June of this year, she represented Canada for the first time as part of the Canadian team contesting the International Equestrian Federation (FEI) sanctioned Junior team event, held during the CSIO4* Odlum Brown BC Open tournament at Thunderbird Show Park in Langley, BC.

  • Three Greatest Equestrian Events Combine to Create €1M Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping
    THREE GREATEST EQUESTRIAN EVENTS COMBINE TO CREATE €1M ROLEX GRAND SLAM OF SHOW JUMPING 26 APRIL 2013 Gothenburg, Sweden PRESS RELEASE THREE GREATEST EQUESTRIAN EVENTS COMBINE TO CREATE €1M ROLEX GRAND SLAM OF SHOW JUMPING Gothenburg, 26 April 2013 – Three of the world’s greatest equestrian shows – the CHIO Aachen, the CSIO Spruce Meadows ‘Masters’ Tournament and CHI Geneva – have joined forces to create the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping; the first global initiative to reward the outstanding rider who wins the Grand Prix at each show in succession. The winner of the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping will be rewarded with a €1 million bonus prize. Each of the three prestigious and historic equestrian shows in the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping has a long tradition of sporting excellence. This joint creation by the three shows has been devised as a means to set the ultimate equestrian challenge; as a long-term partner to Aachen, Spruce Meadows and Geneva, Rolex quickly appreciated the significance of the Grand Slam and is honoured to become the exclusive partner. Eric Lamaze, the only rider to have won the Grand Prix at each of the three shows on the same horse, said: “There are many great events on the Show Jumping calendar, but the three Grands Prix that comprise the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping are without doubt the ones which the riders all want to win during their careers. Winning even one leg of the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping is an incredible and career-changing achievement; to win all three in a 12-month period would create a legend of the sport overnight.” Commenting on the title sponsorship, Arnaud Boetsch, Communication & Image Director of Rolex SA, said: “Throughout our history, Rolex has been driven by R tradition and excellence, so when the three shows approached us with the idea of the Grand Slam of Show Jumping, we quickly appreciated its global resonance and degree of difficulty, which would make it achievable by only the very best horse-and- rider partnerships.
