arl Slezak began riding at the age of seven, and achieved his ‘A’ level with the Canadian Pony Club. At the age of K16, he became interested in eventing and began working with Canadian Olympian Garry Roque. Having competed at the 2002 North American Young Riders’ Championship, it was Karl’s 17th place fi nish at the 2004 CCI*** Fox Hall Cup, highlighted by a strong dressage performance and a clear cross-country jumping round, that allowed him to meet the qualifying criteria for the 2004 Olympic Games. His top mount is Private Ryan, a Dutch Warmblood gelding that Garry purchased as a fi ve-year-old. With a reputation for being diffi cult, Private Ryan became Karl’s ‘project’, and the two have formed a strong partnership.
