Orion was an Olympic Team horse for Canada, trained to the Advanced level by Pia’s former coach, Leslie Reid, who represented Canada with Orion at the 2008 Olympic Games in Hong Kong. In the fall of 2009 Orion was sent to Europe to be sold, during that same time Pia, a 2006 NAJYRC Gold Medalist, also moved to Europe. It was during this time the two began a partnership, and Pia subsequently purchased Orion. At the age of 25, Pia rode in her first Grand Prix with Orion, and they went on to compete very successfully at the International Grand Prix level in Europe. Orion took Pia all the way to the Canadian Senior Team, and their career together culminated when they were named the reserve combination for the 2012 Olympic Dressage Team in London. Sadly, Orion died in January, 2014. His passing was not only a loss to Canadian dressage, but a devastating personal loss to Pia and her family. “I never truly lost Orion for he will always live on in my heart, and it brings me an incredible amount of joy to know that Orion will also live on in the legacy of the Orion Cup,” says Pia Fortmuller. THE ORION CUP The Orion Cup’s purpose is to encourage and support young Canadian athletes with transitioning from the Young Rider level to the Grand Prix level. It is geared for athletes between the ages of 16-25 years old. The Orion Cup not only encourages young athletes to focus on training and planning, but also provides them with a tangible goal. AWARD The recipient of the Orion Cup will receive a commemorative jacket and cooler plus a $1,000 cash prize. In addition, the recipient will be recognized as the Orion Cup National Champion.
