Canadian Eventing
What is Eventing?
Introduction
The sport of Eventing is best described as an
equine triathlon. It began as a military exercise and
competition for cavalry horses and officers to test
their endurance, agility, and ability to get quickly
between two points in the countryside. Today,
in the modern equivalent, the sport of eventing
encompasses three separate tests: dressage,
cross-country, and show jumping. Each is scored
individually but added together for the final results,
and the winner of the competition is the competitor
with the least number of penalty points gained over
the three phases. The team winner is the team with
the lowest aggregate number of penalties among
team members.
What is Canadian Eventing?
Canadian Eventing is a committee of Equine Canada
responsible for the sport of Eventing in Canada,
from the domestic development to the international
elite level. Canadian Eventing is governed by a
committee comprised of 12 members, including
two rider representatives. All activities of Canadian
Eventing are administered by this committee via
5 sub-committees with the support of technical
manager Fleur Tipton, who is based at the Equine
Canada offices in Ottawa.

Canadian Eventing, the national governing body for the sport of Eventing in
Canada. This Committee oversees all high performance activities, including
planning and administering the National Team Program, hiring of the Technical
Advisor, development of selection criteria and the selection process, and hiring
of competition sports science support personnel. The ERA membership is
also responsible for voting on the appointment of two of the Team selectors.

awley Bennett grew up on a hobby farm and was involved with the 4-H Horse Club and the Grove and Langley
Pony Club. With Livingstone, a thoroughbred gelding bred by her neighbour and purchased as a four-year-old,
Hawley formed a truly incredible partnership. Following a fourth place finish at the 1998 North American Young Riders’
Championship, Hawley, then 21, was named to the Canadian Eventing Team Long List.
In 2002, Hawley and Livingstone were the only pair to post a clear show jumping round to finish 14th at the CCI*** Fair
Hill International and, the following year, enjoyed a clear cross-country performance at the prestigious CCI**** Rolex
Kentucky Three Day Event. In the fall of 2003, they were members of the Silver Medal Team at the 2003 Pan American
Eventing Championships and Hawley’s Olympic dream became a reality when
she and Livingstone represented the Canadian Equestrian Team in Athens,
Greece.
Hawley credits her groom, Stacey Thorson, the never-ending support of her
mother, Gerry, and her coaches, Pam Arthur and Buck Davidson, for her success.
Hawley currently trains in Temecula, California.

ndrina Calder is one of Canada’s fastest rising stars. Just weeks after celebrating her 14th birthday, Andrina
claimed the CCIY* division of the 2002 Bromont International Three Day Event in Quebec. The venue would prove
to be a lucky one for Andrina, as she returned the following year to claim both Individual and Team Gold Medals in the
CCI-JY* division of the North American Young Riders’ Championship.
An extremely successful 2004 season saw Andrina enjoy a top 20 finish in her CCI** Radnor Hunt Three Day Event
debut, and culminated in Andrina being named the USEA’s Area I Young Rider Intermediate Champion. Andrina’s
international success to date has come riding HerzPrinz, her American Trakehner gelding. She is now also competing
successfully with Heraclea, an American Trakehner mare, at the preliminary
level.
For the past six years, Andrina has trained with 2004 Olympic Team Bronze
Medallist Darren Chiacchia at Independence Farm with locations in Buffalo, NY,
and Ocala, FL.

iding since he can remember, Kyle grew up on his parents’ thoroughbred racing farm. Interested in show jumping
as a teenager, Kyle trained with Albert Kley at the famed Spruce Meadows facility. At 18, he turned his focus to
eventing and spent one year training in England with 2004 Olympic Champion Leslie Law.
After returning to Canada, Kyle started up his own business of buying and selling horses off the Calgary racetrack. He
eventually moved his business to Kentucky, where he stayed for three years. It was while competing at the prestigious
Rolex Kentucky Three Day Event in 1996 that Elaine Davies spotted his talent and offered him the position of resident
rider at her Hawkridge Farm where Kyle was based until 2003. Partnered with Davies’ Scotia Gold Rush, Kyle enjoyed
a second place finish at the 1999 CCI*** Rolex Kentucky Three Day Event and
went on to represent Canada at the 1999 Pan American Games.
Currently developing a large string of horses, Kyle is now based in Sparr, Florida,
where he manages a training facility. Married to American event rider, Jennifer
Carter, Kyle enjoys sailing, skiing, running and windsurfing when he is not busy
riding.

A
t a young age, Katie excelled in the sport of eventing. She twice represented Canada at the North American Young
Riders’ Championships, winning the Individual Bronze Medal in 2002. The same year, Katie was the highest placed
young rider at the CCI** Radnor Hunt Three Day Event, finishing eleventh with Lord Ledgerwood. It was a feat she
would repeat in 2003 riding Mr. Freeze, when she placed tenth.
Katie achieved Long List status with the Canadian Eventing Team for the first time in 2002, and is currently short listed
based on her finish in the CCI*** Fox Hall Cup in Georgia riding Mr. Freeze, who she imported from New Zealand in
December of 2002. Katie credits several people with her success. Her parents, Leslie and Butch, and her younger
sister, Jacqui, also an avid event rider, have been very supportive of her career,
as has her coach and mentor, two-time Canadian Olympian Bruce Mandeville,
who has guided Katie from the preliminary to advanced levels.
A doctorate student of human chiropractics, Katie currently pursues her riding
career at South Farm, an eventing facility in Middlefield, Ohio.

ichelle Foster grew up on a cattle and horse ranch, so it was no surprise that she developed an interest in horses.
After spending her childhood in a western saddle, Michelle began riding english at the age of 11.
The story of Michelle’s top horse is a special one. She and her father bred Benneton themselves, his dam being one of
their thoroughbred mares. Benneton carried Michelle to victory in the 2004 CIC* Stonehill Horse Trials in Orangeville,
Ontario, and, that fall, placed 36th at the CCI** Radnor Hunt International Three Day Event in Pennsylvania to earn a
place on the Canadian Eventing Team Long List for the first time.
In addition to Benneton, Michelle will also be competing with Mr. Milo, who she
purchased as an unbroken three-year-old, and Kid Rock, who was also three
when she purchased him off the racetrack.
Michelle works as a trainer, specializing in problem horses and starting
youngsters. She played three years of college basketball, and also enjoys
volleyball, roller blading and running.

Timber Spirit, a well-bred English thoroughbred, was purchased from Lesley’s coach, Peter Gray. Lesley and Timber
Spirit have successfully completed the CCI*** Fox Hall Cup two years in a row, the 2003 CIC*** World Cup Qualifier at
Over the Walls Horse Trials and, in 2004, enjoyed top ten finishes at the CIC** Dreamcrest Horse Trials in Port Perry,

A
natural athlete, Trish was also a ski racer until the age of 18 when she had to choose between pursuing a competitive
career in skiing or riding. In what Trish says was an easy decision, riding won out and as soon as she completed
high school, she headed to Florida to be a working student for well-known American event rider, Ralph Hill. Trish
continues to spend the winter months in Florida, now receiving help from fellow Canadian, Kyle Carter.
Trish’s top mount is Amadeus, who she purchased as a four-year-old when she was 14. After eight years together,
Trish and ‘Deus’ attempted their first two-star competition at the 2004 CCI** Jersey Fresh Three Day Event, placing
tenth and earning Long Listed status with the Canadian Eventing Team. Her other partner is Gemini Gal, who Trish
purchased off the track as a four-year-old. In 2004, the pair began competing at
the intermediate level and Trish is hoping to do their first two-star together this
year.
Trish is currently studying Animal Biology at the University of Guelph. When she
is home in Ontario, she spends a lot of time teaching her own students and Pony
Club kids.

In 2003, Waylon rode Paleface to victory in the preliminary division of the Bromont Three Day Event before leading the
Ontario Team to a fifth place finish in the CCIJ* division of the 2003 North American Young Riders’ Championship, also
held in Bromont, Quebec, where he also placed sixth individually. In 2004, Waylon and Paleface were named as the
sole Ontario representatives for the CH-CY** championship division at the North American Young Riders’ Championship.
In addition to Paleface, Waylon is also working with Frosch, meaning ‘Frog’ in
German, and the equitation prospect, Raisin.
Waylon is based at his family’s Dreamcrest Farm and enjoys working around the
farm and helping with the construction of cross-country jumps. A student at Port
Perry High School, Waylon was also a former competitive diver, having competed
at the provincial level.

arry Roque began riding for Canada following a successful eventing career representing Bermuda which included
appearances at the 1990 World Equestrian Games in Stockholm, Sweden, and the 1991 Pan American Games
where he was a member of the Silver Medal Team riding Casemate.
Although Garry has lived in Canada since he was a teenager, he only obtained his citizenship in 1997 in the hopes of
earning a spot on the Canadian Eventing Team. In 2004, that dream came true when Garry made his Olympic debut in
Athens, Greece, riding Waikura, a New Zealand import owned by Gustav Quast.
While Garry has a string of talented horses, he has high hopes for Hakuna Matatta,
a thoroughbred-Hannoverian cross that he and the owner bred themselves.

essica Ruppel is a rising star on the Canadian eventing scene. She attended her first international competition in
2003 at the North American Young Riders’ Championship held in Bromont, Quebec, where she enjoyed a sixth place
finish individually in the CCIJ* division.
Her partner is Naughty by Nature, a cute but mischievous little horse that she began riding as a three-year-old on behalf
of a client. Jessica and ‘Chance’ quickly formed a bond, and Jessica became his new owner in the fall of 2003. She
has been the Ontario-bred gelding’s only rider, and does tend to spoil him with his favourite treats, including licorice and
mints.
After spending six years working at Checkmate Equestrian Centre, Jessica is
now based at Glenarden Farm where she is coached by Phillippa Bate and Jay
Hambly. She credits her parents, David Ruppel and Suzanne Noble, and her
brother, Justin, for their continued support of her equestrian pursuits. She enjoys
reading, hiking, camping, canoeing, swimming, running, biking, and music, and is
currently taking a distance education course with the University of Guelph.

fter riding for pleasure as a child, Nicole Shinton returned to the sport as an adult and quickly found her hobby turning
into a competitive career. In five years, Nicole has gone from being introduced to the sport to being the highest
placed Canadian competitor at the prestigious 2004 CCI** Radnor Hunt Three Day Event, and being named the 2004
Adult Amateur Intermediate Rider of the Year by the U.S. Eventing Association, a remarkable feat for a Canadian rider.
Based on her outstanding success, Nicole was named to the Canadian Eventing Team Long List with two horses,
Pamela and The Grey Pony, who was saved from slaughter in his native New Zealand. Nicole will be competing with
a large and talented string of horses in 2005, including the newly-acquired New Zealand-bred stallion, Internet, who
placed fifteenth at CCI**** Badminton Three Day Event and seventh at CCI**** Burghley Three Day Event, both in
England, in 2004.
Married to Alan Shinton, the couple own Greenbrier Farms, a 160-acre eventing
facility in Uxbridge, Ontario, that includes a brand new cross country course

K
arl Slezak began riding at the age of seven, and achieved his ‘A’ level with the Canadian Pony Club. At the age of
16, 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 finish 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 five-year-old. With a reputation for being difficult, Private Ryan became
Karl’s ‘project’, and the two have formed a strong partnership. Karl has ridden the mischievous gelding from his first
competition to the three-star level.

Purchased from Jody Sloper, Simon Says has a special place in Amanda’s heart and she describes the Canadian
thoroughbred as strong yet sensitive, and always willing. Together, they have climbed their way up the ranks, making
their one-star debut in 2000 and, in 2004, placing in the top thirty at the prestigious CCI**** Rolex Kentucky Three Day
Event. The pair also enjoyed a top ten finish in the World Cup Qualifier at The Event at Rebecca Farm later in the
year.

placing tenth at Galway Downs in 2003. He also successfully completed the CCI*** Fox Hall Cup Three Day Event in
Georgia.
Amanda graduated from Crofton House School and pursued her studies at the

nne Zander began riding as a teenager, but abandoned her equine interests to start a business and buy a home.
Anne returned to riding in her thirties and, in 1993, entered her first event at the pre-training level on a borrowed
horse and won! That was all it took to hook Anne into the sport.
Dr. Broom was purchased that fall, and the pair began competing in 1995. After a few difficult years and lots of
help, Anne and Dr. Broom finally clicked. In 2001, 2003 and 2004, the pair was named to Canadian Eventing Talent
Squad and, in 2005, achieved Long Listed status.
In 1999, Anne founded Cedar Peaks Enterprises and purchased Boogaloo Brushing Boots, the supplier to the Canadian
Eventing Team. Anne is married to Claus Zander, who competes at the training
level. The couple operates Cedar Peaks Farm, a training facility that boasts more
than 50 cross country jumps, a stadium jumping arena, and a 20 x 60 dressage
ring. They are dedicated to education and host several clinics each year as well
as a combined test show. When Anne can find time away from her horse-related
activities, she enjoys working on the rebuilding of a 120 year old farmhouse,
motorcycling, snowmobiling, skiing and swimming.
