McLain Ward and Sapphire win the $1,000,000 Grand Prix at Spruce Meadows!
Monday, September 14, 2009
McLain Ward and Sapphire, who ride in ECOGOLD's Forward Flap Hunter pad, showed they were the best of the best at Spruce Meadows, winning the $1,000,000 CN International Grand Prix, by 0.2 seconds in the jump-off.
W-O-W!!!
“She’s the fastest horse in the world, it worked out and he (Eric Lamaze) was nice enough to take a pull,” said Ward after winning $325,000 for first place in the CN International. McLain had been chasing this win for years and he landed perfect, took off beautifully and made all of the right turns, everything aligned on the final day of the Spruce Meadows “Masters” Tournament.
McLain Ward, champion of the CN International, wouldn’t take all of the credit for his tremendous win. “This is not an individual sport, this is a team sport. I am very lucky to have a great team,” said the champion. “We are only as good as two things, our horse and our staff,” added Ward.

Burghley Horse Trials - Day 3: Cross-country madness!
Saturday, September 5, 2009
Early this morning, the road to Burghley was jammed with cars as far as your eyes could see. Plus the train station was closed for maintenance (excellent timing from the National Railway Co. to choose the busiest weekend of the year to do repairs...)so they had buses instead of trains, which clogged the roads even more. Once at the show, it was difficult to walk there were sooo many people. I'm sure I stepped on a few feet, maybe even a couple of chihuahuas. Anyhow, it was a perfect, sunny day to watch cross-country. The course seemed to be very technical & and not many riders were able to finish clean under the time allowed.
ok, here are a few videos! I should have more tomorrow.

Burghley Horse Trials - Day 2: Gusty winds and a 7th place for Allison!
Friday, September 4, 2009
Day 2 at Burghley was super nice sunny day, except for the gale-force winds. Ok, I'm no meteorologist but it felt like hurricane Bill had decided to cross the pond. At a certain point, I even had to take off my hat, I was so afraid it would end up in the dressage ring while someone was competing.
The nice surprise today was the great perfomance from Allison Springer and Arthur who scored 47.3 to place 7th overall. Yay!!!
Tomorrow is cross-country day and Emma Ford (Phillip's super-groom)suggested I go film near jump 14-15 to get a nice view of a few jumps. That sounds great except it looks like 25 miles away, across a bridge, up a hill...I hope they have nice Land Rovers to take us there! My feet are seriouly killing me from getting lost around the 600+ shops.
Enjoy today's videos!

Burghley Horse Trials - Day 1: Phillip in the lead!!
Thursday, September 3, 2009
So I have finally arrived at Burghley (see how pretty it is on picture) and on the first day, Phillip Dutton gets 1st place and Karen O'Connor 6th (out of a field of 49 riders). What a great start!!
The show is really well organized with a giant screen outside the arena with live scoring so you never miss any of the action. The shopping is incredible with more stores than I have ever seen at an outdoor horse show - there's everything from pillows to traditional woven baskets. The weather has been typical English/Canadian weather that changes every 5 minutes.
On a personal note, my new UK cell phone spent the day browsing the web, wasting all the $40 of minutes I had just bought...
ok, enjoy today's videos!! - Patricia
