Riddle Master Named Omega Alpha Canadian Event Horse of the Month for October
November 10, 2009
Ottawa, ON—The Canadian Eventing Committee has named “Riddle Master” as Omega Alpha Canadian Event Horse of the Month for October.
Riddle Master, the eight-year-old Canadian Sport Horse gelding, owned by Caroline Bazley was the top placed Canadian horse in the CCI 3* Dansko Fair Hill International Three Day Event held October 15–18, 2009, in Elkon, MD, USA.
Ridden by Rebecca Howard of Salmon Arm, BC, Riddle Master was tied for 33rd place after dressage in the large field of 66 starters, on a score of 56.4. The pair added just 11.2 time penalties over the rain soaked cross country course which saw only the division winner make the time and then jumped a fault free show jumping round to achieve a final score of 67.6 penalty points.
“One of the things that makes my mother, Jean Watson, who is 81, very proud is the fact that our family—my mother, my sister Elizabeth Stewart, and I—bred a three star event horse who might be on the path to the Olympics,” said Bazley. “We are very pleased to have our Canadian horse ridden by a great Canadian rider, Rebecca Howard, doing so well at the international level.”
Canadian Eventing created the horse recognition program to celebrate the achievements of Canadian owned horses that represent Canada in North American competition. Canadian Eventing is also very pleased to have Omega Alpha Pharmaceuticals’ generous support of this horse recognition program. Omega Alpha Pharmaceuticals will be providing each owner of the Horse of the Month with a generous gift certificate of $200 credit towards the purchase of Omega Alpha products of their choice.
