After two days of watching our eventing team on FEITV.org and cheering them on I was anxious on our arrival in Lexington to find out how the stadium jumping phase had gone. The team, comprised of Hawley Bennett-Awad, Kyle Carter, Selena O'Hanlon and Stephanie Rhodes-Bosch. The cross country test was amazing with all four team rider going clear with no jumping penalities and only two with minimal time faults. With the best three of the four scores to count, they added only one rail, for four faults, to a final total of 151.50 finishing in the silver medal position. This result was not only Canada's first eventing team medal at a World Championships in 32 years, but also qualified the Canadian Eventing Team for the 2012 London Olympics.
Let us just say that in true Eventer Fashion (I used to be one) the party went on all night. In the lounge, the lobby, and spilling out into the parking lot. Way to Go Team Canada.
