This week, sponsor Martha Younger of BDF Equestrian presented our Open Welcome class held in the Main Stadium. Mrs.Younger & BDF Equestrian also awarded a leading rider award to the highest placed U25 rider in the class. an initiative placed in order to offer a leg up to our younger generation of riders to rise up to the challenge that is to compete among the professional riders. Mrs.Younger & BDF Equestrian also offered a bursary to the U25 junior and amateur riders competing in yesterday eveningโ€™s Open Welcome class. A very kind and generous donation supporting the future of our sport in Canada.

Newcomer to Angelstone, Israelโ€™s Alberto Michan took top honors as well as third place aboard Gletscher EIS E and Costa Nostra respectively. On the second step of the podium stood Hyde Moffat, a very familiar face to Angelstone, aboard Coeur de Lion II. Daniel Michan piloted Karina R to fourth place. Safe to say the Michan brothers are starting things off strong on their first visit to Angelstone! Stay tuned for more of their impressive results!
