American rider Lucy Deslauriers and her mount Hester prevail again in the standing of the Quebec Original Grand Prix at the Bromont Olympic Equestrian Park.

The course, designed by Anthony d’Ambrosio (USA), was the perfect ending for this first week of CSI3* competitions of the International Bromont. With 13 obstacles for 16 efforts, the course was long, technical; and demanding with its multiple broken lines, sharp angles, triple combination and two tight half-turns. No distractions allowed for the athletes.

Of the 34 rider-horse pairs participating, nine made it to the jump-off round, including Canadian Julia Madigan, Susan Horn, Keean White and Mario Deslauriers, American Christine McCrea and Lucy Deslauriers as well as Irishmen Conor Swail, Michael Hutchinson & the winner of Thursday’s opening event, Captain Brian Cournane.
