Hawley Bennett of Langley, BC, rode to a fourth-place finish in the CIC 3* World Cup Qualifier at the CIC-W 3* Galway Downs Three Day Event, held March 30 to April 1 in Temecula, California, U.S.
Riding her Olympic partner and 2005 FEI Eventing World Cup Final mount, Livingstone, the 17-year-old Canadian Thoroughbred gelding she co-owns with her mother Gerry Bennett, Bennett earned her fourth place finish on a final score of 66.8.
“I am so happy with Livingstone,” said Bennett, who has been competing with the gelding for 13 years. “He had a solid dressage test, and one of the best cross-country rounds I have ever had on him.
“I swear, he keeps getting better with age. He came out this season better than ever, and you’d never know his age, he doesn’t look or act 17.”
Fellow Langley native Lisa Marie Fergusson and her nine-year-old Thoroughbred gelding Uni Griffon, tackled their first three-star advanced international horse trials with success, finishing in seventh position.
