Newberry, Florida – Young Canadian equestrian athlete Andrina Calder, 15, of Toronto, ON, got the new year off to a strong start by winning the Preliminary Young Rider division at the Canterbury Horse Trials in Newberry, FL.

The first event on the 2004 competition calendar for three day eventing, the Canterbury Horse Trials were held January 10 and 11, with riders competing in the dressage and show jumping phases on Saturday followed by Sunday’s demanding cross-country phase. Calder was off the lead by one point following the opening phase of dressage, but a penalty-free stadium jumping round later in the day moved her to the top of the standings.
