Not too familiar with the sport, so maybe @dcrocan help expand on how this result ranks.

It is right up there with the best Canadian results of the season. Very respectable finishing score and a bit of a breakthrough for Vermont.

 

Although, saying that, Dana Cooke & Mississippi have been the Canadian shooting stars of the year so far.

Thanks! Where do you rank them in terms of worldwide competition? Do you think these two can help a Canadian team qualify for Paris at the 2022 FEI Eventing World Championships?

Don't know too much about this sport, @dcro is this a good result for Canadian Equestrian? Or is it a lower-level competition, and this (or more) was to be expected?
