Finally, John C Anderson (CAN) and Terrific reserved the third place position with 44.15 seconds.

“I trust him a lot,” explained Colborne on her inside turn to the triple bar, “We haven’t done a whole lot together so it is still quite a new partnership.”

Thursday nigth’s Cup began with a total of 42 entries and 15 continued to the jump-off. Werner Deeg designed the tough 15-effort course. “It was a great course tonight – both the first round and the jump off. I was a little slow in the beginning but then I heard my trainer [Kyle King] say, “get going” and then after that it all went smooth,” said Scapa.

“Jesse and Danielle [Heavy Metal Equipment] have been great supporters of Rocky Mountain Show Jumping and this is their first year at Royal West,” organizer, host and competitor of Royal West, John Anderson said. “I want everything to be right and it’s hard but for 50 seconds in the ring – I can be in my own space and focus. It is fun and my horse jumped super tonight so I was happy.”
