Jill Henselwood Named CAVALOR ‘Athlete of the Month’ for November
Ottawa, Ontario – Jill Henselwood of Oxford Mills, ON, was named the CAVALOR ‘Athlete of the Month’ for November by Jump Canada.
Jill Henselwood and her London Olympic mount George, a 10-year-old Hanoverian gelding owned by B Gingras Equestrian Limited, topped an international starting field of 22 entries to win the inaugural $100,000 Hickstead FEI World CupTM Grand Prix on November 7, 2012 at the CSI4*-W Royal Agricultural Winter Fair Horse Show in Toronto, ON.
Only six horses advanced to the jump-off over the technical course designed by 1976 Canadian Olympic silver medalist Michel Vaillancourt. With the advantage of being the last to go, Henselwood posted the fastest clear round for victory.
In addition to winning the prestigious World Cup Grand Prix, Henselwood was named the Leading Canadian Rider of the 2012 Royal Agricultural Winter Fair while George was named the Leading Canadian Horse.
“It was very rewarding to win the $100,000 Hickstead FEI World Cup with George on the same night that his owner, Brian Gingras, was honoured as the Jump Canada Owner of the Year,” said Henselwood, who also coached Jaclyn Duff to the Jump Canada Talent Squad Final Championship at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair. “Support from sponsors like Cavalor is integral to the success of our sport.”
