Erynn Ballard Named CAVALOR 'Athlete of the Month' for March
April 14, 2009 - Ottawa, Ontario – Jump Canada has named Erynn Ballard the CAVALOR 'Athlete of the Month' for March.
Ballard of Hillsburgh, ON, won the $20,000 Adequan 7 & 8 Year Old Young Jumper Final at the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, FL, on March 29. Riding Simply Ahorn, owned by Olivia Mickus, Ballard topped the prestigious class of 58 starters with a double clear performance in a jump-off time of 32.451 seconds.
Bred in Canada by Turtle Creek Farms, Simply Ahorn is an eight-year-old Canadian Warmblood gelding sired by the Dutch Warmblood stallion, Ahorn, and out of an Oldenburg dam, Simply Irresistable. Beginning his career as a four-year-old, Simply Ahorn has been carefully developed through the Canadian Young Horse Jumper Development Series.
“Simply Ahorn was geared up all season to compete in the Final by jumping in 1.40 m classes,” said Ballard, 28, who operates Looking Back Farm with her parents, David and Sandi Ballard. “The Final was the biggest young horse class of the circuit, and the victory was a really great win for this horse’s résumé.” “Cavalor is known world-wide, and it is very nice to have their support for Jump Canada programs,” she added.
