The 2017 PEDIGREE® Bromont CCI3* Three Day Event, The Todd Sandler Challenge kicked off Wednesday, June 7 with the first horse inspection at the Bromont Olympic Equestrian Park in the picturesque rolling hills of Bromont, Quebec.

87 CCI riders representing four countries presented their horse to the Ground Jury and FEI veterinary delegate for inspection on Wednesday afternoon. Woodlawn, Ontario's Matt Kidney and his Dutch Warmblood horse Fuzion were the only held and the horse passed on reinspection in the CCI*.

Dressage commences on Thursday morning at 9:00am with Boyd Martin on The Fonz Himself in the CCI* and Charles Campbell on Shannondale Nimbus in the CCI2*.

Bromont is expecting sunny weather today making for perfect weather to compete, enjoy a day in rural Quebec with the family or watch some top level dressage.

Bromont CCI, which has featured top competition for three decades, will be welcoming some of the best horse-and-rider combinations from all over North America in CCI*, CCI2*, CIC2* and CCI3* divisions. Bromont stands alone as the only venue in Canada which offers a CCI3*-level competition.

The Bromont Organizing Committee is thrilled to welcome the makers of PEDIGREE® as its new title sponsor, as well as major sponsors including the MARS® Bar and BUCKEYE® Nutrition.

Bromont CCI3* takes place near the charming village of Bromont, which is within easy driving distance of Montreal, Quebec and Burlington, Vermont. This scenic area offers great dining, shopping, entertainment, and golf options. The Bromont Olympic Equestrian Park, which hosted the equestrian events of the 1976 Montreal Olympic Games, has in recent years undergone massive upgrades and is considered one of the best in North America.

The PEDIGREE® Bromont CCI3* Three Day Event is proud to host The Todd Sandler Challenge in memory of an aspiring young event rider, Todd Sandler, who died tragically in a car accident while returning home from grooming and lending a helping hand to fellow Canadians at the 1999 Rolex Kentucky Three Day Event.

The PEDIGREE® Bromont CCI Three Day Event is made possible in part through a contribution from the Government of Canada.

Refresh Your Knowledge on Frangible Technology

Did you know that the United States has more frangible fences than any other country? Frangible technology has been around for nearly 100 years with the British Pin taking the honors as the first formal frangible device. The study of frangible fences has continued in the last decade, including the USEA Collapsible Fence Technology Study which was conducted through the University of Kentucky from 2016-2018.
