Evi Strasser and Quantum Tyme Compete at CDI-W London

December 30, 2008

Ottawa, ON --- Canadian Olympian Evi Strasser enjoyed top scores among some of the world's best competitors at the FEI World Cup Qualifier held at the prestigious Olympia London International Horse Show December 16–18 in London, Great Britain.

In front of a sold out crowd in the impressive Olympia arena, Strasser of Sainte-Adele, QC, rode her longtime partner Quantum Tyme, a 13-year-old Oldenburg gelding (Quattro x Argentinius), to an 11th place finish in the Grand Prix Freestyle, scoring 69.350% and achieving scores above 70% from FEI O judges Wim Ernes and Katrina Wuest.

The pair also scored 64.292% in the Grand Prix, for 12th place out of 16.

“Olympia London International Horse Show is one of my favorite competitions. The stadium is really nice to ride in, and the crowd is always super,” noted Strasser, who is currently ranked sixth in the competitive Western European World Cup League. “Quantum was in great form, even so I made a mistake in the one tempis, which we can't afford. In the Freestyle he went the best I have ever felt him go. It was just amazing to see how he is working with such ease at these high movements. He is so happy to show himself off. I'm very fortunate to have such a great horse.”

The international judging panel included Beatrice Buerchler (FEI O—SUI), Wim Ernes (FEI O—NED), Isabelle Judet (FEI O—FRA), Katrina Wuest (FEI O—GER) and Jennie Loriston-Clarke (FEI I—GBR) for both the Grand Prix and the Grand Prix Freestyle.
