July 3, 2009

Ottawa, Ontario --- Canadian Olympian Evi Strasser earned admirable results at the CDI 3* Achleiten, held June 11–14, 2009, in Austria.

Strasser, from Sainte-Adèle, QC, contested the Grand Prix qualifier for Freestyle class paired with her longtime partner Quantum Tyme, a 14-year-old Oldenburg gelding (Quattro x Argentinius).

They started the competition in the Grand Prix class obtaining an eighth place finish with a score of 64.600% before moving to the Grand Prix Freestyle where a score of 68.250% was achieved for another solid sixth place finish.

In the Grand Prix qualifier for Special, Strasser rode her young up-and-coming international horse Action Tyme, a nine-year-old Oldenburg stallion (Aktuell x Aleksander), to a 12th place finish. The duo then went on to finish in 11th place in the Grand Prix Special.

“I am very thrilled with Action Tyme,” said Strasser. “This was his first Grand Prix test. We made some mistakes, but his piaffe passage tour was fantastic.”
