Jill Henselwood Named CAVALOR 'Athlete of the Month' for May

June 6, 2008

Ottawa, ON --- Jump Canada has named Jill Henselwood the CAVALOR 'Athlete of the Month' for May.

Henselwood of Oxford Mills, ON, won the 150,000 Euro King’s Cup Grand Prix held Sunday, May 18, at CSIO5* Madrid, Spain. From the 53-horse starting field, Henselwood and Special Ed, a 14-year-old Oldenburg gelding owned by Juniper Farms, produced double clear rounds in the fastest jump-off time, 33.24 seconds, despite the deteriorating footing caused by rainy conditions.

In addition to winning the Grand Prix in Madrid, Henselwood placed fourth in the Cepsa Trophy class with Special Ed and fifth in the Cervezas Mahou Trophy class aboard Black Ice, owned by Stacie B. Ryan and Juniper Farms.

Also in May, Henselwood and Special Ed were members of Canada’s second-placed team in the Nations’ Cup held at CSIO5* Lummen, Belgium, making them the obvious choice for the CAVALOR ‘Athlete of the Month’ title.

“We love the CAVALOR products that we use, and I am honoured to be named as the CAVALOR 'Athlete of the Month' for May,” said Henselwood, who, riding Special Ed, won Individual Gold and Team Silver Medals at the 2007 Pan American Games. “It is a privilege to have a sponsor like CAVALOR associated with Jump Canada.”

As the CAVALOR 'Athlete of the Month' for May, Henselwood receives a gift certificate from the title sponsor CAVALOR Canada.
