Eric Lamaze headlines Canadian squad heading to World Equestrian Games
Olympic gold medallist Eric Lamaze will be making his seventh consecutive appearance for Team Canada at the World Equestrian Games next month.
The 39 Canadians athletes who will compete in seven disciplines — dressage, endurance, eventing, jumping, para-dressage, reining and vaulting — in Mill Spring, N.C., from Sept. 11 to 23 were revealed Saturday.
Lamaze won gold in individual jumping and a silver in team jumping at the 2008 Games in Beijing, as well a bronze in team jumping at the 2016 Games in Rio.
The 50-year-old from Schomberg, Ont., will be atop 12-year-old chestnut gelding Chacco Kid, which he began riding in 2016, for the championship.
