Christilot Hanson Boylen to Represent Canada at Aachen CDIO3*

Ottawa, ON --- Canada will be represented by Christilot Hanson Boylen at the upcoming Aachen CDIO3* being held August 23-28 in Germany.

Upon invitation by the Aachen CDIO3* organizing committee, Canada was asked to send two applications for consideration, of which the organizing committee accepted Boylen.

Boylen, who has represented Canada at Olympic Games, Pan American Games and World Championships, will be competing in the Grand Prix division of the CDIO3* with Gachino. Boylen has had much European success this year with the 11-year-old black Baden Württenberg gelding Gachino (Gardez x Chinatown), who is owned by Mrs. Hermosilla.

Boylen will also be competing in the small tour with Don Valentino, a 10-year-old Hanoverian owned by Alec Murray and Compositor Investments Inc. of Canada. Don Valentino’s accomplishments this year include strong placings at the CDI3* in Hagen, Germany.

Considered one of the most prestigious dressage shows world-wide, the Aachen CDIO3* will be held at the same facilities where the World Equestrian Games are to take place in 2006.

Dressage Canada, as a committee of Equine Canada, is the National governing body for Dressage in Canada.
