Karen and the 14-year-old Oldenburg gelding were awarded 71.120 per cent that surpassed their previous personal best Grand Prix result of 70.840 per cent posted in Florida last January.
The score boosted their four-result average to 70.465 and moved the pair to third from fourth on Canada’s Olympic rankings behind Belinda Trussell on Anton with a big lead and 0.058 behind Megan Lane and Caravella.
