CEDAR VALLEY, Ontario, June 15, 2018–Megan Lane posted a personal best score to win the CDI3* Grand Prix Friday and placed third on Caravella, her 2016 Olympic mount, as qualifying nears a close for the World Equestrian Games in three months.

Megan and the 12-year-old KWPN gelding scored 72.435 per cent while she was awarded 70.065 per cent on Caravella, the 17-year-old KWPN mare that also competed at the 2014 World Games in Normandy and on the silver medal team at the 2015 Pan American Games.

Jill Irving rode Degas, a 16-year-old Hanoverian gelding to a score of 70.957 per cent for second place to make the pair among the top contenders for one of four places on the Canadian team for Tryon, North Carolina.

Brittany Fraser on All In, the Canadian combination ranked highest at No. 42 in the world, is not competing here, the second last CDI in Canada before the cutoff date of Aug. 13 for WEG qualifying scores.

Brittany on All In and Megan on Zodiac, owned by Deer Ridge Equestrian, have fulfilled qualifying criteria.

The Grand Prix Special that is required for qualifying is scheduled for Saturday.
