They even bested last week鈥檚 victors of the $150,000 Longines FEI Jumping World Cup Vancouver, Conor Swail and Vital Chance de la Roque, who took second. For a second day in a row, Lauren Crooks and Louisiana van de Moortelshoeve finished third.

鈥漇ince I went later in the jump-off, I did watch quite a few [other riders] go, and I decided that I was going to do eight [strides between the first two fences] like everybody else,鈥� Keith explained. 鈥淔rom there, I just thought I was going to keep the turns tight and give [Havana] room at the verticals. I thought she was fabulous. She did everything I asked of her.鈥�

Keith works alongside her mother Cheryl at Keepsake Farms in Aldergrove, where Keith rides, trains and coaches.

When she鈥檚 competing with Havana, she also receives help from fellow Canadian show jumper, Darrin Dlin.

With Dlin鈥檚 guidance, horse and rider have become forces at the U25 level, and they made their CSI3* (Concours de Saut International, the ranking system for the equestrian competition show jumping) debut in August.

Keith has been developing her mount since Havana was just four years old, and the two have climbed the ranks together.

鈥淭his is by far the biggest win of my career,鈥� Keith said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 very special to have developed Havana to where she is now. She just keeps showing me that she can be better and better. I just can鈥檛 wait for the things to come.鈥�
