Vanderhoof equestrian medals at BC Summer Games
Vanderhoof’s Aspen Craig returned from the BC Summer Games in Prince George with two new medals to add to her collection.
Craig and her mother retired Sully when COVID-19 derailed Craig’s plans to compete in the 2020 Summer Games. They brought Sully out of retirement to practice about two months ago when Craig learned she would compete this year. Craig looks up to her mother, Nicole Jackman-Craig, who is also a skilled dressage rider. The pair attended the games together and plan to let Sully return to a relaxed retirement after this last competition.
The final dressage test is freestyle, meaning Craig picked her own routine, after the first two were designed by judges. The skills of dressage are a bit like dance; while appearing effortless, judges want to see precision in each movement. Other equestrians on her team competed in different games, such as jumping. They also competed in eventing, which tests jumping, dressage and cross-country riding skills over a period of three days.
