Ross shines in California

Stephanie Ross’ first international horse show was a huge success as the Langley rider returned from California with three first place medals.

Ross, 17, who has cerebral palsy, competed at the Dressage Affair in Del Mar, Calif. aboard her Hanoverian warmblood, Wiese, last week.

She also helped Canada to the team gold medal.

Ross, a Grade 3 rider — she can walk without support but has minimal use of her limbs — is working towards qualifying for the London 2012 Paralympic Games.
