Devon, PA (September 22, 2004) – Two Canadian and two US teams of three horse and rider each have been invited to participate in a Can Am Challenge at the 30th annual Dressage at Devon Horse Show. The competition is in the Prix St Georges/Intermediaire I division.

Canada’s EH? Team includes Olympian Ashley Holzer with Gambol, and Tom Dvorak with two mounts, Beaumarchais and West Side Lady. On Canada’s Mapleleaf Team are Stephanie Jeffrey with Belcanto, Jessica Costello with Litmanen and Andrea Bresee with Raffles.
