Michelle Ingham, riding her horse Fatal Attraction at a dressage show in Ottawa, Canada, placed first in both the individual and team competitions with scores of 64.2 and 63.8 percent respectively. This was Ingham's best showing prior to the North American Young Riders competition to be held near Chicago in a few weeks.

She will take part in a clinic for the Senior Canadian team this weekend sponsored by the Canadian Equestrian team in Toronto.

The first win was in the Junior Amateur Owner regular jumping class and the second in the Junior Power and Speed competition which was championship for the junior amateur division. Both competitions are Young Rider area qualifiers.

Pereech is based with Bermudian Carol Ann Blackman in New Jersey and is aiming to qualify for next year's North American Young Riders Championship.
