Each of the 5 teams consisted of two event riders, a polo player and a showjumper. Team sponsors included Devoucoux, the premier French saddle maker, Farmvet/Cavalor, the source for animal health products and premium feeds, Guardian, a premium horse bedding, Omega Alpha, effective supplements through science, Smartpak, the innovator in equine supplements, and Windsor, a private residential sporting club.
The Devoucoux Team riders included two Pan Am Games Gold Medalists in Eventing, Hannah Burnett and Shannon Lilley as well as Jon Holling a successful event rider at many CCI **** events. Show jumping rider Candice King, a successful Grand Prix competitor for over two decades and Devoucoux sponsored rider for over ten years, and Doug Barnes, an experienced high goal polo player having competed internationally and founder of a premiere polo instructional facility. The team lead in the early rounds and finished a close third place in the final round. The riders agreed it was a fun night of competition and were enthusiastic about supporting this new type of class. Devoucoux has always had a strong commitment to supporting horse sports of all disciplines and riders at all levels and was pleased to be a part of this exciting night of equestrian competition. Several other Devoucoux sponsored riders also competed on other teams including Bruce Davidson (Team Farmvet/Cavalor), Sharon White (Team Windsor) and Boyd Martin and Jennie Brannigan (Team SmartPak).
