Following the overwhelming success of last weekend’s MARS Bromont CCI4* at the Bromont Olympic Equestrian Park, Sue Ockendon and her team ran a second major event this weekend focused on developing the next generation of FEI/international horses and riders.
Lauren Nicholson, as she puts it, has “been the bridesmaid” more times than she can count at the CCI4*L level, but despite her tenure in the sport, she’s never caught the win before. That changed on Sunday at MARS Bromont CCI, riding Ms. Jacqueline Mars’ Larcot Z to the victory thanks to a flawless double clear show jumping round.
Lauren Nicholson first brought Ms. Jacqueline Mars’ Larcot Z to MARS Bromont two years ago when her partnership with the 12-year-old Zanghersheide gelding was nearly brand new. Now, she’s here again to contest the CCI4*-L division and has kicked off her weekend in high spirits thanks to a leading dressage score of 27.1.
Competition at the 2025 MARS Bromont CCI is set to begin Thursday, June 5, following the acceptance of all but one presented horse in Wednesday’s First Horse Inspection at Parc Équestre Olympique de Bromont. The CCI2*-L, including the U25 CCI2*-L made up of several MARS Bromont Rising participants, CCI3*-L and CCI4*-L were inspected by each division’s respective Ground Jury members to assess fitness to compete.
Entries in the June 5-8 event feature athletes from four countries and include Olympians and the current world number-one ranked eventing rider, Boyd Martin.
