Ottawa, Ontario — Jump Canada has named Angela Covert-Lawrence the CAVALOR ‘Athlete of the Month’ for May.

Covert-Lawrence had a successful two weeks of competition at the Pépinière and St-Lazare Horse Shows held in her hometown of St. Lazare, QC.  Riding The Eastwood Group’s Utan, an eight-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding sired by Burggraaf, Covert-Lawrence topped a 26-horse starting field to win the $25,000 Grand Prix of St. Lazare on May 30.  One week earlier, the pair placed second in the $10,000 Henry Equestrian Insurance Brokers Grand Prix.

“This was Utan’s first Grand Prix victory,” said Covert-Lawrence who imported the horse exactly one year earlier from Europe with the help of Belgian-based business partner, Koen Aerts.  “Utan is one of the most talented horses I have ever ridden, and with this first victory, he has confirmed himself as a Grand Prix contender.”

As the CAVALOR ‘Athlete of the Month’ for May, Covert-Lawrence receives a gift certificate from title sponsor CAVALOR Inc.

“It is wonderful that Cavalor has continued to support the Jump Canada ‘Athlete of the Month’ program over the past few years,” said Covert-Lawrence.  “The Cavalor products have been a fantastic addition to the North American market.”
