Paul Halpern Named CAVALOR 'Athlete of the Month' for January

February 8, 2008

Ottawa, ON --- Jump Canada has named Paul Halpern the CAVALOR 'Athlete of the Month' for January for his victory in the $25,000 GRAND PRIX at HITS Ocala on January 27, 2008, at HITS Post Time Farm in Ocala, Florida.

Halpern of Russell, ON, was one of two riders to advance to the jump-off in the first grand prix of the 2008 season at HITS Ocala. Riding Rolls Royce, Rebecca Irvine’s 10-year-old Dutch Warmblood mare sired by Concorde, Halpern posted a fast jump-off time of 43.96 seconds with four faults. American Aaron Vale riding his own Sinatra had two rails down in the jump-off and finished in second.

“We came to Florida early to practice and our effort has paid off, and we proved it in the ring,” said Halpern, who has trained with Vale in the past. “I am really pleased to be named the CAVALOR Athlete of the Month by Jump Canada. CAVALOR has great products.”

Halpern, who has 20 horses and several students in Florida, will compete at HITS Ocala until April. With Rolls Royce, Halpern will contest the 2008 Canadian League World Cup Qualifying competitions in eastern Canada.

As the CAVALOR 'Athlete of the Month' for January, Halpern receives a gift certificate from the title sponsor CAVALOR Canada.
