Stuart Black, who had previously been named as the travelling reserve for the Pan Am Canadian Eventing team, has left training camp. Though there has been no official comment from Eventing Canada or Equine Canada, anonymous sources have confirmed that “personal problems” have caused the sudden departure.

Selena O’Hanlon and Foxwood High, one of the non-travelling alternates, have been named as his replacement and competed with the rest of the team in the 1.25m Open Jumper class at Angelstone Horse Show today. O’Hanlon successfully competed with Foxwood High at the Bromont CCI3*this past June where they were the leaders after the dressage phase with 46.70, they finished the competition in 6th

Stuart has represented the Canadian Equestrian Team multiple times, including the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and the 1998 FEI World Equestrian Games in Rome. Born a British citizen, Stuart moved to Canada as a teenager and became a Canadian. After marrying an American he changed nationalities, but has recently changed back to Canadian.
