 Photo by Cynthia Nadeau The journey to Ermelo has begun for Canada’s Beatrice Boucher and On Fire. The pair has arrived safely in Holland in preparation for the world young horse championships to be held September 4-8. After a very successful season competing in the FEI 5-year-old classes here in Canada and in Wellington, Florida, Boucher looks forward to showcasing this talented mare on the international stage.
Owned by Gilles Bergeron and Camille Carier Bergeron, On Fire is a 2019 KWPN by Indian Rock out of Jewel D. E. (Davino V.O.D x Belissimo M). With scores up to 90% achieved this summer, the mare is living up to the potential which Boucher says made her and Camille fall in love with her at first sight from a sales video at two years old. ”On Fire is just the sweetest little mare,” says Boucher. “She likes cuddles and loves to be petted; she is very people oriented. She was bred in the Netherlands so this trip is like going home for her. I’m pretty confident for this show. She has three above average gaits and I feel the test is easy for her. It will be more about dealing with the atmosphere. I’m very excited to feel it and just get the experience of having fun and enjoying being around the very best young horses in the world.”
