August 14, 2025

Ottawa, Ontario — Jump Canada has named Mario Deslauriers the CAVALOR ‘Athlete of the Month’ for July.

Deslauriers of Bromont, QC, kicked off the month of July with a second place finish, on July 6, in the $175,000 Chrysler Classic Derby at the Spruce Meadows North American Tournament riding Paradigm, his 14-year-old Belgian Warmblood gelding.

On July 27, at the 33rd edition of the International Bromont, presented by CN, Deslauriers won the $125,000 CN Grand Prix. Besting a field of 29 starters to win the class, Deslauriers posted the fastest double clear effort riding Obelix R, a 12-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding owned by Lisa T. Silverman.

“I had two very good ribbons in July, and it is always nice to end Spruce Meadows on a good note in preparation for the ‘Masters’ in September,” said Deslauriers. “It is great to have CAVALOR involved with Jump Canada. They have fantastic products, and it nice to be able to purchase them in North America.”

As the CAVALOR ‘Athlete of the Month’ for July, Deslauriers receives a gift certificate from the title sponsor CAVALOR Canada.
