Equestrian Kyle King wins double victory after gaining Canadian citizenship

Equestrian rider Kyle King, a California native residing in Langley, British Columbia, celebrated obtaining Canadian citizenship with two consecutive competition victories.

After taking his citizenship oath at Spruce Meadows on June 12, King made his official competitive debut for Canada. On Saturday at the Thunderbird Show Park in Langley, he secured back-to-back wins at the Summer Fort Welcome. He won the JustWorld International winning round and the $75,000 Steel-Craft Doors CSI3* Grand Prix riding Replay Touch van de Stapelheyde, finishing with a time of 38.10 seconds.

King attributed the success to his mount, a Belgian Warmblood he refers to as “Hyde,” despite initial skepticism regarding the horse's unconventional style and technique.
