With two consecutive clear rounds today, Keean White easily won the silver medal in the individual Championships show jumping competition at the 2003 F.E.I. North American Young Riders' Championships (NAYRC), in Bromont, QC.

After five rounds of competition over three days, White of Cambridge, ON, finished with only 5.37 faults aboard Libidou.
