Future Adventures purchased Christiano at the end of 2018 and imported him to Canada as a talented grand prix prospect for Team Millar. Ian began campaigning Christiano in 2019 during the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, FL with a number of top results. The pair made their FEI debut that summer in Ottawa and had strong results including a top 10 placing in the $134,000 Brookstreet Grand Prix. The pair went on to have strong placings at Angelstone Tournaments and the Caledon Equestrian Park to finish up the year.
