Coyle Triumphs in the Friends of the Meadows 1.50m

The Friends of the Meadows 1.50m competition got the ball rolling on the International Ring on Thursday morning during the ‘North American’ Tournament at Spruce Meadows. Ten horse/rider combinations jumped the first round clear, qualifying for the jump-off over FEI course designer Santiago Varela’s track.

Jordan Coyle (IRL) has had a fantastic summer at Spruce Meadows, securing his fifth victory of the season at the Calgary venue. This time he added to his resume of five-star victories when crossing the finish line clear in a time of 40.35 seconds aboard King Kannan GP ahead of Kyle King (USA), who also had a big day (see below) and Conor Swail (IRL). Canadian Kara Chad had one of just four jump-off clear rounds with Corinna Z to finish 4th.
