Show Jumping Highlights:
Friday, Sept. 11
The TELUS Evening of the Horse features the ATCO Electric Six Bar, Germany’s Celle Stallions and fireworks set to live music by His Majesty’s Band of the Welsh Guards. Last year, two combinations cleared nearly seven feet, breaking a 21-year Spruce Meadows record.
Saturday, Sept. 12
Saturday swaps individual glory for team colours in the BMO Nations’ Cup, as the world’s best represent their nations. Cheer for your section’s nation and wear your brightest national colours for a chance at $10,000 in prizes.

The $5 million CPKC ‘International’, presented by Rolex, is the richest Grand Prix in show jumping. A win would make Germany’s Richard Vogel only the second rider ever to complete the Rolex Grand Slam.
