June 27, 2023 (Spruce Meadows) - The second half of the Spruce Meadows Summer Tournament season starts tomorrow with the ‘Pan American’ CSI5*/2*, presented by Rolex. Over 300 horses partook in today’s FEI Veterinary Inspection ahead of the week’s competitions.

Throughout the week riders will be looking to qualify for Saturday’s Pan American Cup, presented by Rolex (5* tour athletes) and Sunday’s West Canadian Cup, presented by WCD (2* tour athletes). Meadows on the Green is the feature ring for this week and has not seen equine athletes since 2019. Now the home of professional football club, Cavalry FC, it will welcome some of the world’s to show jumpers to the turf.

With lots of seating around the ring, fans can watch their favourite athletes take on courses designed by FEI Course Designer Gregory Bodo (FRA). Bodo has been named as one of the designers that will work on the courses for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
