Where Equestrian Royalty Competes
The Spruce Meadows Masters isn’t just a horse show — it’s one of the crown jewels of the international show jumping circuit. Every September, Calgary becomes the stage for the sport’s top-ranked riders and their world-class horses. With events like the CPKC International Grand Prix and the legendary BMO Nations’ Cup, this tournament doesn’t just hand out ribbons — it hands out serious prize money and global bragging rights.
The Rolex Grand Slam Factor
Spruce Meadows isn’t standing alone. It’s a crucial leg of the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping, the sport’s ultimate test of consistency and excellence. That means the Masters aren’t just prestigious — they’re history-making. For fans, it’s the chance to witness athletes chasing one of the rarest titles in equestrian sport, with every jump carrying the weight of international stakes.
Beyond the Arena
Sure, the horses and riders are the stars, but the Masters experience is a festival in its own right. Over 70 vendors line the grounds with shopping that ranges from fine art to artisan crafts. Live music, gourmet dining, and family-friendly activities keep the energy buzzing long after the last jump. Whether you’re a lifelong equestrian fan or just looking for a vibrant Calgary weekend, the Masters is equal parts sport, culture, and celebration.
