Spruce Meadows

One of the world's top equestrian facilities is placed in the rolling ranch lands just south of Calgary's city limits. Built and maintained by the Southern family, this sprawling site is now home to some of the world's top show-jumping events. The facilities are also a year-round attraction for horse-lovers and aspiring competitive riders. Competition occurs on six different grass rings, including the main venue that pulls in more than 30,000 spectators for events. Not bad huh?
