Unbridled: the story of Spruce Meadows

This new series looks at the evolution of showjumping over the last forty years, and how Spruce Meadows, an iconic venue in Alberta, Canada, contributed to this evolution.

Spruce Meadows was opened in 1975 by the Southern family — a family with a dream to change the equestrian scene in Calgary at the time, and, against all the odds, the venue has grown today into a 500-acre complex that is one of the premier international showjumping centres in the world. Get first-hand insights from the family and competitors into how understanding of the complexity of showjumping has grown thanks to this iconic venue, a favourite with some of the most successful riders in the world.
