Description
One of the world's great equestrian facilities is located 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. Competitions occur on six different grass rings, including the main venue that pulls in more than thirty thousand spectators for events. Four major competitions take place during the season, the biggest in mid-September. Event admission varies; visiting at other times is free.
