Spruce Meadows, Calgary, Alberta, Canada – July 02, 2023 – The $40,000 Friends of the Meadows CSI 5* (1.50m) competition was the final 5* event of the ‘Pan American’, presented by Rolex. Twenty-seven competitors took on the jump off competition over the track designed by FEI Course Designer Anthony d’Ambrosio (USA). Competitors had to jump a clear first round in order to qualify for the jump off.
