Spruce Meadows, Calgary, Alberta, Canada – July 05, 2023 – FEI-level competition began early Wednesday at Spruce Meadows as over 45 competitors stepped into the International Ring to challenge the $5,000 Stud Farm CSI 2* (1.45m) one-round competition. This competition was the first of two this week where competitors could earn their ticket into Saturday’s $80,000 Akita Drilling Winning Round.

Aboard Count Me In, Swail soared through the finish line, clear, in a time of 67.89 seconds to claim the win. Swail also picked up the third place on his other mount Nadal Hero & DB. Fellow Irishman Darragh Kenny (IRL) split those placing to finish second.
