Calgary, United States – June 15, 2025 – The final competition of the ‘National’ CSI 5*, presented by Rolex at Spruce Meadows belonged to Daniel Coyle (IRL). FEI Course Designer Olaf Petersen Jr. (GER) put forth a track tested the athletes with only five jumping clear in round one and qualifying for the jump off of the $62,950 ATB Cup CSI 5*.

The Irish have been a force all season long, and they would cap off the first two weeks of tournaments with another victory. Coyle, aboard the 15 year-old gelding Farrel, were the only double clear of the competition crossing the jump off finish line in a time of 43.89 seconds.

“I’ve ridden every single ride and every single ring on every stage of a horse from 5 to 15, 16, (years) whatever. And it has really, really improved me as a rider. The time allowed (is) different here, the speeds different here. The jumps are different here. So you got to adapt to that. And when I look back at the first year I was here, lots of mistakes were made and probably ones that stuck with me forever. And I’ve learned a lot here. And I ain’t finished.” – Daniel Coyle (IRL) reflects on his time at Spruce Meadows and how it’s made him a better rider.
