“Once you actually get to the show, it’s so many things also outside the arena that makes it so special. The place (Spruce Meadows) itself, I think, has a very special environment and kind of a chemistry that is here that you really feel once you put a step into the place. – Richard Vogel (GER) on returning to Spruce Meadows and how special it is.

“And it’s always very nice to come back. And I think the horses really like it too and have memories here that they keep and very quick recognize, oh, we’re back in Spruce.” – Richard Vogel (GER)
