Calgary, Canada — September 09, 2026 — The $32,608 Telus Cup CSIO 5* – 1.50m opened international competition in the International Ring on Thursday, with 62 horse-and-rider combinations taking on a track designed by FEI course designer Leopoldo Palacios (VEN). The one-round competition rewarded both speed and precision, with the fastest clear round taking the victory.
