Every year a truly magical evening takes place in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. The Spruce Meadows Masters (Calgary, Alberta) hosts the Evening of the Horse on the Friday night of the Masters. This event has been growing each year with its unique twist to traditional show jumping, and attracts crowds by celebrating the horse in general.

This week I attended the Spruce Meadows’ Masters Show. As usual the calibre of riding was incredible – world class riders and horses. Here’s pictures of Eric Lamaze competing in one of the classes early in the week.
