A lot of good and bad happened this year and I chose to put a positive spin on the season by attending the Spruce Meadows Masters in Calgary, Alberta. It was a spectacular weekend of warm weather and great riding. No regrets.
A Great Celebration to attend even if it were in Rush Seating and photograph one of the premier equestiran events in the world .... held right here in Canada. My sincerest thanks for the honor of being present. I am told the Spruce Meadows Masters Tournament ranks second only to Aachen as one of the finest equestrian facilites in the world. I now have proof and couldn't agree more.It was as interesting to hear the proceedings from behind the gates as it was inside. As in all well organized affairs, the show must go on, and after Hickstead threw a shoe on his final line, there was a bit of hustling to have his foot taped so he could reappear for his final bow. Luckily a victory gallop was not needed as the winner got to ride in his own Mercedes Benz for the victory lap. My photos barely do justice to the event. Thank you all for allowing me the priviledge.
As the 2011 season draws to a close, it was a highlight for me to attend the Spruce Meadows Masters.
