June 24, 2026 (Spruce Meadows) - The second half of the Spruce Meadows Summer Tournaments, starting with the ‘Pan American’, presented by Rolex, welcomes an exciting lineup of international talent, giving fans the chance to watch many of the world's best show jumpers compete in Calgary.
Earlier today, more than 250 horses successfully passed the mandatory FEI Veterinary Inspection, clearing the way for an exciting week of international competition at Spruce Meadows.
With athletes representing 23 nations ready to compete, the stage is set for world-class sport as horse-and-rider combinations battle for top honours and a place in the winner's circle.

Leading the field is current world No. 2 Richard Vogel (GER). The reigning European Champion arrives at Spruce Meadows as the live contender for the Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping after back-to-back victories at The Dutch Masters and CHIO Aachen. A strong performance this summer would keep him on track for a chance to complete the Grand Slam at the Spruce Meadows 'Masters' in September.
Fans will also see several athletes making their first Spruce Meadows appearances of the season, including Olympians Tiffany Foster (CAN), Daniel Bluman (ISR), and Cian O'Connor (IRL), all set to take on the International Ring.

The competition doesn't stop there. Eugenio Garza Perez (MEX), Daniel Coyle (IRL), Jos Verlooy (BEL), Robert Whitaker (GBR), Donald Whitaker (GBR), Sameh El Dahan (EGY), and many more are all looking to capture victories, earn valuable world ranking points, and build momentum heading into the rest of the season.
American star Lillie Keenan returns to Spruce Meadows looking to add another major title to her impressive résumé. Fans will remember her last International Ring Grand Prix victory came in the 2023 RBC Grand Prix of Canada, presented by Rolex, and she'll be aiming to once again ride into the winner's circle.
With Olympic medalists, world champions, and some of the sport's biggest names all competing, there's no better time to experience international show jumping in person. Come cheer on your favourite athletes, witness world-class competition, and see who will add their name to the list of Spruce Meadows champions.

The six-part documentary series FAULTLESS, narrated by three-time Emmy nominated actor Walton Goggins and produced in partnership with Rolex, follows the world’s leading show jumpers, their horses, and the drama that unfolds at the sport’s most iconic events.
Series Streaming NOW on The Roku Channel in the U.S. and Canada.
CALGARY / LOS ANGELES, June 10, 2026 — With a focus on precision, partnership, and performance, FAULTLESS captures the bond between rider and horse, revealing the discipline, resilience, and trust required to compete at the highest level of show jumping.
FAULTLESS takes viewers inside the biggest events of the 2025 season, including the prestigious Rolex Grand Slam of Show Jumping. Over the course of six episodes, riders and audiences travel the globe for competitions in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, England, Ireland, the United States, and Canada.
The series follows 14 of the world’s top riders, including Rolex Testimonees Richard Vogel, Steve Guerdat, Martin Fuchs and Sophie Hinners. Vogel is the reigning European Champion and currently ranked World No. 2. He is one of the sport’s fastest-rising stars alongside his exceptional horse, United Touch S. Guerdat and Fuchs, both Major winners with distinguished international careers, offer insight into life at the highest level of the sport. Hinners, one of show jumping’s brightest emerging talents, has established herself as a remarkably consistent force on the international circuit with top-10 finishes in each of the most recent Majors.
Additional featured riders include Canadian Olympian Tiffany Foster and American Lillie Keenan, both accomplished athletes whose careers are highlighted by championship performances and success on some of the sport’s biggest stages.
Showcasing the sport beyond the competition arena, FAULTLESS provides a compelling look at the personalities, partnerships, and dedication required to compete at the pinnacle of equestrian sport.
“Show jumping is decided in seconds, but what viewers rarely see is the years of preparation, trust, and sacrifice behind every round,” said Ben Asselin, Executive Producer, Brighter Frame Productions. “With FAULTLESS, we wanted to bring audiences closer to the equestrian world — the pressure, the partnerships, and the extraordinary athletes, both human and equine, who define the sport at its highest level.”
“The athletes we followed over more than a year are some of the most fearless, most determined, and most interesting I’ve covered in my career,” said Tom Forman, CEO of Terminal B TV. “And while their world can seem exclusive and even a little intimidating, their struggles and stories are both relatable and inspirational.”
FAULTLESS is produced by Brighter Frame Productions, Terminal B TV, and Spruce Meadows, in partnership with Rolex. The series is Executive Produced by Ben Asselin and Kyle Koss for Brighter Frame Productions, with Tom Forman and David Metzler for Terminal B TV. Dean Ollins is Executive Producer and Showrunner, and Jesse Kerns serves as Co-Executive Producer.
