CALGARY - Spruce Meadows is cancelling its summer show jumping series for a second straight year because of the pandemic.
The equestrian and soccer facility in Calgary draws dozens of the world s top riders to its annual summer and fall tournaments, but those competitions were wiped out in 2020.
The summer series is four tournaments over five weeks starting in June, and would have been important preparation for international riders for the Summer Olympics in Tokyo starting in July.
