Spruce Meadows, The Place Where The Worlds Best Show Jumping Is Showcased





Spruce Meadows, now a world class facility, had it's humble beginnings in 1976 when it held it's first tournament and had probably less than 50 spectators.



But look at it now!

Over 70 countries around the world, and a television audience of around 700 million will benefit every year from over 25 televised programs that originate here.

At the same time attendance at the major events now runs up to 50.000 spectators per day.

The 300 acres that hold this fabulous facility is located on the south side of Calgary on Spruce-Meadows-Trail ( a portion of Highway 22X )and welcomes visitors every day of the year.

There are some 300 permanent horse stalls and during special events and tournaments they expand this with 400 temporary stalls to hold 700 horses and more as needed.

As the shows go on, there is also a real international flavor added by providing the many exhibits representing a variety of countries around the world.

You can easily spend an entire day by just visiting all the added attractions.

While show jumping is the primary activity, Spruce Meadows now has the capability to hold large conventions and can cater to all kinds of special events, from weddings to corporate meetings and conventions.

Of course there is an ongoing breeding program as well, and the general public is welcomed to participate in the annual

Name The Foal contest

which is a wonderfull way to engage the horse jumping enthusiasts.

Throughout the year and on special occasions you can have an interesting shopping experience at Spruce Meadows.

However, today's technology opens up another shopping experience that you will want to be a part of.

We all know that online shopping is accelerating at an enormous pace.

In the USA alone sales are expected to top $200 Billion in 2007!

Just about anyone you know is buying something on line these days.

Does it not make sense to buy on your own mall with millions of products in well over 1000 stores?

Of course it does!....and look at the benefits you get:

1) You get rebates on all your purchases.

2) You also help a child in need while shopping.

3) You'll never pay a cent....EVER

There is nothing to loose and rebates to be received on your own family purchases, while you are supporting a very worthwhile charity.

Be sure to check this out right away.
