A guard's horse behind the scenes at Spruce Meadows.
Ask any show jumping rider what ring they would like most to ride in and the answer will be pretty much unanimous – the International Ring at Spruce Meadows. Truly the destination of the best of the best, the International Ring has seen more than its fair share of world champions and new world records. It is known in the industry as the most revered competition ground… ever.
So I was understandably thrilled when the opportunity to go behind the scenes in the International Ring and its warm up area during this September’s Masters Tournament. Escorted by members of the media staff and a few guards, I was able to get back where few non-competitors have tread and capture some truly amazing images of the best riders in the world leaving the ring. The atmosphere was competitive and tense, yet also surprisingly mellow as horses and riders did their jobs.
