What an marvelous day it was! Each and every competitor showed their sportsmanship and competed to their fullest. The final jump-off was the most exciting I have had the fortune to see yet at Spruce Meadows.

A great week spent watching one of my favourite sporting events. Spruce Meadows is a beautiful facility and a lot larger than I expected. In addition to the show jumping, we spent time exploring exhibits, listening to music, shopping and selecting from the wide variety of food vendors.
The weather was spectacular, which I've heard isn't always the case for the Masters. Saturday and Sunday saw record breaking, enthusiastic crowds.

Beautiful venue; peaceful even with 60,000 people. Art display was oddly laid out this year. Would like more art for sale but Marketplace was great. We had seats in the West grandstand for $30 a person - we chose the front row to accommodate our long legs as the rows are narrow. Would ask the staff to monitor tickets better - we had a constant stream of people having to remove poachers from their seats; very distracting. We brought a lunch but the food wasn't outrageously priced. Splurged on a $4. Purdy's ice cream bar. The best deal in town is the free shuttle from the LRT station - great drivers, festive atmosphere, and the bus gets priority lanes.

It was a great event! So much to do, so much going on, and of course the show was great! The only recommendation I would have is, if possible, sit in the "E" section, as the seats have backs, and in the C section we were in it was bleachers really close together!

Spruce Meadows had a record breaking crowd Sunday and I can see why, with beautiful sunny weather, lots of food and fun, great shopping and even better horses competing! The International Ring was spectacular to watch with the excellent course design. The horses really went all out.

This was a great outing, the weather was outstanding and the event itself was top noitch. We used the shuttle bus option and found it very convenient and surprizingly fast considering there was a record 67,000 at Spruce Meadows that day.

If you enjoy horses and sporting competitions you'll love this. They are competitive and are fun to watch. The food there is great and there are so many different things to do and see if makes it all the more fun for you and your family. There are shop's and market's, pony rides, and parade's so you are amused the whole time you are there. I will definetly be going next year!

I always enjoy days spent at Spruce Meadows watching the competitions, browsing the various buildings, enjoying the entertainment and the variety of foods available.
I would like to see more "Order Of Go Sheets" available & more visible throughout the site. I wasted time trying to locate a sheet and finally found the last one at one building.

Spruce Meadows amazes me every time I attends it, the horse jumping is a real enjoyment to watch. the ability of the horse and rider working together is a pleasure to see, The organization of the events is second to none, the fireworks display is the best I have ever wittnessed anywhere, and the upkeep of the grounds makes it a real pleasure to go to, everything is so well groomed and flower pots are bueatiful and so fresh looking. You can not forget the cost, There isn't anyplace you can go and enjoy a whole day of entertainment for so little expence. When you leave the parking lot with the hundreds of other velicles it is amazing how little cogestion there is. I make it a yearly event to visit Spruce Meadow and hopfully will be able to for years to come, Also am glad to see Spruce Meadows is presenting other Venues, like the Cattle shows. What a Great Place to go and enjoy them as well.

The setting was magnificent, the atmosphere electric-a truly great event, fitting for the final appearance of a true champion -Judgment, in the class of Big Ben.
Kudos to all of the staff and volunteers at Spruce Meadows for hosting a truly world class event and congratulations for attracting a record breaking crowd of 67K.

The Masters at Spruce Meadows was brilliant. The talent of the riders and the athleticism of the horses was evident. It was really something to see the great Canadian riders, the ones who are legendary, jump live! I loved how the crowd honored each great rider with applause, no matter what team was competing. A highlight for me was seeing the great Judgement up close in his stall, and then again as he trotted from the stable! What a beautiful animal! And when Spruce Meadows had Beezie Madden rode Judgement out for his retirement ceremony, I felt my heart swell in my chest, to see such an outstanding horse so respected and loved. I enjoyed eating in Mexico.. they served great strawberry margaritas and burritos. The market was enjoyable and I walked away with a few goodies. Overall it was a wonderful experience and I can't wait to go back next year!

Record setting crowd on this day in excess of 67000 nice and warm and not a cloud in the sky. Line ups ahere a littlle long but to be expected. We are booking to go back next year .
