Canadian Show Jumping Team Fifth In BMO Nations’ Cup
Calgary, AB, Sept. 8, 2024 – The Canadian Show Jumping Team finished fifth in the BMO Nations’ Cup on Saturday, Sept. 7, at the CSIO5* Spruce Meadows ‘Masters’ tour- nament in Calgary, AB. In its 49th year, the event drew a huge and enthusi- astic crowd to the iconic International Ring to
watch seven nations contest the cup on a scorching end-of-summer day. As with many Nations Cup competi-
tions, the winner was not decided until the very last competitor. When the competition concluded with just the third double clear of the day, it was defending champions Ire- land in second place behind winning team Germany and the 2024 Olympic Champi- ons Great Britain in third. Longtime Spruce Meadows designer
Leopoldo Palacios’ course proved challeng- ing with the Paris 2024 Champs-Élysées double combination in the shade (4ab) and the open water jump (8) playing pivotal roles in the first round and the Dutch bicy- cle (9) and the final fence the Canada planks (12) catching many combinations.

In
addition to returning clas- sics like the family-friendly Royal Rodeo presented by Ontario Ford Dealers and Global Pet Foods Super- Dogs, the 2024 event will welcome a number of new and refreshed culinary expe- riences. A highlight of this
year’s food programming is The Chef’s Table, presented by Milk, offering daily cooking classes throughout the Fair. For only $20, par- ticipants will learn tips and
tricks from the best in the business - and will prepare and enjoy a delicious meal. For a more elevated experi- ence, The Royal is launch- ing an all-new Dinner Series, with four exclusive dinners and one brunch throughout the Fair. The Dinner Series offers guests a multi-course dining expe- rience complete with ele- vated wine pairings and curated cocktails to accom- pany the expertly crafted
menu by top chefs focusing on sustainability, seasonal- ity, and local food produc- ers. Dinner series chefs include Michael Bonacini of Oliver & Bonacini, Albert Ponzo of The Royal Edwin County Farms, Coulson Armstong of Prime Seafood Palace, Jason Bangerter of Langdon Hall and Donna Dooher of Mildred’s Temple Kitchen. Helping share the story
of The Royal are Dawson
and Pacey, the two alpacas named the 2024 Royal Am- bassadors. The two charis- matic alpacas hail from All In Alpacas, owned by Derek and Lindsay Stoltz and their teenage daughters in Rock- wood, Ontario. The Stolz family’s connection to farm- ing runs deep; Lindsay Stoltz chaired the inaugural “Royal Alpaca Show” at The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in 2023. Dawson and Pacey
will make special appear- ances in the lead-up to the 2024 Fair, and welcome guests on-site throughout the 10-day event. “This is the 102nd edi-
