Bantrel has been a proud sponsor of the Spruce Meadows equestrian events
for the last fifteen years.
This year, Spruce Meadows celebrates its 35th anniversary. Every
National, World, and individual Olympic show jumping champion for the last
35 years has competed at Spruce Meadows; Canadian riders claimed the team
silver medal and a Canadian rider earned the individual gold medal in the
2008 Olympics in Beijing. Spruce Meadows events now reach a television
audience of over 820 million around the world. Bantrel has been an integral
part of the development and growth of this world-class sport facility.
At the National event on June 10, Canadian Olympic gold medalist Eric
Lamaze won the Bantrel Cup riding eight-year-old mare Coriana Van
Klapscheut. Bantrel President John McVey had the pleasure of presenting
the trophy to the respected athlete.
"Our involvement with Spruce Meadows is reflective of our strong
community connection in Calgary," says John, adding, "Our sponsorship also
provides excellent business networking and marketing opportunities for the
company."
The North American Show Jumping Tournament at Spruce Meadows runs July 7
to 11.
