Calgary, Canada – September 11, 2026 – The $108,695 Tourmaline Oil Cup CSIO 5* – 1.60m opened the competition for the TELUS Evening of the Horse, bringing 32 horse-and-rider combinations onto the iconic International Ring.
FEI Course Designer Leopoldo Palacios (VEN) set a challenging track featuring 13 obstacles and 16 jumping efforts, with athletes required to complete the first round within the time allowed of 81 seconds.
