The Next Chapter

Change has always been part of the Spruce Meadows story, but never at the expense of its roots. In Episode 5 of From the Ground Up, Linda, Nancy and Ian explore how Spruce Meadows has evolved over the past 50 years. From the footing under the horses’ hooves to the growth of the property into a year-round sports and entertainment district. They reflect on innovation, tradition, and the balancing act of honouring the horse while welcoming new audiences through concerts, soccer, festivals, and community experiences. From turf management and historic jumps to restaurants, PetFest, and what comes next, this episode looks ahead, grounded firmly in what has always mattered most. The Next Chapter is about evolution done thoughtfully and a vision shaped for the next generation.

The People

The secret to 50 years isn’t a perfect plan. It’s the people. In Episode 4 of From the Ground Up, Linda, Nancy and Ian celebrate the culture that shaped Spruce Meadows from the beginning: warmth, hospitality, volunteerism, and relationships deep enough to span 50 years. They share stories from the early days - the sponsors dinners at home, the school tours that created lifelong ambassadors, the stables culture Albert Kley built from the ground up - and the wild, wonderful fun that came with building something from scratch. And then there’s the landmark moment: Queen Elizabeth II's visit, a sparkling Alberta summer day that became a defining chapter in Spruce Meadows history. This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt that Spruce Meadows isn’t just a venue; it’s a place you belong.

The Dream

Before it became a world-renowned equestrian venue, Spruce Meadows was just a bold idea—and a risky one at that. In this premiere episode of From the Ground Up, host Ian Allison sits down with Linda Southern-Heathcott and Nancy Southern to revisit the earliest days of Spruce Meadows: the skepticism, the setbacks, and the unwavering vision of their parents, Marg and Ron Southern. From buying land on the outskirts of Calgary to building a facility for a sport that barely existed in the region, this is the behind-the-scenes story of how Spruce Meadows went from an unlikely dream to a global stage.
