San Juan Capistrano, CA – Following a successful year in 2023, Blenheim EquiSports is proud to announce a continued partnership with ATCO for 2024.

ATCO is a strong supporter of equestrian events across the globe, including a major sponsor of the world-renowned Spruce Meadows facility in Alberta and its premier competitions.

This year, ATCO’s sponsorship of Blenheim EquiSports will be highlighted by the $117,000 CSI3* ATCO Grand Prix, to be held Saturday, May 11, during the San Juan Capistrano International CSI3* and coinciding with a special Mother’s Day brunch. The grand prix will take place on the Oaks International Grass Grand Prix Field, where, last spring, the U.S. team jumped to a gold-medal finish in the FEI Jumping Nations Cup USA.

The $117,000 CSI3* ATCO Grand Prix will mark the culmination of three weeks of FEI competition at the Blenheim spring shows, including the following:

  • Blenheim Spring Classic 1 CSI2* – April 3-7, 2024
  • Blenheim Spring Classic 2 CSI3* – April 10-14, 2024
  • San Juan Capistrano International CSI3* – May 8-12, 2024

  • the opportunity to compete two horses in each grand prix if there are less than 60 declared athletes,
  • two $32,000 CSI2* Ranking Group D competitions and the $62,500 CSI2* Ranking Group C Grand Prix during the Blenheim Spring Classic 1,
