Great Britain's Matthew Sampson upon realising he has won the RBC Grand Prix of Canada, presented by Rolex, with Fabrice DN. "It's my first 5* Grand Prix win and for it to be at Spruce Meadows – it's a dream come true," Sampson said. 

Over two photo specials, we look back at some of the many highlights from last week's CSI5* Spruce Meadows 'National', through the magic lens of MacKenzie Clark.
