A whopping 1.70 metre course greeted the world's best horse and riding combinations Canada's famous Spruce Meadows complex for the $2.5 million USD Rolex Grand Prix.
Willis and Blue Movie posted a clear opening round - only four combinations managed this - before the jump off.
In the jump off, Willis and 'Carrots' knocked two rails, earning them eight faults, but it still meant the combination landed fourth spot.
Naturally, Willis was ecstatic with his superstar mare.
