Here Sweden's upcoming championship horses meet!
What do Marina Mattson, Carl Hedin and Stefan Jansson have in common? A lot, of course – but they all have been winners. DressagePower Future Stars. The competition is designed to elevate and prepare our future dressage stars for future championships and provide the necessary conditions to reach the absolute top.
DressagePower Future Stars, this year with Kersö Equestrian As the main partner, it was created to fill the gap between the annual finals and the Grand Prix and is aimed at horses aged 7-9 years. In the first round of the competition it was held during the Stockholm International Horse Show, where Malin Rinné and Qurinell were the winners. Subsequently, the concept has evolved and now Future Stars is one of the most talked-about competitions during the DressagePower Horse Show – Sweden’s most prestigious dressage competition which takes place in Linköping from October 26-29.
The team qualifies for the semifinals during competitions around the country throughout the year. The top 20 then meet in a thrilling semifinal on Saturday, October 28th. From there, the eight best advance to an exciting Kür final with everything on the line! There are live DJs, spotlights, and a shrouded harness in black-as-coal fabric. It’s not an arena for the modest, in other words!
This year we see many exciting names joining the competition. Among others, there is Lina Dolk with Just on Time. Lina Dolk has a prominent rider who has, among other things, won the European Under 25 team bronze in the team competition and inspires riders around the country daily, especially through her Instagram where she currently has over 55,000 followers. We also see last year’s Future Stars winner Sofie Lexner alongside Kavira, who won both the six-year-old and seven-year-old finals in Falsterbo.
Perhaps Clara Espinosa can also qualify for the semifinals with her Jerome ES? Many of you are probably familiar with Clara from her rather impressive performance during the Lövsta Future Challenge 2012. Together with Welton, the team was a reserve but managed to secure a spot at the last minute – and took home the victory!
We also see Charlotte Esping, Cornelia T Pettersson, Filippa Norrman along with several exciting teams joining the competition. See the full list HERE.
