New pony show launched during DressagePower Horse Show
The DressagePower Horse Show is today one of Sweden’s largest national indoor competitions, where the country’s top teams compete from Medium to Grand Prix level. Now we are taking the next step and launching a completely new initiative for pony riders – DressagePower Pony Freestyle.
After the esteemed pony show during Sweden International Horse Show concluded, we at DressagePower received a request from the Equestrian Federation to create a short course final. Through this, a new national arena for pony dressage in the short course – DressagePower Pony Freestyle – is now being created.
”We are doing this because pony riders are such an important part of the development of Swedish dressage. It is important to build from the bottom up and give these horses the opportunity to ride and practice in an arena like the DressagePower Horse Show”, says Kristian von Krusenstierna, one of the founders of DressagePower.
The competition gives teams the opportunity to qualify at several competitions around the country during the season. The eight highest-ranked ponies advance to the final, which will be held during the DressagePower Horse Show in Linköping on October 22-25, 2026.
”We look forward to now also being able to offer our Horse Show for pony riders. It is a championship-like arena with everything extra – a very fun and rewarding experience for our talented Swedish pony riders”, says Peter Härnstam, one of the founders of DressagePower.
