The championship riders are riding DressagePower

Summer time also means championships – and we have been following our talented young riders at both the National Championships and the European Championships over the past few weeks. Did you know that virtually all the riders have also been riding, and many are planning to ride, our competitions? Here is a summary!

In the Swedish team for young riders, Ellen Stymne, Emma Kåberg, Mary-Sophie Haid Bondergaard and Maja Hermansson rode. The team finished in sixth place (out of a total of 11 countries). All of the team has been riding on DressagePower! Moreover, all of them have also finished in the top three places.

Mary-Sophie Haid Bondergaard has won both the DressagePower Junior Trophy and the StudioS19 Young Rider Trophy. She has also ridden the Jackson Hole Originals Grand Prix.
Maja Hermansson won our junior competition in 2023, together with the same horse she now rode at the European Championships.
Ellen Stymne is also a recurring name at the DressagePower Horse Show! She has competed in both the Junior Trophy and the StudioS19 Young Rider Trophy. This year she is entered with two horses for our young rider competition. She was also one of the teams that rode for Jessica von Bredow-Werndl during our MasterClass with her in 2024.
Emma Kårberg is the latest winner in the StudioS19 Young Rider Trophy!

In the Swedish U25 team, Cecilia Bergåkra, Siri Ehrnroot, Hedda Thunberg and Ellen Hedbys rode. The team also finished in sixth place after fine rides from our Swedish riders. Of course, several of them have also ridden with DressagePower!

Cecilia Bergåkra has won the StudioS19 Young Rider Trophy and placed in the Jackson Hole Originals Grand Prix.
Siri Ehrnroot won the DressagePower Junior Trophy during the pandemic in 2020!
We have also seen Ellen Hedby ride during our competitions.

 During the Nordic Baltic Championships, Sweden achieved success and won several gold medals, both individually and as a team. In the junior team, Vida Nordling rode Pettersson, Ronja Kardos, Wilma Bornhager and Ebba Lindholm. Wilma won the DressagePower Junior Trophy last year, and we have also seen Ebba compete before.

The U25 team took home a gold medal (despite only having three riders!). There we saw Filippa Grönström, Maxime Kjellvertz and Linnéa Holmgren riding. Linnea Holmgren, who won no less than three gold medals at the National Championships, has also won the gold medal in StudioS19 Young Rider.

In the team for young riders, Ebba Johansson, Stella Hoff and Tove Slåtteby rode. Tove, who won the individual silver medal, will again compete in the StudioS19 Young Rider Trophy this year. A competition that Stella Hoff has also competed in before.

Thanks to those who make a difference

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all our partners who are making a difference in Swedish equestrian sport. Thanks to them, we are able to organize the DressagePower Horse Show and thereby help our Swedish riders develop. This helps us see more Swedish success at international championships.
