Peder Fredricson's little fighter H&M All In (Allan among friends) impressed everybody when he last year jumped to individual silver at the Olympic Games in Rio, following up on a great season that included double clear rounds in the five-star Nations Cups in St. Gallen, Rotterdam and Falsterbo as well as podium finishes in the Grand Prix of Liverpool, Braunschweig, Herning and Rome. H&M All In is by Kashmir van't Schuttershof x Andiamo Z, and is Belgian bred by Bas Huybregts. Early on in his international career, he was competed by Nicola Philippaerts before he was sold and Fredricson took over the reins at the end of 2013 and developed a highely successful partnership.
"You might believe that Allan always is that hot type that he is in the ring, but at home he is actually quite lazy," H&M All In's groom Malin Henlöv shares with World of Showjumping. "When riding him at home, he would just stop while walking thinking he should be allowed to do something funnier. At home, Allan has his box in the most quiet part of the stables next to his friend Zalouet. He loves to get attention, but he does not like to be stabled where is is busy during the day. Hacking out is one of hos favorite activities, and he loves when he gets to canter uphill. Allan also loves his field, where he likes to be for hours. He's a big candy eater, and does not really mind what it is – he'll take it. Allan does not like flags, warm-ups in tents and big TV-screens. However, as soon as he starts jumping he is fully focused on his job."
