Agility at Sweden International Horse Show: Belgium vs. Sweden

Tuesday, 29 November 2022
CSI4* Sweden International Horse Show 2022

It was a lot of action when Malin Baryard-Johnsson, Henrik von Eckermann and Peder Fredricson – representing Sweden – battled it out in agility with the Belgian riders Nicola and Olivier Philippaerts, as well as Jerome Guery, at Sweden International Horse Show. In front of a full seated Friends Arena, the riders had to move outside their comfort zone and give their all to keep up with the motivated dogs.
