Sweden's two formidable duos Henrik von Eckermann & King Edward and Peder Fredricson & Catch Me Not S had to settle for second and third when the Netherland's 24-year-old Lars Kersten and his home-bred Hallilea stole the show at the fourteenth and final leg of the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ 2023/2024 Western European League in Gothenburg, Sweden, last weekend.
With this photo special, we look back at the action in a packed Scandinavium – a venue famous for its enthusiastic crowds.

Peder Fredricson and the 18-year-old Catch Me Not S gave it their best shot in the jump-off. “I wanted to win myself of course but I am happy for Lars. Great rider, great horsemanship, great trainers. It is nice to see the next generation doing so well,” the former world no. one said after ending third.
