On a day to remember, Sweden’s Henrik von Eckermann and King Edward were crowned World Champions at the Agria FEI Jumping World Championship in Herning on Sunday afternoon – after completing the five rounds of competition without making a single mistake. After their team gold on Friday night, the pair returned to the Stutteri Ask Stadium on Sunday as clear favourites for the individual title and did not disappoint their many fans who had come to cheer them on. 

“It’s unbelievable,” the Swedish 41-year-old said about his feelings after winning his second gold medal at the Danish venue. 

With this photo special, we celebrate Henrik von Eckermann and the incredible 12-year-old gelding King Edward (Edward x Feo).
