Edited press release from Lövsta Stuteri

Through the newly launched project ReGive, Malin Baryard-Johnsson and Lövsta Stud’s stallion El Barone 111 will donate 10% of all of their prize money towards improving the lives of working equines in vulnerable environments.

ReGive is initiated by Lövsta Stud as well as Malin Baryard-Johnsson, and aims to contribute to organisations that focus on horses’ health and well-being. This year, the money goes to Brooke – an organisation that annually helps 1,5 million equine animals in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East to a better life. 

“Our horses do everything for us, but not everyone has the possibilities to do the same for their horses. Through ReGive, we can help to improve the lives of the brave, strong horses and their owners in vulnerable parts of the world. It makes me proud and El Barone 111 and I will give everything to jump in as much money as we can,” Malin Baryard-Johnsson says in a press release.

“Over many years, I have felt an increasing wonder and respect for the deep understanding between horses and humans that is the basis for a collaboration beyond the ordinary. This has characterised my work at Lövsta Stud, as well as my involvement in projects in different parts of the world. One such is Brooke, which supports and increases people’s knowledge about the needs of working horses, mules and donkeys and thus gives them a better life. Through ReGive, a fantastic rider and a fantastic horse will contribute to Brooke’s work to provide better protection for vulnerable animals and people,” Antonia Ax:son Johnsson, owner of Lövsta Stud, says.
