Belgian twin brothers Nicola and Olivier Philippaerts join Team H&M. This was announced today on a press conference at Gothenburg Horse Show. Nicola and Olivier will be a part of the sponsored team that already consists of Swedish riders Malin Baryard-Johnsson and Peder Fredricson.

- It’s fantastic to become a part of Team H&M. We share the same values when it comes to team work and the constant focus on improving. We also share the love for horses and fashion, says Nicola Philippaerts.

- It’s an honour for us to be a part of a team with experienced riders such as Malin and Peder. The co-operation makes it possible for us to reach a broader group of fans. They can follow us via the Facebook page H&M We Love Horses, says Olivier Philippaerts.

H&M has since 1996 had a long term co-operation with Malin Bayard-Johnsson and since 2003 with Peder Fredricson.

- We are convinced that Nicola and Olivier will become great ambassadors for H&M both in and outside the ring. They are future stars, but also very grounded. They carry with them a lot of horsemanship, work hard and are interested in fashion. Olivier and Nicola will become a perfect addition to Team H&M, says Petra Leijon af Burén at H&M.
