Chance for an Östergötland medal
The inauguration takes place on Monday, but the competitions take place throughout the week.
Every day, more than a hundred organizers are on site.
Isabell Carlstedt from Kimstad stands by the jump and helps.
On Wednesday, the horse Jalapeno will also come here and then it's time for Isabell Carlstedt to change organizer clothes for riding clothes.
She is a new shooting star in riding and together with Jalapeno she participates in the Swedish Championships for juniors with a chance of a medal.
- Our strength together is that we always fight and never give up.
The goal is of course to take a Swedish Championship gold, says Isabell Carlstedt.
