The Corona pandemic largely ruined the equestrian sport's outdoor season.

Even now, the indoor season is also really decimated.

The World Cup's Western European League would have started on October 14 in Oslo and then moved on to Helsinki, but now the premiere is scheduled to be in Lyon, France on October 28.

VC final in Gothenburg

In total, only seven of thirteen competitions remain.

- We get to take it a little as it comes.

Verona and Lyon have still not canceled, but we'll see how it goes.

I have four outdoor competitions left and then we will simply see how it will be internationally at the highest level.

But everything points to it not being so much this year, says Peder Fredricson.

The World Cup final is scheduled to be decided in Gothenburg on March 31 to April 4, 2021.

"Competition is tougher"

Fredricson has had time to compete a lot this summer and when it has been over, the competitions have been high.

- It has been very good quality in the competitions I have been to.

There will be a few fewer who can compete, but the quality of the competitions is still as high and the competition is tougher because everyone is fighting to deliver on the competitions that are, he says.

In the dressage world cup, only six races remain.

Even there, a competition would have been at the Olympia in London.
