Ifol, there were no international competitions due to the pandemic.
Instead, the Swedish Championships were decided in Falsterbo, in August instead of July and also without an audience.
"Everything is not quite as usual"
This year, the Falsterbo Horse Show will be off, but in a modified variant.
Nations Cup - team jumping between countries, will not be included in the program.
The fact that the Olympics are close in time also affects - for example, the international dressage has been discontinued in the past.
And the audience will not be as large as it usually is at the traditional event.
- It feels wonderful that it is going in the right direction, even if everything is not quite as usual yet.
We will probably not get to see the very best horses because they will be quarantined before the Olympics.
But we will still see several big names in the Derby and Grand Prix, and probably some exciting profiles that do not normally compete in Falsterbo, says SVT's expert Lotta Björe.
How much does it mean that Falsterbo gets rid of, do you think?
- It will be super cool to follow the competitions even for everyone who is not in place, thanks to the TV broadcasts.
This will be an inspiration for many who have not been able to ride or compete for a long time, due to the pandemic, for example young people.
It will be a push in the right direction for equestrian Sweden.
Fredricson puts the gold edge
SVT's expert believes that the audience favorite Peder Fredricson will put a golden edge on events, as so many times before.
- Peder is a talent beyond the ordinary, regardless of which horse he brings.
But it will be fun to see all Swedish competitors, because we have seen such great blue-yellow successes internationally in recent months, says Lotta Björe.
She also highlights Malin Baryard Johnsson, and her investment in younger horses.
- Malin has lasted for so many years and is a fantastic rider. So even if she does not bring her best horse, it will be exciting to see her. I personally think it is so interesting to follow her younger horses, how they are shaped for the future, Björe concludes.
