The International Equestrian Federation FEI's latest world ranking is topped by German Daniel Deusser.

Behind him, Peder Fredricson has taken a giant leap from 17th to second place.

He has not had such a good listing since 2019.

- It is clear that you think a lot about it.

Especially when you are as close to the top as I am now, he says from the car on the way home from the European Championship jumping in Germany.

Where a mistake in the decisive final round crushed the golden chances for the crew Fredricson and Catch Me Not S.

- Immediately afterwards, you are a little disappointed.

You always want to be flawless.

But with a little distance, I'm glad it was a medal.

Now one of the sub-goals is to top the world rankings soon.

This weekend's European Championships do not include the latest rankings and thus bode well for next month.

- I would think that it takes one or two really good months with good results, at the same time as my competitors up there may lose something.

On Thursday, the season for Fredricson continues with the Global Champions Tour in Rome.

In the documentary Nr1 - with a view to the world top, Peder Fredricson shares a unique insight into what it takes to be the best in the world.
