Baryard-Johnsson and the mare Indiana were flawless all weekend.

And in Saturday night's five-star GP jump (1.60 meters), the crew got to what the rider calls a "dream round".

- It was absolutely fantastic.

The way we did it, it was magical, she tells SVT Sport.

"A little given up"

The conditions were tough.

Twelve went on to jump over after finishing the main round at a furious pace.

- They were fast from the beginning, but then the times fought all the time.

You rode faster and faster, and for a little while I felt a little abandoned, because I felt that I would not be able to ride that fast.

But I pulled myself together and we did, she says.

She continues:

- It is the best victory, to actually get to a dream round and beat everyone when you yourself felt that it is almost impossible.

What are you taking with you from this weekend?

- It's probably the best win we've had Indiana and I.

Of course we have the Olympic gold (in teams, from Tokyo) that beats everything, but the way we won, the way we got to everything, it was absolutely incredible.

It's definitely the best jump we've ever done.

"One of the world's absolute best horses"

The crew has managed to raise the level further since last season.

The cause?

- Everything has fallen into place.

She is clearly one of the absolute best horses in the world and it took a few years for us to get together but now we are really a team she and I.

I enter the track and feel an enormous security in being able to ride a horse like this as she actually is.

- I know that if I get it and do everyone right, she will do everything right too.

More women in the super final

After the GP victory in France, it will be another super final in Prague for the Swede.

The 47-year-old also rode the prestigious and money-loving final last year and then finished sixth.

But this year, unlike then when she was the only female rider in the final, she will be joined by both German Katrin Eckermann and Dutch Sanne Thijssen.

And there may be more women.

- I was one of ten women last year and now we are at least three.

It feels very, very, good.

Before that, GCT competitions at home in Stockholm and the World Cup in Denmark in August are looming.

Baryard-Johnsson is one of the medal candidates, both on his own and in teams.

Should she win a medal, it will be her first individual at a championship - and the level of this weekend's jumping bodes well.

- We definitely have the capacity to take an individual medal, but so do many others.

But I will do everything I can, says Malin Baryard-Johnsson.
