Kardos, Laustsen, Thunberg, Lindvall and Kittel Win 2023 Swedish Dressage Championships

Children rider Ronja Kardos, junior Laura Laustsen, young rider Hedda Thunberg, Under 25 rider Jennifer Lindvall and senior Patrik Kittel became the winners of the 2023 Swedish Dressage Championships at Grand Prix level in Stromsholm (SWE) on 2 - 6 June 2023.

The five division champions made history in a rather unique way by all renewing their title from 2022. All riders competed in three rounds to determine the titles.

Youth: Kardos, Laustsen, Thunberg

In the children division Ronja Kardos not only renewed her title but only two weeks ago she won the 2023 Swedish Pony Championships as well. In Stromsholm she saddled the 9-year old Holly's Final (by Floricello x Bernstein) and was a league of her own winning all three rounds with 82.875%, 84.615% and 75.218%. She placed no less than 25% (!!!) ahead of the runner-up.

"He is like a big teddy bear and always does exactly the right thing," said Ronja. "This gold means a lot. We have trained him ourselves and now we feel ready for the championships this summer."
