Boyd Martin wins Agria Top 10 Indoor Eventing Warm-Up

Agria Top 10 Indoor Eventing is back at Friends Arena after making a debut at Sweden International Horse Show last year. A hit with the crowds, this competition brings together some of the world’s best eventing riders. Boyd Martin from the U.S. secured the win in Thursday’s warm-up and the eventing stars are now gearing up for Sunday’s final.

The concept covers two classes with a warm-up on Thursday and a final on Sunday over some spectacular Christmas-inspired jumps. A challenging water jump caused trouble for several of the riders in the warm-up, where Boyd Martin ended up in first position with Caruccio Paradise. Sweden’s own Sofia Sjöborg and Eastbourne followed close, while France’s Maxime Livio and Boleybawn Prince, who managed to win both classes last year, came in third.

- What a fantastic, fantastic horse, Boyd Martin says of Caruccio Paradise.- This horse is a champion. He got in there and we had a couple of lucky moments and he really fought for me. He’s a fantastic jumper and I’m very, very lucky to be riding him here in Sweden, he continues, adding the gelding has improved a lot since last year. - He feels stronger and faster and bolder and brighter.
