Danish Rider Sara Aagard Hyrm Holds Firm Grip on Lövsta Future Challenge U25

The judges were in full agreement in the international U25 class, which was decided on Friday morning. Sara Aagard Hyrm received the highest score, 73.48%, securing yet another win.
"It’s an incredible opportunity to compete here in Scandinavium. It’s not something we are used to," Sara Aagard Hyrm commented.

The Danish duo had not competed internationally since July. Since then, Cooper has spent time in the paddock, gone on trail rides, and participated in some national competitions. The pair has also changed trainer.
"Now Cooper will go back to his friends in the paddock, and then we’ll start training for Aachen," Sara shared.

Cecilia Bergåkra took second place, making her the best-placed Swedish rider with My Friend. The pair achieved a personal best at this level with a score of 70.59%, despite receiving deductions after Cecilia encouraged the audience to applaud.
"It was worth it today, but I will never do it again," Cecilia joked.
My Friend has been part of the family for a long time and was previously competed by Cecilia’s younger sister, Emilia Berglund Bergåkra.
"She was a bit too fiery for the children's classes, so we switched horses. Here in the arena, with all the attention, she really thrived," Cecilia said.

Third place in the class went to Dutch rider Quinty Vossers on Inferno, scoring 70.3%.
