For the second year in a row, and the seventh time in total – Team Sweden has claimed victory in the Agria Falsterbo Nations Cup. And they did it in style, in front of an electric home crowd that roared them across the finish line.

After a thrilling second round, where eight of the world’s top teams battled it out, the atmosphere in the arena was nothing short of electric. The starting order in the final round was based on the results from the first round, in reverse, putting pressure on the top teams to maintain their lead. Team USA, who led after round one, entered last and faced high expectations.

But in the end, it was Team Sweden who outshone them all, delivering world-class performances with both precision and nerve.

Led by Chef D’Equipe Henrik Ankarcrona, the Swedish riders Petronella Andersson, Amanda Landeblad, Peder Fredricson, and Henrik Von Eckermann showed exactly why they’re among the best in the world.

– Falsterbo has meant incredibly much to us. This is where we want to be in the summer, this is where we want to perform and to stand on this podium, Henrik Ankarcrona says during the prize giving ceremony.

Holstein is conquering Sweden – on 12 July 2025, twelve highly promising foals will be put to auction at Falsterbo Horse Show. The hybrid auction sale provides you with an opportunity to secure top genes for breeding and sport purposes.

The promising youngsters are by sires such as Ermitage Kalone, Casall, Diarado or Quel Homme de Hus and Ogano Sitte. The five-star-rated horse show – Sweden’s biggest outdoor equestrian event – combines top-class sport with a family-friendly atmosphere and the Holsteiner foal auction has by now become a fixture on the timetable.

With his rider Gilles Thomas, Ermitage Kalone has been making a name for himself on the international show jumping circuit – at the Holsteiner foal auction he is represented by his daughter Thalia (lot 1). She already boasts several half siblings successfully shown in competition and Crawallo BS by Crawford (Kathrin Wiedmer/GER) is a very close maternal relation.

The second dam of lot 4, Touch of Diamond ML by Ermitage Kalone-Diarado, is a full sister to Cardento by Capitol I (Peter Eriksson/SWE). The family of this desirable filly has produced many other 1.60m level jumping horses, including Cartello by Cartani (Darragh Kenny/IRL).

Lot 10 comes from the direct dam line of former German Champion and runner-up in the European Eventing Championship, Brilliante by Ricardo (Inken Gräfin von Platen-Hallermund/GER): Valentin is by Holsteiner Verband stallion and international youngster tour winner, Vigado by Vigo d’Arsouilles.

The foals are presented live in the big show jumping arena on Saturday, 12 July around 2 o’clock, with the auction scheduled to begin directly after the traditional Falsterbo Derby, around 5 o’clock. Of course, for all those unable to attend, the event is livestreamed by ClipMyHorse.tv – even though you certainly won’t regret a trip to the international horse show held in the scenic health resort Falsterbo.

All information, the pedigrees and videos of the foals to be auctioned are now online on www.holsteiner.auction. Do not hesitate to contact executive director and marketing manager Felix Flinzer (+49 162 3493942), should you have any questions. ­

Henrik von Eckermann and Steely Dan kicked off a historic weekend at Falsterbo Horse Show with a home victory in the first Rolex Grand Prix qualifier, presented by Trikem. Under clear skies the riders began their pursuit for a ticket to Sunday’s Rolex Grand Prix – held in Scandinavia for the first time ever.

Thursday afternoon offered top sport under perfect conditions as the first qualifier for the Rolex Grand Prix got underway. The qualifier, presented by Trikem, marks the first stage for riders aiming to secure a place in Sunday’s highlight event, the Rolex Grand Prix presented by Agria, which debuts in Scandinavia as part of the Rolex Series during this year’s Falsterbo Horse Show. The premiere has attracted one of the strongest lineups in the series’ history, with five of the world’s top ten-ranked riders competing.

Much to the delight of the home crowd, Sweden’s Henrik von Eckermann and Steely Dan (b. 2016, by Hardrock Z – Cardento) delivered the fastest clear round of the day. One of the youngest horses in the field, Steely Dan impressed with his scope and carefulness. Von Eckermann, currently ranked world number three, praised the gelding’s heart and character, saying “he is careful and with a heart of gold” “The feeling is great, especially winning on home soil”.

Just tenths behind came Spencer Smith (USA) and HHS Seattle, a familiar pair to Falsterbo fans. Third place went to world number one Kent Farrington, who made his Falsterbo debut with Myla. Farrington expressed his appreciation for the event and the enthusiastic Swedish audience.

The Rolex Grand Prix, presented by Agria, will take place on Sunday, July 13 at 14:00 CET. Riders must qualify through two 1.50m speed classes – today’s qualifier and another on Saturday – with the top 50 combinations earning a place in Sunday’s Rolex Grand Prix (CSIO*, 1.60m).

Each qualifier carries a purse of €28,200 and is run as a single-round speed competition with no jump-off.

1) Henrik Von Eckermann, SWE – Steely Dan 0/60.45

2) Spencer Smith, USA – Hhs Seattle 0/60.90

3) Kent Farrington, USA – Myla 0/61.37

With less than a month to go until this year’s Falsterbo Horse Show, it is now confirmed that
Sweden’s showjumping elite will come to Falsterbo. Four of Sweden’s most beloved and
internationally successful riders; Malin Baryard-Johnsson, Peder Fredricson, Henrik von
Eckermann and Rolf-Göran Bengtsson are confirmed.

The Swedish showjumping team has dominated the international scene in recent years, both
individually and as a team. Now, Swedish fans will have the chance to watch their Olympic,
World and European medallists compete on home soil.

“It’s incredibly exciting that Sweden’s very best riders are choosing to prioritize Falsterbo.
There’s something truly magical about the atmosphere when the Swedish showjumping elite
enters the arena. The audience is so engaged and it’s fantastic to be able to offer them that
experience. Interest from top international nations is also very high and while final start lists
are not yet set, we are already seeing a very strong line-up for both Agria Falsterbo Nations
Cup and Rolex Grand Prix presented by Agria,” says Josephine Sjölin, Sports Manager.

For many riders, Falsterbo is one of the most important shows of the year, not only for the
sport itself, but for the chance to compete in front of a home audience. One rider particularly
looking forward to this year’s edition is former world number one Henrik von Eckermann:

“Of course, I’m excited to return to Falsterbo and compete in front of the Swedish audience.
The fact that Falsterbo is now part of the Rolex Series means we’ll probably have the
strongest line-up ever seen here. Competing with and against the best is an incredible
motivation for me and this is a competition I’m truly looking forward to,” says Henrik von
Eckermann.

Falsterbo Horse Show takes place 5–13 July and as always offers an unforgettable mix of
equestrian sport, summer atmosphere and family-friendly festivities by the sea. The
international jumping classes begin on Thursday 10 July and include among others, Agria
Falsterbo Nations Cup, the iconic Falsterbo Derby and Rolex Grand Prix presented by Agria
on the final day with 50 of the world’s top riders.
