Karin Fischer Kristiansson

"It really depends on how you define achievement. But if I had to choose, I’d say I’m most proud of having successfully trained and developed two completely different dogs all the way to national team level in my discipline. It’s been an incredible journey with each of them, and a true testament to the power of patience, adaptability, and trust."

Amanda Barnestam

"My greatest achievement in equestrian sports is without a doubt winning an individual gold medal at the Swedish Championships together with Jarno RP 145 – a pony I had the privilege of borrowing from Karin Levin. It was a true dream moment and a memory I’ll carry with me for life. Building a partnership with a borrowed pony and reaching the very top is something I’m incredibly proud of."

Christine Siljedal

"My greatest achievement in dogs has to be approving my first herding dog. That day meant a lot to me."

One of them, in particular, was a real challenge: from not even being able to mount safely to now competing in advanced-level show jumping."
