2009 Swedish Dressage Championships

Tinne Vilhelmson Wins 2009 Swedish Grand Prix Title with Favourit

August 3, 2009

Tinne Vilhelmson won the 2009 Swedish Dressage Championships held at the Ericsberg castle in Katrineholm, Sweden. Aboard her new Grand Prix horse Favourit (by Fidermark x Worldchamp), Vilhelmson won both championship rounds.

Trained by Hubertus Schmidt and Louise Nathhorst, Vilhelmson was the strongest in the Grand Prix (71.617%) and Kur to Music (75.95%). Her overall score was the highest which earned her the gold medal. Maria Eriksson and her striking chestnut gelding Galliano obtained the silver with a 70.255% Grand Prix score and a 73% Kur score. The bronze medal went to Louise Nathhorst on Visums. They were fourth in the Grand Prix (68.255%) and improved in the Kur (71.55%).

"I'm incredibly satisfied," Vilhelmson commented after her kur, which was her first freestyle with Favourit. "I wanted him to make his kur debut here, because I think the atmosphere at Ericsberg is very positive for horses. I was a bit scared that he would be stressed by the music but he stayed very calm."
