Quotes:
Edwina Tops-Alexander AUS (3rd): “My last indoor show was in March, then I had a five-month break because I was expecting our baby, Chloe. I got California in November last year, she’s not super-experienced but she has plenty of jump and a great mind.”
Morten Aasen, Show Director: “I’m grateful and thankful to have so many great riders coming all the way to Oslo. The horses are out of this world as are the riders - what they do is just art!”
