Fredricson: "The Olympics should have been the last big Championship for All In"

Fredricson: "The Olympics should have been the last big Championship for All In"

The Swedish top rider Peder Fredricson saw one of his biggest goals of this year, the Olympics, being cancelled. This reschedule is extra painful for him since the Olympics were planned to be the last big championship for this top horse H&M All In (f. Kashmir van Schuttershof). It's not clear yet wether Fredricson will still ride the horse at a big championship such as the Olympics next year. 



Fredricson indicates he was very disappointed when he hear the Olympics were postponed: "I have to be honest and I have to confess that I was very disapointed when I heard the Olympics were postponed. I plannend my schedule with All In around the Olympics. It's because of that I gave him some rest in the beginning of this year and I just started training with him again with an eye on the Olympics. I don't know if I can still count on him next year, I can't look in the future. When I go to a Championship, I look which of my Grand Prix horses is in the best shape. That's the horse I will be riding at the Championship. If that's All In, I will take him". 

Fredericson however indicates he has more time now: "There are worse thing than competitions being cancelled. At this moment a lot of people are coping with bigger difficulties. I'm happy to be living at the country side and that I can continue working. At this moment I also spend more time with my family than usual, which is nice. My life is more quiet right now, I have more time. I already re-painted my fences and the stable got an upgrade".
