Lars Kersten, an established international show jumper, returns to SWB Equestrian Weeks at Flyinge together with his father and trainer Pieter Kersten as test rider in showjumping.

Lars will ride the five-year-old jumping horses in the Breeders Trophy class, presented by Hyperion Stud. Their participation last year was highly appreciated, where they delivered a well-received, clinic-style final that provided valuable insights for breeders, riders, and spectators alike.
“The test ride adds another dimension to the evaluation of five-year-old showjumping horses, where the winner can be decided without them having to compete against the clock. As an added bonus, the test ride is one of the highlights of the week for our audience, says SWB CEO Anette Graf.
With their extensive experience in breeding, training, and developing young horses, both Lars and Pieter bring valuable knowledge and perspective as Lars rides and evaluates the five-year-old horses during the Breeders Trophy finals.
