The best riders of the national Dressage Winter Cup series were determined at the final qualifier, Hevosopisto Winter Dressage in Ypäjä.
Super Final spots were secured by defending winner Lassi Lehmusto with his Finnhorse Vekardo, the crossbred pony Minion Verde who has moved up to Intermediate level with Anna Kärkkäinen, and Finnish Champions Ville Vaurio and Dante NL.
The Super Final will also feature some of Finland’s most successful age-group riders: young rider Venla Lahtinen with Tempelhünter, junior rider Armi Pietarinen with Lisbeth S, and the pony combination Aino Hallasaari and Fairytale Twilight.
They will challenge the seniors on equal terms, as in the Horse Show Super Final all combinations will perform their level-specific freestyle programs. The combination receiving the highest percentage from the judges will be crowned the winner of the 2026 Dressage Winter Cup Super Final!
This exciting competition will take place at the Messukeskus International Arena just before the highlight of the event, the FEI Jumping World Cup qualifier.
Come and cheer for your favorite on Sunday, March 1st at Messukeskus!
