\u201cFinnderby, along with the Helsinki International Horse Show, is one of Finland\u2019s most traditional show jumping competitions. The competition has a long history, and it\u2019s great that it has been revived after a few years\u2019 hiatus. We believe it is important that these traditional competitions remain vibrant and continue to evolve in a changing operating environment. \u201cHorse Show is delighted to continue its long-standing partnership with Finnderby,\u201d says Valtteri Gundersby<\/strong>, CEO of the Helsinki International Horse Show .<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s wonderful that our long-standing partnership with the Helsinki International Horse Show remains strong. Finnderby combines tradition, sports, and collaboration in a way we can be proud of. We\u2019re also delighted that the renovation of the Yp\u00e4j\u00e4 Hall roof will be completed before the Yp\u00e4j\u00e4 Horse Show, allowing us to host the event under the renovated roof,\u201d says Heli Kivim\u00e4ki<\/strong>, CEO of Hevosopisto. <\/p>\n\n

This year, the Finnderby will be held for the third time on the redesigned standard course created by course designer Johanna Mikkola, which honors the competition\u2019s traditions while meeting the demands of today\u2019s sport horses.<\/p>\n\n
