The winners of the national Winter Cup series in dressage were determined at the final competition, the Hevosopisto Winter Dressage, in Yp\u00e4j\u00e4.<\/p>\n\n

A spot in the Super Final was secured by Lassi Lehmusto, who was defending his previous victory, riding his Finnish horse Vekardo; Minion Verde, a crossbred pony that has advanced to the Intermediate level, and Anna K\u00e4rkk\u00e4inen; and Finnish champions Ville Vaurio and Dante NL.<\/p>\n\n

The Super Final will also feature some of our country\u2019s most successful age-group riders: young rider Venla Lahtinen and Tempelh\u00fcnter, junior rider Armi Pietarinen and Lisbeth S, and the pony pair Aino Hallasaari and Fairytale Twilight. <\/p>\n\n

They challenge the seniors at their own level, as all riders perform their level-specific freestyle routines in the Horse Show Super Final. And the horse-and-rider pair that receives the highest scores from the judges will be the winner of the 2026 Dressage Winter Cup Super Final! <\/p>\n\n

This exciting competition will take place at the Messukeskus International Arena just before the event\u2019s climax, the World Cup show jumping competition.<\/p>\n\n

Come cheer on your favorite competitor on Sunday, March 1, at Messukeskus! <\/p>\n\n
