Best Presented Pony
During this year’s Hästarnas Mästare, we saw the winner Qrispy dressed as a superhero! Several other ponies also showed off their best sides, decorated and styled to stand out.
Pony gallop is not just a fast-paced and exciting sport where young riders compete to be the quickest to the finish line. There’s also a competitive element that focuses on creativity and style – the Best Presented Horse competition. In this event, the horses are judged not only for their speed but also for how well they are decorated and presented.
The horses are styled with everything from colorful decorations to theme-inspired outfits. It’s all about creating the most impressive and unique look, and the judges take every detail into account – from the mane’s styling to the creative accessories.
