Norwegian Championship at home soil in Drammen

Johan Sebastian Gulliksen

Johan was born into a horse-loving family, and naturally, his interest in equestrian sports was awakened early on. However, his passion for sports wasn't confined to the equestrian arena alone. Until the age of around 13, Johan showcased exceptional talent as a skier, ranking among the best in his age group across Norway. // "I was more interested in football and skiing back then, but at one point, I had to make a decision, and I chose riding." Ever since then, he has been representing the Norwegian showjumping team. Looking back on this decision, he confidently states that he will never regret choosing full commitment to the equestrian sport. Johan's journey so far, has been marked by grit and determination. He understands that there's no easy path to success and that each stride towards excellence requires perseverance and endless effort as he continues to strive to achieve his goals.
