"To do well, you have to love horses. If you don't like horses, and don't enjoy being around them, you should not ride. I think if you work with horses, they work with you."

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.
We are proud to announce that Victoria together with Mistral van de Vogelzang has been selected to represent Norway in the Olympic Games in Paris this summer!
The selection has been done by the Olympic Committee and the Norwegian Equestrian Federation, based on Victoria's strong performance with Mistral this season. We are looking forward to see them perform in beautiful surroundings at the Versailles palace, where the olympic equestrian competitions will take place 5.-6. of August.
