He estimates 95 percent of the horses they buy come from Sweden. Nicola Philippaerts had been riding him for a year for his breeder Bas Huybregts.

Peder was searching for a horse to ride in the Olympic Games, and Söderström was ready to buy him one. Do you want to do this or not? I spent a lot of time looking at horses. I went to Germany and Belgium and Holland.

Showjumping is here!

I could see the horse had something. He was green, but I really liked what I saw. I went there the next day and took a few jumps, and I thought it was the best horse I ever tried. You could feel he was super careful and really quick off the ground. I got him home, and as you always do, you have some ups and downs, but I never stopped believing in him because I felt he had something extra. Peder passed up a chance at riding on the European Championships team when the gelding was 9 because he felt it was too early. I think they have a special bond because Peder is a perfect rider of a horse like that; he really relaxes with Peder on his back. With that horse he could really use his skills to listen to the horse and be a soft rider and ride the horse in balance. By , Allan was peaking just as Peder had hoped. The Olympic Games is once every fourth year, and everyone who works with horses knows that things are happening all the time.

Or you have a fence or two down. I was really grateful for getting that individual medal. Lisen described Peder as extremely prepared heading into Rio. He knew it was seven rounds, including the training rounds, and he knew exactly every step he needed to do in the warm-up. He was very mentally prepared. In the final, he was just in a bubble—like a robot. On his reading list before Rio? But the meticulous preparation and influx of attention surrounding his Olympic medal took a toll on Peder, and by January he was battling pneumonia. I got this cold, but I really enjoyed it because everything was going my way, so I worked even though I was sick. I should have rested when I was sick. Allan had also undergone colic surgery in October after the Olympics after several minor episodes over a short period of time. I have to work hard to have him feel happy. Allan recovered well and began competing again the next spring, and Peder returned to competition refreshed and ready to battle it out at the FEI European Championships in his home country that summer.

There they earned individual gold and team silver. It was unbelievable atmosphere. The Swedish audience is amazing. The pair continued a great year with five-star grand prix wins in Stockholm, Falsterbo Sweden and Hamburg Germany. I can just see they have a special connection. Swedish rider Henrik von Eckermann grew up riding with Peder from his junior days and has since ridden on several teams with his mentor, including the Olympics. He always had a goal and worked for it, then the horse came along and put the crown on top of it. The Games was something I work hard for and have been preparing for a long time for. He won a contest out of 85 submissions from 17 countries. That was a reason I stopped painting.

A typical day at Grevlunda includes Holmen riding most of the young horses, and Peder schooling some and checking in with her. The way he works with his horses, I admire it so much. He really brings the best out of every horse he sits on. I admire that. He tries to stay away from the sand arena as much as possible since the horses are on artificial footing most weekends, and he believes hacking through the forest is great for soundness of body and mind. I love the feeling of having a Thoroughbred horse really fit and going to a show, and you have to walk the cross-country and prepare for the dressage. He has a very soft style of riding. Peder says the best trainers are the five-star riders he gets to watch every weekend. You see the best riders in the world, and you can always try to find something and find an answer by these unbelievable riders. You just have to look for it yourself. Peder quietly longed the gelding to loosen up and chatted with Holmen while she rode a young horse, then he hopped on Christian K to school him on the flat.

The top horses rarely jump at home, he tells me. I would really like to be better and improve.
