All four of them come from Sweden and they are making their first World Cup final in Omaha. The two-legged ones are called Johanna Dueboje and Wilma Hellström. The four-legged ones are Mazy Klövenhöj and Cici BJN. In the stands sit those who sowed the seed for everything - the breeders of the horses.
During the Easter weekend, the World Cup finals in both jumping and dressage will be held in Omaha, USA. On site, in the stands, sit two nervous breeders. It is Mazy Klövenhöj's breeder Annette Karlsson and Cicci BJN's breeder Jonas Sohlman.
Mazy Klövenhöj is the daughter of a hurdle racer and as a young horse she was "unremarkable" according to her breeders Annette Karlsson and Aksel Primdahl. The duckling turned into a swan and despite her uneventful background, Mazy Klövenhöj has achieved great success on the dressage tracks with her rider Johanna Dueboje.

When "everyone else" covered with Cardento, they dared to try a relatively unknown, young stallion.
