The stallions De Oratore (SWB) 1515 and Still a Secret 1541 achieved the highest scores among the 4-year-old stallions, with De Oratore (SWB) in jumping and Still a Secret in dressage. They are therefore crowned the 2026 SWB Stallion Performance Test Winners. As in previous years, the test was held at Ridskolan Strömsholm outside Västerås, where around 30 stallions were presented for evaluation. No winners were named among the 5-year-old stallions this year, as the number of participants in each discipline was too low. In total, 15 stallions were awarded premiums and 9 were accepted.

The 2026 jumping winner is De Oratore (SWB) 1515, b. 2022, by Cicero van Paemel Z out of Atlanta Z – Air Jordan Z, bred and owned by Equorum, ridden by Mikaela Gustaphson, with a total score of 17.25. The stallion impressed consistently throughout the test with his capacity, technique and attitude, receiving high marks from both judges and test riders.

In dressage, Still a Secret, b. 2022, by Secret out of Bellissima – Benaggio, bred by Caterina Schulz-Beelitz and owned by Lövsta Stuteri AB, ridden by Linnea Cöster, is named the winner with a total score of 21.5. The stallion demonstrated three very good gaits, good balance and rideability, as well as promising development potential, which was appreciated by both the breeding evaluation board and the test riders Mads Hendeliowitz and Theo Hanzon.

SWB warmly congratulates the breeders, owners and presenters of this year’s winners, as well as everyone involved in the training and preparation of the stallions. We also thank all participants, officials and partners including Ridskolan Strömsholm, SWB Mälardalen, ClipMyHorse.TV, Agria and Horsepartner for contributing to another successful stallion performance test at Strömsholm.
