Benjamin Werndl returns to SWB Equestrian Weeks at Flyinge this autumn.The highly acclaimed German top rider and trainer, Benjamin Werndl, is making a thrilling return as a test rider at the SWB Equestrian Weeks with Breeders Trophy at Flyinge this autumn. This year brings an exciting new addition: on Sunday, September 29th, he will also host a clinic focusing on the training of young, promising dressage riders and their horses.
SWB Equestrian Weeks with Breeders Trophy aims to promote the important foundational training of young horses, and having sought-after and skilled test riders aligns with this long-term goal.
"We received an overwhelmingly positive response after Benjamin joined SWB Equestrian Weeks as a test rider last year." says competition manager and senior advisor Tomas Torgersen.
The test riding during the SWB Equestrian Weeks is immensely popular and draws a large audience. The event will be webcast via Equisport.TV for viewers in Sweden and ClipMyHorse.TV for the rest of the world.
As a new addition this year, the Swedish Warmblood Association will host a clinic with Benjamin Werndl alongside with several young, promising dressage riders and their horses. There will also be a Q&A session for the audience.
-It feels very exciting and I am happy to return as a test rider for the SWB Equestrian Weeks. It will also be very rewarding to do a clinic where we can focus to go more into detail, as well as talk about the challenges that can occur when training different types of horses, says Benjamin Werndl.
"We want to inspire the Swedish audience with smooth and professional riding at the highest level," says Helén Uddefors, CEO of SWB.
