Henrik von Eckermann Wins in the USA: A New Triumph at the World’s Biggest Competitions
Henrik von Eckermann continues to impress in the world of showjumping. The Swedish rider, currently ranked world number one, claimed yet another victory at the Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF) in Wellington, Florida, this past weekend. The competition, part of the prestigious 12-week-long FEI series, saw von Eckermann and his competition horse, Glamour Girl, win the $62,500 Adequan® WEF Challenge Cup Round 3.
With a flawless round and a fast time of 36.130 seconds, they secured first place and once again showed why they are an unbeatable team at the international level. The tight competition included top riders such as Kent Farrington and Nayel Nassar, but no one was able to challenge the Swedish duo.
“It was a fantastic performance from Glamour Girl,” von Eckermann commented after the competition. “When she’s in top form, she’s unbeatable.”
This victory strengthens his position as one of the world’s top showjumpers, and he is expected to continue delivering at international competitions in the coming weeks.
The Winter Equestrian Festival runs until the end of March 2025, and von Eckermann will continue to compete against the best riders in the world for more successes.
