Our rider choice
Raised surrounded by horses, thanks to a mother with a deep passion for equestrian sports, Petronella developed a profound love for this world from an early age. At just three years old, she rode for the first time, beginning a lifelong bond with horses.
Petronella's competitive spirit emerged early when, at only 10 years old, she shone in her first Championship in Sweden. This enthusiasm led her to the Pony European Championships, where she proudly represented her country. As a Junior, she achieved remarkable results, winning a team bronze medal and an individual silver medal. In 2012, she celebrated her first victory in a CSI 2* Grand Prix.
In 2013, driven by the desire to refine her skills and compete at the highest level, Petronella joined Stephex Stables. Her determination and ambition have continuously propelled her up the world rankings, allowing her to compete successfully at the CSI 5* level.
