On the opening morning of the Falsterbo Horse Show, July 4, 2015, Emma Kårbring and High Felipe won the first class of the entire show — a 1.50m speed qualifier for the International Show Jumping Tour — delivering a clear round that finished comfortably ahead of eleven other elite combinations.
The Swedish Warmblood gelding, bred by Ankie Ekstrand and owned by Erik Kårbring, was by Feliciano 823 out of a Cortez 679 mare, and his naturally fast pace made the track look made for him.
Rolf Stenberg’s hand-painted artwork, made from his own photograph taken at the prize-giving, was later given to Emma by her mother as a birthday surprise.
