This is awesome. Questioning traditional thoughts about horses and shoes.
💪🥇🥇🥇 BAREFOOTERS take GOLD in the team showjumping at the OLYMPICS! COME ON 💪
**BREAKING NEWS!!** Yep you heard it, Swedish 🇸🇪 barefoot horses are TOP OF THE WORLD, taking GOLD to beat the USA in a breathtaking jump off for the top position.
👉 No more will the world say that barefoot horses cannot compete at the highest level!
👉No more will the world say “well it’s not gold is it”… because IT IS!!
GOLD🥇 GOLD 🥇 GOLD 🥇
🥇Peder Fredricson riding H&M All In - BAREFOOT - rode an incredible final round, he had to go clear and he had to ride faster than the US - and the two of them did it!
🥇 Henrik Von Eckermann riding King Edward - BAREFOOT - went first, stayed composed and did a blinding round completely clear - he didn't knock down one fence in the entire competition!!!
Even though we are celebrating the barefoot achievement here, it is a team event and we have to also congratulate their other awesome team rider, Malin, who with her horse really jumped their hearts out!👇
🥇Malin Baryard-Johnsson riding Indiana - SHOD - had to go clear...and fast... and they did! Fantastic round!
SO YES BAREFOOT PIONEERS WINNING GOLD AT THE OLYMPICS - THEY DID IT! 🙌
All 3 riders not only went clear and fast - but they were the most consistent riders in the whole competition - only knocking down 2 fences in the final stages.
👉BOTH the barefoot horses were previously SHOD and were transitioned to barefoot.
H&M All In - who took SILVER in the individual showjumping, is now being recognised as probably the BEST all round showjumper IN THE WORLD…
….and he is BAREFOOT! 💪
King Edward - didn’t drop ONE POLE in the entire competition - an incredible horse! 🙌

Show jumping is a TOUGH sport for horses and riders, and the equine world has always perpetuated the narrative that horses just could not compete and succeed at these lofty high levels unless they were SHOD…
… THAT HAS NEVER BEEN TRUE…
… and now these amazing horses and riders HAVE PROVED IT TO THE WORLD!!🙌🌎
So come on EQUINE world… stop believing that horses need metal nailed to their feet to be the TOP COMPETITORS ON THIS PLANET!
