Chopin VA is the ‘King’ of Karlsson’s stables. He is a beautiful Dark Bay Stallion with an imposing personality and was born in her very own stables in Grönwohldhof, Germany. He has been by her side since the day he was born and from the age of 4 years, they have been competing as a team.
“We know each other very well. He is also the horse of my dreams and it is with him that I plan to represent Sri Lanka and qualify for the next Olympics in 2024”, said Karlsson.
This championship provides the latest development in the breeding of champion equines across the world and it signifies the value of correct breeding superiority in the performance of equestrian sport.
