Ludvig Svennerstål

Sven Ludwig Svennerstål (born 24 August 1990, Stockholm) is a Swedish equestrian. At the 2012 Summer Olympics and 2016 Summer Olympics he competed in the individual eventing, and was part of the Swedish eventing team on both occasions.

Ludwig picked up the Shearwater/ERA Rising Star Award 2013 at the Event Riders Association's annual ball. The award was given to the rider who impressed the most on the International stage in 2013, and the decision was unanimously agreed up on by the jury! At the CCI4* Badminton Horse Trials, Svennerstål with his horse Alexander IV, made a super performance around the cross country, but due to an injury the combination had to withdraw before the Show Jumping phase. At the 2013 European Championships in Malmö, Sweden, Svennerstål saddled up his 2012 Olympic ride Shamwari 4, and the combination had their hands on an individual medal, but after two poles came flying down during the final phase of show jumping they had to "settle" for a team silver for Sweden. At the Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials, King Bob, made an overall super performance which led to a final ninth placing.
