The weather situation has led to changes in Friday's competition program at Falsterbo Horse Show. On Saturday, it looks like both heavy rain and thunderstorms are expected, which may lead to further changes.
I don't think everything will be cancelled, says Jan-Olof Wannius, president of Falsterbo Horse Show.
Friday's Nations Cup show jumping was brought forward by an hour, starting at 13.00, due to uncertain weather conditions in Falsterbo.
According to weather forecasts, a lot of rain is expected on Saturday - something that will likely affect the competition program further during the weekend.
I don't think everything will be cancelled, but there will certainly be changes, says Jan-Olof Wannius, president of Falsterbo Horse Show.
The final decision will be made in the afternoon.
If it turns out that there will be a lot of rain tomorrow, we will change different parts of the program. I want to wait until 15.00 in the afternoon to see if the weather forecast has changed, then we will announce the decision, says Wannius.
The riders who are on site to compete took the decision to bring forward Friday's Nations Cup competition in stride.
The riders and team leaders from as far away as Japan and the USA came and thanked us for the changes today, so that the arena would be in absolutely top condition, says Wannius.
The riders are used to different types of weather, so the riders are the least problem. Everyone is thinking about the safety of the horses, he concludes.
