FREDRIK THOMSSON | From dream to dedication - the journey of a Swedish horseman
from LETTERS FROM AMERICA · host MARTIN WÆRN
I met with Swedish-born Fredrik Thomsson to talk about what motivated him to leave his teenage room on the Swedish island of Gotland thirty-five years ago, throwing himself headlong into a ranch in Oklahoma to work for reining-horse legend Bob Loomis, and further through hundreds of horses and countless competitions, until today, having his own champion ranch outside Pilot Point, Texas, accompanied by nicknames such as Mr. International, the Swedish Cowboy, or Fred Fortunate - and a wind whispering of a new legend in the making.
