The 3-year old Veiscula, the 4-year old Springbank II, the 5-year old Athena, the 6-year old Astoria, and the 7-year old Simmebros Martell were the winners of the 2018 Swedish Warmblood Young Horse Championships, also known as the Swedish Breeders Trophy.

Last year's 3-year old champion, the Danish owned Springbank II (by Skovens Rafael x De Niro) became the clear winner of the 4-year old division after getting rave reviews and straight 10s from Dujardin who fell in love with the suppleness, rideability and movement potential of the licensed stallion.
