An individual Olympic Silver Medal winner, Rolf was originally educated to work as a mechanic, and combined this job with riding horses for nine years.
In 1986, horses became his full-time job and ten years later he left Sweden to work with Jan Tops in Holland, where he stayed until he and his business partner Bo Kristofferson moved to Breitenburg in 2003. Rolf had a sponsor relationship with Stud La Silla that came to an end early 2013. He then began riding for Lego-owner Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen’s team Stutteri Ask.
His motto of ‘always try to do your best’. Rolf is a regular on the Swedish international team and has represented his country in four Olympic Games, four World Championships, seven European Championships and qualified for and impressive nine FEI World Cup Finals. Rolf was Sweden's flag bearer at the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games, London
His best-loved horses have been Tepic La Silla, Ninja La Silla, Casall ASK, Pialotta and Mac Kinley.
He considers Global Champions Tour to be ‘very high quality shows’ and is looking forward to competing this year.
