“Make it once and you are a hero forever. Make it twice and you become immortal. 15 years have passed since that magic Sunday in May when he made his mark in history. When he failed to give his homeland a worthy successor, the nation let him down and he was ostracized. With the first September frost he came back to Sweden, and never will the King have to leave his kingdom again.”
I got to meet him last week for work, and that’s the result. OK, for you who isn’t that into Swedish harness racing, the King is a hot old horse named Copiad. Anyway, I know the language is Mumbo Jumbo for most of you, but I hope you appreciate the footage by Mickey Thörnblad, and the music by Georges Bizet.
I guess you can’t tell from the feature, but one of the interviews was made balancing on two piles of sawdust, and it sure is the oddest setting I’ve ever done it in. Don’t ask me why, but it seemed like a really good idea, then. You should all try it yourselves....
When I’m facing the final stretch, I also want to spend my last days by a blue lake and in the company of a white pony.

Om min vita ponny lever när du drar dig tillbaka, så får du låna honom :)
