Lykkeholms Cyperb is a 15-year old danish Sport Pony by Lukas out of Cassandra (by Maior Domus x ). He is bred by Janni Storgaard Madsen.

Young Pony Success

The chestnut pony was first competed by Matilde Trantoft Svanberg, who debuted him as a 4-year old in 2016. In 2017 the pair finished fifth at the Danish Young Pony Championships. Mathilde showed him through the spring of 2018.

Cyperb then moved on to his second rider; Silke Cicilia Rasmussen, who premiered him in July 2018 at LA2-level in Denmark. She showed him through October 2019.

Cyperb sold to the Hilstrøm family for daughter Clara Sofie to ride. She rode her first competition in November 2019 and took Cyperb to his first international competition in Exloo in October 2021. They were 7th at the 2021 Danish Pony Championships.
