Tidningen Ridsport reported that Sofie Lexner has withdrawn from Swedish WEG team contention as her number one Grand Prix horse Inoraline is not fit to compete.

Inoraline W is a 13-year old Dutch warmblood mare by Johnson out of Noraline (by Amiral x Michelangelo). She is bred by Jan Greve of De Watermolen

Inoraline W

Inoraline W is a half sister to Patrik Kittel's career launching Scandic. Under Lisanne der Nederlanden, the chestnut mare finished fifth in the 2016 VSN Trophy Finals and became an IBOP high scorer with 80.5 points at the KWPN mare show in Tolbert.

She sold as a young horse to Linden-Urnes family of Christinelund Dressage in Sweden as a hopeful for Lexner to ride. 

The pair made its international show debut in March 2024 at Grand Prix level in Herning and competed in Hagen and Aachen that year and put herself in the spotlight of the Swedish selectors. In 2025 they had their break through year after successful starts in Tolbert and Hamburg and were selected on the Swedish Team for the European Championships in Crozet, where they finished 27th in the Special (69.565%). They concluded the year with 71% Grand Prix scores at the CDI's in Herning and Stockholm

Not Fit

Inoraline W had not yet competed internationally in 2026 and her FEI passport was not even renewed for this year, indicating no immediate intentions for competition. The duo was also absent from the Swedish national Championships.

Ridsport now officially confirmed the mare has not been fit.
