With 100 days to go, the poodle coats are marching to the beat of Elitloppet.
Because when this year's Elitlopp song is released, it's an enticing up-tempo and a melody that sticks.
Tony Josefsson has combined his two interests in life - trotting and music. This year's Elitlopp song, Elitloppet - Once a year, is an anthem for the last weekend in May at Solvalla.
- I hope it will be enjoyed for many years. It's a signature tune," says Tony.
At first listen, you immediately think of Upplands Väsbys pride in the rock scene.
- Ha, ha. Yes, both Mic Michaeli (keyboards) and Ian Haugland (drums) from Europe have been involved in recording, says Tony Josefsson.
He currently works for Björn Goop as a groom, but has kept music close all his life.
- Ian Haugland is one of my best friends and since he plays drums in Europe, it was easy to ask him to help.
Tony Josefsson grew up next door to "Lång-Einar" Johansson at Romme and ran in the stable at an early age.
- I was fascinated by everything and took a liking to the horse. This interest has remained over the years, while music has played a major role. It feels great to be able to unite them. I myself go every day and hum the song for my horses in the stable, says Tony Josefsson.
And in 100 days, the 'whole Valla' can clap its hands.
