The Swedish national youth teams are strongly supported by four coaches: Tina Due-Boje is young rider team leader, Marianne Esseen-Söderberg is chef of the juniors and Bobo Lundberg for the pony riders. Kerstin André functions as supervisor of all U21 teams.
For the Swedish youth riders the action begins this week with the Swedish Young Riders Championships in Stromsholm this weekend.
