The Swedish Equestrian Federation has announced the updated Swedish dressage squads going into the new year 2021.
Swedish dressage team captain Bo Jenå is looking forward to a new and hopefully brighter year with more competition opportunities.
"It can only get better. Now let's hope that the competitions can start again as soon as the health situation allows it," he said. "The (longer) training period has been positive in many ways. The riders in the top squad have more horses that will debut at Grand Prix. It will be exciting to see them in spring."
The 2021 competition could be action packed with the 2021 World Cup Finals set to take place in Gothenburg, the belated Olympics in Tokyo, followed by a European Dressage Championships in September.
The technical staff lined up for the youth squads include Anette Svanberg as pony team captain, Marianne Esseen-Söderberg as junior & children captain and Tina Due Boje as young riders' captain. The Youth team trainers are Kerstin André, Liane Wachtmeister, and Cecilia Kristoffersen.
