The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg will be fielding a team at the 2023 European Dressage Championships in Riesenbeck on 4 - 10 September 2023. 

It's been four years since Luxembourg last fielded a team, this at the 2019 European Dressage Championships in Rotterdam. At the 2021 Europeans there was one individual, at the 2022 World Championships two riders competed individually.

For 2023 the small country of Luxembourg (with 640,000 inhabitants) picked a team of three. They are:

  • Nicolas Wagner - Quater Back Junior
  • Fie Skarsoe - Imperador dos Cedros
  • Mathis Goerens - Riptide

Luxembourg's Sascha Schulz made a last minute attempt to ride himself on the team after his partner Christof Umbach purchased Zaneta Skowronska's Grand Prix horse Romantic P in May, but the new pair did not gel quick enough to achieve the selection.
