The Swedish Equestrian Federation has named the first three riders on its team for the 2026 World Para Dressage Championships in Aachen.
Sweden announced these three names in Falsterbo. The fourth rider and the reserve will be selected after the international competition in Laholm on July 24-26.
The goal to qualify for the 2028 Los Angeles Paralympics.
"It is fantastic to have so many talented riders to choose from, it is a tough team to join," says national team captain Mette Ubbesen.
Also sure of a spot on the Swedish team are:
- Louise Etzner Jakobsson - Goldstrike B.J.
- Lena Malmström - Fabulous Fidelie
- Pam Svane - Raja
"We place great importance on team cohesion," said Ubbesen. "Even though it is an individual sport, it is important that everyone helps each other and works as a team, not against each other. When riders support each other and enjoy each other, better conditions are created for performance and achieving good results."
