A week before the 2026 World Championships for young dressage horses in Verden, the Swedish delegation has been changed. Sofie Lexner and 7-year old Pantera are out.
Tidningen Ridsport reported the news
After missing out on the 2026 show season with her 2025 European Championship team horse Inoraline, who sustained an injury, Lexner dealt with a second blow as she won't be taking Christinelund's 7-year old Swedish warmblood mare Pantera (by Romeo x Londonderry) to Verden. The pair finished 14th in the 6-year old finals in Verden last year.
The mare has a swollen leg and in order not to jeopardize her health and future in the sport she has been withdrawn from the Championships.
The first reserve, Lina Dolk on Livia (by Vivaldon x Londonderry) have stepped in to substitute for them. Livia is bred by Cadiac Dressage and owned by Linnea Dolk.
