The Danish equestrian federation has announced the dressage squads leading up to the new year, 2024. 

The federation has announced its "sport plan" for 2024 which includes the squad selection criteria from pony level to Grand Prix as well as the dates for the training seminars with the Danish team trainer (Wolfram Wittig for the seniors, although he's still officially called "expert trainer").

For the seniors there is an 11-page sport plan created for the Olympic year with several important shows marked. They are the CDI Herning, CDI Hagen, CDI Aalborg, and CDIO's in Compiegne, Aachen, Rotterdam, Falsterbo.

The senior squad riders recently met for a team training with Wolfram Wittig at Slangerupgaard. Shortly after that meeting the new squads for 2024 are announced.

Denmark also announced the youth squads. There is no "Children" squad as the Danish equestrian federation has chosen not to work on promoting and developing this FEI category, so far.
