The Swedish equestrian federation has announced that the Swedish Grand Prix A-team has been expanded with two new riders: Marina Mattsson and Anne Svanberg.
Based on the good results recently achieved with their Grand Prix horses, the 21-year old Mattsson and 43-year old Svanberg were now submitted to the A-team.
"Both riders are well worth it," said Swedish team captain Bo Jena. "Both are very talented young riders who have proven themselves at this level."
