The Danish equestrian federation has announced the new Grand Prix squads for the year 2021. 

Danish team trainer Nathalie zu Sayn-Wittgenstein and team captain Anne-Mette Binder drafted these squads of senior and Under 25 Grand Prix riders.

The squads will change during the season based of performances, ideally at competitions pending on the corona situation.  The C-squad was open to small tour level riders with promise for Grand Prix. 

"We have opened the C-squad up for high scoring Inter1 combinations and high 60% combinations and only for this year due to corona," Nathalie zu Sayn-Wittgenstein explained to Eurodressage.
