The Danish warmblood society has announced the horses that have been long-listed for Danish team selection for the 2026 World Championships for young dressage horses in Verden in August.
A four-day team selection trial took place in Randbol on 25 - 29 May 2026, where judges Gunilla Nyman and Jens Holm Kristensen assessed the participants.
Ridehesten reported that this year the format for team selection was slightly different. Normally the long listed horses are announced after each age division but this year some riders rode on different days due to overlapping selections in other nations and exams for student riders.
The long-listed horses are invited to a final team selection trial on 1 - 2 July in Vilhelmsborg.
