Swedish warmblood

The Swedish equestrian federation and Swedish warmblood have made their final team of horses for the World Championships for young dressage horses in Verden on 5 - 9 August 2026.

A short list was announced almost two weeks ago with 8 horses selected per age category. This has now been brought down to a final four per division as Swedish Warmblood is eligble to send four horses per group based on the size of its studbook.
