With less than three years to the Olympics in Paris, there is now an extra focus on optimizing the elite setup within senior dressage. This means that from end of 2021, Danish national federation will replace the current national coaching role with a team of recognized expert profiles within international top dressage. The team will be affiliated with the national team team on an activity basis, and will act as advisors and sparring partners for the riders and their daily coaches. At the same time, it unfortunately means a farewell as of today to current national coach Nathalie zu Sayn-Wittgenstein.

Expert team

There is still no set-up and no names for the new Danish expert team.

Will the experts be equal? Will the new elite manager (still not appointed) be the future selector? Will the experts be from abroad? Will the experts be some of the daily trainers of the riders? With ex experts from abroad will/can they fully support the Danish riders when looking deep into the fight for the medals or spots for the big championships?

A lot of questions currently without answers, but next summer we all cross our fingers for Danish medals at home soil in Herning.
