Sweden is one of the best dressage-nations with very good riders and horses. All the top-riders I know from the international shows and a few of them have already trained at my barn. It is a pleasure for me to work with them”, says Schmidt.

Sweden is among the highest ranked dressage nations with team bronze at the Europeans in 2005 as well as 2007. At the Olympic Games in 2008 the team finished at the fourth rank.
