The Swedish nominations for the Olympic Games in dressage and eventing were announced yesterday. Among them is Cato by Contendro I-Heraldik xx (ZG Schmidt, Naumburg), ridden by Louise Romeike and owned by Hinrich Romeike, the 2008 Olympic champion and current chairman of the Holstein Equestrian Association. The pair most recently attracted attention with a fourth-place finish at the CCI4* S in Luhmühlen. Wieloch’s Utah Son by Limbus-Cor de la Bryère (Hans Thomsen, Hörup) will accompany Cato into quarantine.

As soon as the teams for all disciplines have been nominated, we will report on which Holsteiners are travelling to Tokyo.
