The fight for the 2021 European dressage championships medals is set to be as competitive as ever as the biennial championships head to Hagen in Germany. At the 2019 Championships in Rotterdam, Germany demonstrated her strength and depth in the sport once again retaining a clean sweep of team and individual golds. While the country will be without Isabell Werth’s brilliant Bella Rose in Hagen, as she retired from competition after the Tokyo Olympics, few would bet against them retaining the gold medals this time around.
