Neither of Sweden's top performers in Falsterbo – Patrik Kittel and Juliette Ramel – will compete in Aachen, but the team's prospects will be ably represented by a selection that includes Ramel's elder sister, Antonia.

Denmark's Daniel Bachmann Andersen, who won the Grand Prix and freestyle titles in Falsterbo, is entered.

Among those representing the host team will be Helen Langehanenberg, ranked fourth in the world, who won individual silver and team gold at the 2014 World Equestrian Games in Caen.
