We are proud to share that NorCordia partner Cecilia Bergåkra and her long-time partner Izack have been named to the Swedish national dressage team’s Grand Prix B-squad. The updated squads were recently announced by the Swedish Equestrian Federation under new team captain Stefan Jansson.
Selection to the B-squad requires consistent performances at Grand Prix level with minimum scores of 68% nationally and 67% internationally. Cecilia secured her place following a series of strong results this season, including a silver medal at the Swedish Championships with Izack.
“I have dreamed of being in the senior squad ever since I made my Grand Prix debut as a teenager,” Cecilia shares. “When Izack and I won the Swedish Championship silver this summer, it confirmed that we belong at this level. Having ridden him from junior years all the way to senior Grand Prix makes this moment incredibly special.”
Cecilia continues to shine not only with Izack, but also with Maya, with whom she remains on the U25 national team’s A-squad. Balancing two top-level horses across different squads is a remarkable achievement and speaks to Cecilia’s dedication and ability as a rider.
Team NorCordia is excited to celebrate this milestone with Cecilia. We look forward to following her journey as she continues to grow at the very top of the sport.
Cecilia Bergåkra and Izack
