FEI Eventing Officials Courses Sydney

Equestrian Australia hosted a FEI Eventing Course for Judges, Technical Delegates and Course designers from 9th – 12th November, which was held alongside the Sydney International Horse Trials at the Sydney International Equestrian Centre (SIEC)

Attendees representing USA, NZL and AUS, learnt a great deal from Course Directors Christina Klingspor (SWE), David O'Connor (USA) and Lars Christensson (SWE).

The Course Directors gave invaluable insights to those who attended with a fantastic mix of classroom and practical based experience. The course saw all attendees either fulfil refreshing requirements, or making the next steps for upgrades, making for a successful program. Many commenting (including the Course Directors) "it was the best FEI Eventing Officials Course they have ever attended" testament to EA and its staff's attention to detail  to provide a world class venue for learning.

The course utilised some very experienced guest speakers, including Chris Ross (NZL) 3DE course Designer and TD Darryl Burgess, Jumping Course Designer John Vallance and athlete representation from Andrew Barnett the eventual winner of the CCI4*L. The speakers were well received and provided valuable insight to the event.
