Emile Faurie, a member of the record breaking gold medal winning English team at this year’s European Dressage Championships will attend next year’s PSI Dressage & Jumping with the Stars as the international dressage “star” at the CDI-W in Werribee, Australia.
Emile’s international career has spanned almost two decades, representing Great Britian at European and World Championships and at two Olympic Games. Career highlights include an individual bronze and team silver in the 1993 European Championships, team bronze at the 2003 Europeans and of course, this year’s team gold medal. Emile is also a British Dressage judge and coach of the National Start and Potential squad. He is highly regarded as a Young Horse judge, having judged the finals four years in a row at the UK Young Horse Championships and also the finals of the Dutch Young Horse Championships in 2009. As a competitor he has the enviable record of having twice won the 4yo and 5yo Championships at the UK Young Horse Championships with the same horse, one of which (Wild at Heart) went onto a top 10 placing at the World Young Horse Championships.
At DJWTS, Emile will be guest riding the young horse finalists in each age group and presenting the Saddleworld Dressage Masterclass. The audience can look forward to an informative and entertaining masterclass from an internationally successful rider who has himself trained with some of Europe’s legendary trainers.
