The CDI Sydney has always had an impressive line-up of judges according to its organizers. This year is no exception. With five FEI 5* O-judges on the judging panel, the CDI Sydney boasts to have the ‘strongest’ ground jury ever.
Eight Nations will be represented on the Judging panel:
Stephen Clarke (President of the Ground Jury), FEI 5* Judge from Great Britain.
Maribel Alonso (FEI Foreign Judge), FEI 5* Judge from Mexico
Peter Holler, FEI 5* Judge from Germany
Victoire Mandl, FEI 4* from Austria
Kurt Christiansen - FEI 4* from Denmark
Jan Bird - FEI 4* from New Zealand
Charlotte Bredahl - FEI 3* judge from the USA
Leading judges from throughout Australia will also officiate including Australia's two FEI 5* Judges, Mary Seefried and Susan Hoevenaars, Ricky MacMillan (4*), Jane Ventura (3*) and Gisela Nilsson-Harding (3*).
The Grand Prix riders are in for a special treat of riding in front of a panel of five 5* Judges. The last time this happened in Australia was at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games!
Stephen Clarke will be President of the Ground Jury, Maribel Alonso will also be on the judging panel and Mary Seefried will be on the Appeal Committee for London.
