British 5* judge Andrew Gardner has been appointed a member on the FEI Dressage Committee. His appointment was approved at the FEI Bureau Meeting in Montevideo, Uruguay, on 18 November.
Andrew Gardner will be replacing outgoing member Maribel Alonso (MEX). Mexican 5* judge Alonso was appointed on the FEI Dressage Committee in November 2013, replacing outgoing member Anne Gribbons at the time.
Gardner became a 5*/O-judge in 2011.
Andrew juggles his judging with practising full time as a Chartered Surveyor in Cardiff. He’s a professional member and examiner for the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and is a Fellow of the Royal Society for Arts. His judging career started some 30 years ago. Part of the working party that formed British Dressage and a past Board Director, Andrew was Chairman of Judges for two terms and in 2011 he sat on the committee overseeing judge training and examinations.
