Managed by experienced event organizer Thomas Baur (GER), the CDI at ESC Olomouc has a strong organisation team with Michaela Smrčková at the helm. 

"Three years ago, the Equine Sport Center Olomouc complex was a newcomer in dressage," said Smrčková, "but our organizing team quickly became familiar with this discipline and, thanks to our rich experience in show jumping, we were able to turn the venue into a popular place for dressage shows in a short time."

Smrčková continued, "we are thrilled to be hosting our first international dressage competition and with the help of Thomas Baur are sure this show will run smoothly as a competition for riders and by riders."
