A change has been carried out to the Judging Supervisory Panel that will officiate at the 2026 World Championships Dressage in Aachen in two weeks.
In November 2025 the FEI appointed the ground jury and officials for the World Championships. At the time the assigned JSP members were Andrew Gardner (GBR), Evi Eisenhardt (GER), and Mary Seefried (AUS).
The FEI has now confirmed to Eurodressage that German 5* judge Evi Eisenhardt will not be taking up the role.
"Evi Eisenhardt (GER) has voluntarily withdrawn from the JSP Panel which will officiate at the upcoming FEI Dressage World Championship in Aachen (GER) and will be replaced by Henk van Bergen (NED)," an FEI spokesperson explained.
The FEI further added that "this change will be published in the updated Competition Schedule which will be published later this week."
