I am excited now to be a judge and ground jurist at One and Three Day Events. Having retired as an international Three Day Event rider, I am thrilled still to be participating in the sport of Eventing – but now as a judge. My competitive experience informs much of my judging, and I therefore feel I can relate to riders’ issues, such as the fairness of the overall test, consistency in marking and dealing fairly with riders’ issues.
So far, I have judged a number of national One Day Events of all levels as well as several CCIs and CICs. In 2008, I was invited to and judged at Houghton, Blair Castle and Weston Park CCIs and Knaptoft, Hutton-in-the-Forest CICs. It is fascinating to see our great sport from the other side of the fence! I never realized when riding how much effort and expertise is required and the number of unpaid volunteers involved.
I am now a List 3A Dressage Judge. With more experience, my long-term goal is to become an International FEI judge and therefore to be able to judge at all levels of national and international Events.
I am delighted to have been invited to be on the ground jury with Christian Landolt (SUI) at the inaugural Blenheim CIC*** for 8 and 9 year old horses in 2009.
