FEI Eventing Officials Courses Sydney 2025

Equestrian Australia proudly hosted two comprehensive FEI Eventing Officials Courses from 20–23 November, held in conjunction with the Sydney International Horse Trials at the Sydney International Equestrian Centre (SIEC). The program drew strong international interest and provided valuable development opportunities for current and aspiring FEI Officials.

The first course catered to Technical Delegates, Course Designers, and Judges, attracting 22 attendees from Australia, USA, New Zealand, Denmark, India, and Finland. Participants benefitted from the expertise of three highly respected FEI Course Directors Anne-Mette Binder (DEN) – Judge Specialis, Stuart Buntine (GBR) – Course Designer Specialist and Kristof Verlinden (BEL) – Technical Delegate Specialist.
