EEF Opens National Eventing Officials Training Academy

Following the success of the first national dressage officials course run earlier this year, the EEF are proud to open registration for the next course targeted at national eventing officials and technical delegates.

The course will be run online over 9 lessons followed by an in-person training. The goals of the program are to:

• Identify and educate individuals with the potential to become national eventing officials.
• Establish a structured system for their training and development.
• Create a collaborative network for the education and cooperation of national eventing officials.
• Offer opportunities for judging practice through video analysis and live events.
• Support selected officials at the FEI entry level on their journey towards becoming international judges.

For this edition we are fortunate to count on tutors with ample experience that will guide participants through this course:

• Katrin Eichinger-Kniely (AUT)

A highly respected Eventing FEI Judge Level 4, Katrin brings knowledge and experience to the course. Most recently, she was a ground jury member at the FEI European Championships 2023, underscoring her role in top-level international competitions.

• Marcin Konarski (POL)

Renowned Technical Delegate and Course Designer FEI Level 4. He was the Technical Delegate for the 2024 Olympic Games, solidifying his reputation for excellence in delivering world-class equestrian events.

Together, Katrin and Marcin provide a fantastic learning opportunity for aspiring and established eventing officials alike.
