During the Global Dressage Forum, which will be held on Monday 29 and Tuesday 30 October at Academy Bartels, FEI “O” judge Stephen Clarke (GBR) will lead the evaluation of several tests of the European Championship in Torino.  Together with colleague Vincenzo Truppa (ITA) and Wim Ernes (NED) they will explain the scores. Points of view will be discussed with the public present, among them top riders and trainers. The goal of this evaluation is to make the judges’s score more transparent. The times that judges and riders did not discuss how exercises should be performed, are over. The trend to explain the judges’s views in public, which was also was promoted through the evaluations during the Global Dressage Forum, have contributed positively to this transparency.

The Global Dressage Forum is annually visited by top riders, trainers, judges and enthusiastic dressage fans. If you are interested to visit this event, you will find all information on the website: If you have any further question you can call: +31 13 509 1666.
