Britains Stephen Clarke has been appointed president of the dressage ground jury at the Alltech FEI Jumping and Dressage Championships, which take place in the private grounds of Windsor Castle, 25-30 August 2009.
Stephen Clarke was a successful rider competing up to international level before
becoming a highly-respected trainer and judge. He was only the second
British dressage judge to officiate at an Olympic Games (Athens 2004).
He has judged at the World Equestrian Games, Senior, Junior and Young
Rider European Championships and World Cup finals.
"I'm flattered to have been appointed, but all the other members of the judging panel are equally qualified," said Stephen, who is currently working in Florida and will be judging at the first show of the new Exquis World Dressage Masters series at Wellington, on 28-31 January.
He was chosen by the former FEI dressage committee and will be the only one of the team of judges who will officiate in all three tests: the grand prix, grand prix special and freestyle.
