We have our Ground Jury for this year’s FEI Eventing World Championship, set to be held at Aachen August 13-16 during the first few days of the two-week competition. We already knew our course designer would be Italy’s Giuseppe della Chiesa, who designed Aachen’s 4*-S course in 2025 and also designed the 2022 World Championships at Pratoni del Vivaro.
The following FEI officials have been designated to work these World Championships:
Ground Jury President: Anne-Mette Binder (DEN)
Ground Jury Member: Peter Gray (CAN)
Ground Jury Member: Joanne Jarden (IRL)
Technical Delegate: Phillip Surl (GER)
Chief Steward: Caroline Farwick (GER)
You’ll be able to view more information on the World Championships here as we get closer to the event. Qualifications opened on January 1, 2025 and will go through the close of nominated entries in July of 2026. Stay tuned for much more coming your way as the year begins and we look ahead in earnest to our next major Championship!
