Australian judge Mary Seefried.
Australian judge Mary Seefried has been announced as part of the Judges Supervisory Panel (JSP) for the FEI World Cup Dressage Final in Las Vegas, 2020.
Mary Seefried is a highly respected member of the dressage community both in Australia and internationally. She has been a national dressage judge for over 30 years and has served as an FEI5* dressage judge for 20 years. Seefried became the first Australian ever to judge at an Olympic Games, something that was especially poignant in that it was on home ground at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. She was the Reserve Judge for the 2012 London Olympics. In 2013, Seefried was appointed as a member of the FEI JSP – the first non-European judge to take a seat on the panel since the establishment of the JSP in 2011. She was a member of the JSP for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games and will be the Foreign Technical Delegate at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.
Joining Mary on the JSP in Vegas will be Henk van Bergen of The Netherlands and Linda Zang of the USA. Maribel Alonso of Mexico will be the Foreign Technical Delegate.
The Ground Jury has also been named, with Anne Gribbons of the USA to be President. Joining her will be Ground Jury Members Irina Maknami of Russia, Elke Ebert of Germany, Raphaël Saleh of France, Eddy De Wolff of The Netherlands, Susanne Baarup of Denmark, and Peter Storr of Great Britain. First Reserve will be Maria Colliander of Finland, with Susie Hoevenaars of Australia as Second Reserve (Non-Traveling).
Mary Seefried was part of the JSP at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.
