The new FEI Education System for Jumping Officials will be the key feature of an official FEI Refresher Course for Jumping Judges which will be held on January 29, 2011 in Zurich, the venue of the ninth leg of the Rolex FEI World Cup™.

A record number of participants – 160 FEI Officials from 45 countries on five continents – have confirmed their attendance. The course, directed by FEI Jumping Committee chairman Sven Holmberg and International Show Jumping Officials Club (ISJC) president Stephan Ellenbruch, will also include updates on FEI legal and veterinary matters. A seminar for Jumping Stewards and Course Designers will also be held in Zurich.

The general assembly of the ISJC will take place on the same day at the invitation of the Swiss Equestrian Federation and the organising committee of Mercedes-CSI Zurich.
