historic venues is what will make your trip even more special.

world-famous castles and cathedrals, Ku(rfrsten)damm and many more
stops like Alexanderplatz. Hopping on and off is possible,

WorldRanking: increased requirements as of 2014 After 15 years of
WorldRanking the Sport Committee has decided that it is time to
renew the requirements for WorldRanking Events. It would also help
organisers to ensure that the event is meeting international
standards. The aim is still to keep results comparable and that
judging is done in a proper way. For many organisers the changes
will not have any effect, as these requirements are already met.
The changes include: - 3 in stead of 2 international sport judges
in WorldRanking tests, at least one having his/her residence in
another country, - the time that judges are judging has to be
limited to reasonable hours, to ensure proper judging. -
equipment/injury checks on all horses in the finals and at least
25% of the horses in preliminary rounds in WorldRanking tests - in
order to keep results in especially Five Gait F1 and F2 comparable,
only 250 m oval tracks are allowed (no 200 m or P-tracks) - it is
mandatory that the speaker announces in English (as well) or at
least in a language all judges (and preferably riders and public)
can understand Open Sport Judges Seminar The sport judges' test to
become a FEIF Licensed Sport Judge or National Sport Judge, will be
organised by FEIF from October 3-4, 2013 at Kronshof, Dahlenburg,
Germany (near Hamburg). Contact your national Sport leader if you
are interested in taking the test. FEIF Events until 23 November
