This 2-day forum will include Training Sessions as well as a lecture series including the following topics:

Angelika Fromming is an exceptional horsewoman in her own right. She is a retired international 4* judge and has ridden with some of Germany's best trainers (like Paul Riemann, Heinrich Boldt, Udo Nesch, Willi Schultheis, and Ottokar Pohlmann). Angelika enjoyed an illustrious competition career which in turn led her down the path of becoming an international judge. "From my own experience as a competition rider I can only advise every competitor to take part in judges' seminars," she remarks. "They give a more objective view on everything and one's own riding improves significantly due to this."

Angelika has been judging since the mid-1980s and was named an FEI I-Judge a decade later. Until her retirement in 2008, she was responsible for judges' training and examination, learning not only to give marks but to justify and explain them in a manner from which the rider can profit. She adheres strictly to classical principles.
