Christine Bradfield Achieves FEI Level 2 Jump Judge Accreditation
Equestrian Queensland congratulates Christine Bradfield on successfully attaining her FEI Level 2 Jump Judge accreditation, following her participation in the FEI Level 2 Showjumping Transfer Up Course held in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, from 15–17 April 2025.
Hosted by the United Arab Emirates Equestrian & Racing Federation, the course brought together 13 participants from 10 nations, including representatives from Iraq, Korea, Malaysia, Czech Republic, Jordan, Italy, China, and Australia. The course was facilitated by Stephan Ellenbrach (Germany) and Carsten Soerlie (Norway)—both esteemed figures in the international equestrian judging community.
The intensive three-day program included comprehensive written examinations on the first two days, followed by an oral examination on the final day. Participants also benefited from the facilitators’ vast experience and insights, with valuable opportunities for discussion, learning, and international networking.
Christine was joined by fellow Australians Angela Hodgetts (Victoria) and Helen Ashby (Victoria), who also successfully completed the course. Their achievement reflects a strong Australian presence on the international officiating stage and demonstrates the ongoing commitment to excellence in equestrian sport.
Christine’s accreditation as an FEI Level 2 Jump Judge is a testament to her dedication, professionalism, and expertise. We congratulate her on this significant milestone and look forward to her continued contribution to the sport, both nationally and internationally.
