Linda Zang

Linda Zang of Idlewilde Farm in Davidsonville, Maryland, has represented the United States as a dressage competitor at the 1978 World Championships, the 1979 Pan-American Games and the 1980 Alternate Olympics at Goodwood, England.

She has been an FEI judge since 1985 and is currently one of only a handful of “O” FEI dressage judges in this country. An FEI “O” rating is the highest rating a judge can obtain. “O” judges are qualified to judge various levels of international competition, including World Championships and the Olympics. She was one of the dressage judges at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta.

Those vaccinations must have been administered not more than 6 months preceding the clinic date. In addition, before any horse is allowed on the clinic premises, participants will be required to provide the following for each horse attending:

  • a current Health Certificate
    • and
  • a current Coggins Test
    • .

These requirements are stringently enforced by the Hedgeland facility to protect their breeding stock.

Information on auditing the exciting clinic will be coming out soon, so stay tuned for further updates!
