The name of the cross country course designer, Germany’s Rüdiger Schwarz, has been known for some time and plenty of work has already been done with the line of the course established and the concepts of the fences already complete.
Rüdiger designed the 2013 European Championship course at Malmo in Sweden and is well known for his courses at Aachen with their thrilling finishing format. The dynamic event organiser of the usual Strzegom Horse Trials, Marcin Konarski will be the Assistant Course Designer on this occasion but the Jumping Course Designer is yet to be appointed by the Organising Committee
