Concours de Dressage International
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Concours de Dressage International (CDI) is the competition rating for international dressage events. The rating is given by the equestrian governing body FEI.[1][2]
A CDI is divided from one to five stars. The height of the star depends on the class in which the rider competes and the prize money.[3]
- CDI5*: Big Tour (Minimum of prizemoney €72'200, no maximum)
- CDI4*: Big Tour (Minimum of prizemoney €19'200 and maximum of prizemoney €71'099)
- CDI3*: Big Tour (Maximum of prizemoney €19'199, no minimum)
- CDI2*: Medium Tour (No minimum nor maximum prizemoney)
- CDI1*: Small Tour (No minimum nor maximum prizemoney)
To be able to organize a CDI5* you must first have organized a CDI4*. Only when a positive report has been released on the CDI4* by the Foreign Judge can a CDI5* be organized.
