FEI Dressage and Para-Equestrian Dressage Director Trond Asmyr has left the FEI due to health reasons. The Norwegian-born Dressage specialist has been on long-term sick leave since August 2015.

Trond Asmyr joined the FEI as Dressage and Para-Equestrian Dressage Director in June 2009 after more than 15 years as an international Dressage judge and 30 years judging on the national circuit in Norway. He was Vice President of the Norwegian Equestrian Federation and was on the Board of Directors of the National Federation for more than a decade.

During his time at the FEI he attended the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, two editions of the FEI World Equestrian Games™, other FEI Championships and multiple FEI World Cup™ Finals. He was also pivotal in implementing the recommendations of the Dressage Task Force, created after the 2008 Olympic Games, and initiated the 2010 round table on hyperflexion with the major stakeholder groups which resulted in the redrafting of the FEI Dressage Rules on training techniques.
