Fédération Equestre Internationale officials named Linda Zang as the new president of the ground jury at the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games after Anne Gribbons accepted the position of U.S. Technical Advisor.
Gribbons was scheduled to judge at the WEG, but her new job would create a conflict of interest.
