She was promoted onto the National Panel in 2004. Claire has judged with a number of visiting FEI judges both in SA and in neighbouring countries. During her riding career she has taken several horses to advanced level. She have Transvaal colours, Gauteng colours and two FEI World Challenge certificates.
