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.
