Dressage Judges

Dressage judges evaluate a horse and rider's performance based on specific guidelines that measure harmony, precision, and grace. They observe how well the horse responds to the rider’s commands, performs movements like transitions and circles, and maintains correct posture and balance. Judges score each element on a scale, considering overall presentation, suppleness, and rhythm. Their goal is to assess how seamlessly the horse and rider work as a unified team, aiming for fluidity and elegance. Their scores determine rankings in competitions, helping to recognize excellence in horsemanship and training.
