In the dressage phase, unlike a normal dressage test, we are not assessing the current state of training and marks are not given for individual movements. The judge may watch from wherever he will get the best view. Most judges prefer to position themselves down the long side to help assess the true suppleness, natural ability to engage the hind legs and acceptance of the bit. Three correct, scopey and regular gaits are what we are seeking. The Judges will have to weigh up the influence of the rider; a good rider may present a well-balanced, smooth test from perhaps a moderate, unscopey horse whereas a less skilled rider may not make a good horse’s attributes obvious. However, as judges we will have to remind ourselves that it is the horse's, and not the rider's attributes we are evaluating. In the jumping phase we are looking for a bold athletic horse with good technique. A horse with these qualities, should not necessarily be penalised for knocking down one fence (or a four year old having one refusal), providing they demonstrate they react positively afterwards. Especially in the early part of the season, four year olds may find it easier to jump some fences out of trot. Notwithstanding the above, 3 cumulative refusals or a fall of horse or rider must result in elimination. Five year old gallop/Four year old potential to gallop: immediately following the jumping, the 5 year old horses will be required to gallop. The 4 year olds will only be required to show a forward moving canter indicating they have the potential to gallop with further maturity and development. The horse’s conformation and quality should enable him/her to withstand the demands of the sport in terms of soundness, speed and stamina. Lack of quality and other defects which might indicate limited stamina or speed should be penalised, even though the horse may be a nice dressage or show jumping prospect. However, a lack of size should not be held against him/her. Equally one should not allow a possible prejudice against mares to affect any judgement. The conformation should be marked out of 12 and the quality marked out of 8 to achieve a published total score out of 20. The marks from all four sections will be added to give the final score and placings.
