Over 200,000 people ride a dressage test each year in Britain and whether it is for the Pony club, a riding club, eventing or international dressage, there is much to be learnt from understanding the judge's perspective.
In recent years, dressage has been the fastest expanding equestrian discipline in Britian and many other countries around the world. This means that this number of 200,000 is likely to grow and, as a result, more people will need to know how to earn the marks in the arena and more judges will be needed to assess the tests.
Judging dressage is a big subject and in this guide the author has covered it in a concise, straightforward and clear way. This book is the ideal introduction to judging dressage and a valuable reference book for judges, riders and trainers.
