As of December 1st 2011, We will have half points in dressage judging. This includes all test movements and collective marks. Are we excited about this?
Rule: DR122.8 (370-11)
So the scale is now:
10-Excellent (forget about it dreamers)
9-Very Good (perfect to us non S judges)
8- Good (awesome)
7-Fairly Good (great for a non warmblood)
6-Satisfactory (didn't get excited but didn't see anything wrong)
5-Marginal (you screwed up somewhere)
4-Insufficient (bummer)
3-Fairly Bad (not good)
2-Bad (forget the test?)
1-Very Bad (stop beating your horse)
And now all the .5 points will include thoughts from the judges like:
"I'm not sure I was watching--give her a 6.5"
I'm interested in your thoughts and how you think this will affect us all.
Hi

Glad to have cleared that up for you. I also like to follow our judges for rated shows. So if you were at a rated show in Region 4, please sign on to Linked-In and join the Region4Dressage Judges Group and tell us what you thought of the judging.
