Judge My Ride Premium Evaluation – Caroline Shaw and Quenotte des Lacs
That was a somewhat unusual course, in that it had almost no oxers! That’s not your fault, you can only do what you are asked….and you and your horse DID IT GREAT! I loved your even pace throughout that kind of long course…
Judge My Ride Premium Evaluation – Sasha Suskind Moran and Forrest
First I have to tell you that I am a huge Thoroughbred fan. There is nothing with more heart! I am sure he is super fast across the ground and will be very tough to beat in jump offs. He appears to be well muscled and conditioned…
Judge My Ride Premium Evaluations – Laura Maynard and Rex
Laura Maynard and Panache—February 17, 2012 From: Judge Carol Dean-Porter Laura, your horse is a bit frisky but I never mind a bit of playfulness. They are not machines! He has a wonderful natural rhythm and jumps in nice form. For the show ring, a few minutes on the lunge line might let him blow [...]
Judge My Ride Premium Evaluations – Julie Stewart Tucei
What a beautiful head carriage. To be honest, I would have liked to have seen the entire costume. I like how well you have him moving forward…that is a well established trot. Unless it is standard in these classes, you carry your hands flat….like you are playing the piano.
Judge My Ride Premium Evaluations – Stefan Parker and Miss M
From: Judge Robert Gage This horse drops her head down more than most horses do, so it’s a good thing this rider has such a long release. I notice he uses his arms down along the top of this horse’s shoulders. Not every rider can do this. I usually recommend a crest release for most [...]
Judge My Ride Premium Evaluations – Michaela Lee and Delenn
This is a terrific photo. Delenn is giving a wonderful effort. Just look at his front legs, and how well he has his knees up & folded….doesn’t get any better than that!
Judge My Ride Premium Evaluations – Jennifer Mosher Gordon and Piper
Jennifer Mosher Gordon and Piper—November 11, 2011 From: Judge Robert Gage This is a lovely horse, well turned out, and quite shiny! I like that the point of her haunch is the same height as her withers. Her hind end is round with very good muscle tone. Therefore, I am surprised, that her tummy kind [...]
Judge My Ride Premium Evaluations – Ronnie Hodgkinson and Willy Jump the Moon
Ronnie Hodgkinson and Willy Jump the Moon—October 28, 2011 From: Guest Judge Deborah Rosen I know the Woodside event very well, so first, Ronnie, let me congratulate you on your move- up to Training Level on this impressive course! Overall, this is an incredible photo. This large table is towards the end of the course [...]
Judge My Ride Premium Evaluations – Kendall Bogese and Radiant Sky
Kendall Bogese and Radiant Sky—October 14, 2011 From: Judge Rob Gage I watched this round 3 times Kendall. I thought it was an unusual course. You don’t see too many hunter courses incorporate two triple lines! I liked your opening circle, and how you just fell into the canter smoothly from the trot to the [...]
Judge My Ride Premium Evaluations – Molly Basney and Buddy
Molly Basney and Buddy—October 14, 2011 From: Guest Judge Deborah Rosen The first thing I’d like to say to Molly is that if this is Buddy’s first cross country schooling you are a very lucky girl! His expression is one of enjoyment and enthusiasm. His shape is good, especially in the front end. He is [...]
