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 – 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 [...]

Judge My Ride Premium Evaluations – Olivia Lawton and Chubby

Olivia Lawton and Chubby—September 30, 2011 From: Judge Carol Dean-Porter It is very difficult to see the far end of the ring because the videographer is stationed at ground level and did not operate the “zoom” function of the camera. For future reference, if one can video (or photograph) from an elevated vantage point, the [...]

Judge My Ride Premium Evaluations – Lauren Maruskin and Bell

Lauren Maruskin and Bell—September 16, 2011 From: Judge Carol Dean-Porter This mare is very refined for a Hanoverian. She is a lovely hunter type. Her expression is beautiful. She has a lovely crest, which will look fancy when braided up. Double check your standing martingale adjustment and be sure to pull the upper part snug [...]
