Sounds fun! I'd have to be a spectator, though.
...wait, would the videos/pictures be posted here? Or...?

[Dolphinlover~]

I'm so glad that everyone likes the idea ^^ I thought it would be fun :3 Well I think we could do hunter classes, if people would like because you can judge certain things from a photo...For instance tucking in the knees, having the knees even, ect. Only if people want though ;D

Yeah I was thinking something along the lines of eq classes possibly hunter if people would enter...also western classes and dressage too. Just a wide varity for classes to enter. I also think that it may be a good idea to ask the mods if it is okay.

I think it would be great to start making a list of classes now! I would love to do that and cordinate the whole thing ;D Then we will have to pick judges for each class, and I don't think it would be fair for someone to judge a class that they entered in. Yay! This is so exciting!

What if it was judged on like a 10-point scale, with a criteria, and then the scores from each judge are put together and averaged for each person. That would mean that you could enter a class that you are judging, you just wouldn't judge yourself, the other judges would judge you. If that makes any sense at all.


In the meantime, would anyone like to see a video of me and Jesse?

I think that is a good idea, depending on the critiera though...Because in some cases it may be easier not to use a point scale or whatnot. Yeah that makes sense, but I think it would be easier if you didn't judge for the classes you entered because that would mean one less judge judged you (if you judged the class you entered) xD I don't know if that made any sense either I think we should just appoint judges for each class (by who wants to judge what).

I would love to see the video!

[Toppyrocks]

Dolphin- Yeah that made sense, no worries. I thought about that too. Dunno how we would solve that problem, so it'd probably be best to just have people not judge anything they enter.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8KTyRuavFU That's the video. It was an entry for a contest I'm in, hence the title and the labels. Since then I've fixed my hands, as they are much too low in that video. I'm going to try and get some new video soon, because having my hands down I think makes everything looks worse. Plus I can get a much better extended canter now that I'd love to show off, because Jesse is just sooo flashy with his legs it's crazy.

That's good to know xD I think the way to solve that problem is just to, like you said, not have anyone judge in the classes they enter ;D

You both look really nice!! I don't know much about dressage, so my critiques may not be valid, so sorry about that I was going to comment about your hands being too low but you already know that ;D The only other thing I would say is to keep a little more bend in your elbows, but I think raising your hands should help with that. Other than that you guys look wonderful! I love your sitting trot by the way~

[Toppyrocks]

Thanks! Yeah, I'm trying to focus on keeping my elbows more at a 90 degree angle, which raises my hands quite a bit. As for the sitting trot, well, it's a combination of lots of practice, my trainer drilling it into us about a year ago which included lots of no-stirrup work, and now Jesse helps very much. I don't know if I've ever ridden a horse smoother then him. Even his extended trot is sit-able.

Ok my dad and i was looking at my grandpas horse on the other side of the fence and he wanted to pet her so he clicked at her but she wouldn't come to him but when i did it she did...YAY she loves me XD

It really depends on what kind of show, where it is, who's hosting it etc. There's a chance there will be and a chance their won't be. If it's a breed show, like hosted by and Arabian or Paint horse association then there likely would be, other then that, who knows. Best to check the class list of the show you are going to.
