I know AA can silent audit the clinic, no problem (but you still have to pay, so I was thinking, that's dumb to pay to take the class and not be allowed to take the exam!). L Graduates can judge schooling shows, so maybe I got messed up in the purpose of the program- to prepare for the r and to judge schooling shows? I donno. Either way, it got all murky looking and I was like, ehhhh. To be honest, if I went to the trouble and couple thousand to get my L, I'd use it to judge locally!<br /><br />I am totally thrilled with how Penn performed- he was definitely up to snuff, and I think it just irks me to have inconsistent judging (why no half marks?), but I'm not willing to pay mounds of money to ride Training Level at a recognized show. That and I've NEVER gotten a 70%+ in a straight dressage test. I've gotten numerous below 30 scores at events, schooling and recognized, but I just don't count those. I want my 70% dammit.Codex Dressagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736021620789376995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-19128409567874894992016-04-06T15:25:49.339-04:002016-04-06T15:25:49.339-04:00That's so weird that you'd lose your AA st...That's so weird that you'd lose your AA status, I feel like I know an L grad who is still an AA. Maybe I'm wrong though. <br /><br />I know what you mean- TC is being held to a higher standard than Rico ever was at Training. I'm in the opposite boat though because TC is not as nice a horse as Rico is. But Rico got away with being questionably on the bit for years! TC gets no such luxury.

First time in the ring, so Penn does his looking at that time while I get my head in the game. I don't think that's a trend that will continue on though. Fewer points available doesn't help either.<br /><br />I like your analysis of the judges! Can't we make that FEI judge go to schooling shows? Haha!Codex Dressagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736021620789376995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-75298204488174251702016-04-06T12:15:53.839-04:002016-04-06T12:15:53.839-04:00Haha ok, I guess I'm doing stats now too!

Until I saw the costs and that I'd lose my AA status if I went to take the tests... and I'm not paying all that money to take the classes and not take the tests!<br /><br />I'm wondering if things were always this way at training level when I showed it with Mikey? He was never as well put together as Penn, and I was always thrilled because he'd done something right! Poor Penn- I have higher expectations for him!<br /><br />Absolutely, I still see value in going to the schooling shows! I have 3 more on the schedule for this year. We need to practice 1-2 and 1-3!Codex Dressagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736021620789376995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-76695568547294199482016-04-06T12:11:35.824-04:002016-04-06T12:11:35.824-04:00It helps feed my addiction, lol.It helps feed my addiction, lol.Codex Dressagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736021620789376995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-57553244294364601972016-04-06T12:11:15.346-04:002016-04-06T12:11:15.346-04:00Thank you!Thank you!Codex Dressagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736021620789376995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-70965774173831502752016-04-06T12:08:34.431-04:002016-04-06T12:08:34.431-04:00Interesting that T1 is your lowest %. Wonder why? ...Interesting that T1 is your lowest %. Wonder why? Fewer points overall? Bad test for you two?<br /><br />I agree with Megan wholeheartedly on the judges thing. You'll find the more qualified a judge is (FEI 4* being my favorite), the higher their score % is for the lower-mid levels. I think it's because they see more, and see how the tests are supposed to look higher up. In other words, a judge used to judging Grand Prix isn't going to expect your 3rd level horse to have a GP flying change or half pass. A judge for whom 3rd is the highest level they see? Probably always going to think "this should be better" and score, on average, lower.Austenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13004088333430762406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4010353728052033100.post-18216239021019549322016-04-06T11:50:21.693-04:002016-04-06T11:50:21.693-04:00Yah I vote for statistics too!
Ugh we call these...Yah I vote for statistics too! <br /><br />Ugh we call these sorts of judges "six-seven judges" where they stay in a tiny little range and everyone ends up scoring the same for vastly different tests. <br /><br />My opinion on the judging, which everyone has heard numerous times, is that many L graduates (technically they are not considered judges) just aren't experienced enough. They don't have the amount of training that r/R/S judges have. L graduates can judge at schooling shows without even passing their tests- you just can't move on to the r program without passing. <br /><br />All you have to do to become an L graduate is some money and a few (3) scores at Second level. Versus an r judge needs five scores with four different judges at 65%+ at Fourth level or above. To be an L graduate, you don't even need your Bronze, versus there are people even with their Gold Medals (since you can get that with scores below 65) that are not able to become an r judge. <br /><br />But hey it's fun and good experience to do schooling shows. They definitely have their time and place. But I just don't trust the judging at most of them.
