I was doing it to impress my fellow competitors! LOL!<BR/><BR/>Neat, properly fitted clothes that are correct attire for your division are definitely important. But price and brand? No. There is so much going on when you're judging: you're marking the score card, scribbling notes, talking to the announcer over the walkie-talkie... The last thing you're doing is trying to decipher what brand of breeches someone is wearing or how old their riding boots might be.<BR/><BR/>As for colored horses: I pin the horse that does best. Period. And I know that most-- not all-- of my friends who are judges do the same. I think that's because I personally have owned some really nice horses that were paints, pintos, half-Arabs, and appaloosas and they did hunters and huntseat equitation and they did it well. But yes, sometimes a judge's personal preference comes in to play, I think especially when the horse is not the traditional color for the particular discipline. For example, I know that sometimes my pinto mare would not be pinned in hunters-- even though she was actually a branded Dutch warmblood who just happened to be a tobiano pinto in color! I just learned to accept it. And now colored horses are quite popular on the open hunter circuit. I guess that's what makes horse shows interesting and unpredictable in some ways.Cindy Halehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826221923988198322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817758588420976932.post-59209836312129163192008-04-30T10:16:00.000-07:002008-04-30T10:16:00.000-07:00I agree with you.

I once saw a little girl do an awesome pattern, she definately did it right and so much smoother and better than everyone else. But the judge never placed her because he doesn't like gray horses. She was dressed appropriately, and her horse was turned out perfectly, she did the pattern perfect, and still didnt get a ribbon. I couldn't resist going up to her afterwards, as she was hugging her horse with tears in her eyes, and I told her what I thought, that she was the best rider in her class, and she and her horse looked very nice. That's when her mom came over and said that that particular judger NEVER places the grays. He preferred bays to any other color. That is so not fair.<BR/><BR/>He also never placed horses with riders who weren't obviously wearing " the latest styles" or horses without silver loaded saddles. <BR/>As the owner of 3 gray horses, I know better than to enter any of the classes that I know he will be judging.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817758588420976932.post-59486730661320332102008-04-29T17:34:00.000-07:002008-04-29T17:34:00.000-07:00YOur right cindy!

But in our 4H and small open shows, we aren't always lucky to get good judges like that. More often than not we get a judge that prefers horses/riders that look a certain way. Case in point: I was in a horsemanship class once in an almost too-small arena. The pattern was too easy, and I forgot it (I tend to do that with too easy patterns) I placed first over the only lady who did the pattern correctly, who didn't place at all. It was my first first-place ribbon, and I felt bad 'cause I'd done the pattern all wrong and thought I hadn't really earned it. I guess that judge forgot the pattern too and thought me and Sas pulled it off the best.<BR/><BR/>~SasafrasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817758588420976932.post-14356983270912497442008-04-28T16:41:00.000-07:002008-04-28T16:41:00.000-07:00Definitely - I wear generic brand show clothes. I ...Definitely - I wear generic brand show clothes. I don't see the point to why I should wear fancy-schmancy custom boots when off-the-rack Devon Aires work just fine for me. Sure, the soles have to be taped on to the boot (I've had them five years), but seriously - the judge isn't going to be sitting there going, "Oh, there she goes! She's a good rider but has black electrical tape on her boots. Take ten points off of her final score." or "Oh! Look! She can't ride worth anything, but she has fancy-schmancy Pikeur boots. Give her a 85!"<BR/><BR/>(I'm talking about dressage here)<BR/><BR/>There are other things that really annoy me. For one - the striped helmets in dressage. Now, I know, some of them are either hunter or jumper riders who are using dressage as a way to tone up their horses or to broaden their horizons. But really, it isn't that difficult for the "pure dressage" people to pick up a simple velvet-covered helmet. A good, economical helmet with velvet is definitely hundreds of dollars chepaer than a GPA. <BR/><BR/>Which leads me to this - why do some people ALWAYS have to buy their things new? My entire show wardrobe (minus the boots and breeches) were given to me free as hand-me-downs. I bought my boots because everyone I know wears at least a size 8 or have insanely long and skinny calves. I'm a 6 1/2 and wear a short and skinny calf. And I'm weird about breeches, they have to be new. I can't really make myself wear breeches that someone else has already worn.<BR/><BR/>Er - that turned out to be a novel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817758588420976932.post-18820447226853257922008-04-28T12:59:00.000-07:002008-04-28T12:59:00.000-07:00I think your are 100 percent right what realy matt...I think your are 100 percent right what realy matters is your riding capalbility.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
