Driving and judging dressage is a symbiotic process. Drivers are
trying to interpret the requirements of the tests, while judges are
trying to estimate the success of the driver's efforts. Both
parties need to have roughly similar ideas about the whole purpose
of the exercise. The object of this book is to discuss the meaning
of the FEI rules for dressage and the problems facing both drivers
and judges in meeting the intentions and purposes of the dressage
discipline. The author makes the point that, while driven dressage
is derived from the ridden discipline, it poses very different
problems for both drivers and judges. Pulling even a lightweight
carriage in a dressage test requires the horse to use quite
different muscles and the driver to use different aids in order to
achieve a well-balanced, accurate and lively performance. It is
these differences that judges need to understand and appreciate in
order to mark all competitors fairly. The book is written in the
hope that it will help beginners on both driving and judging
dressage.
