This title discusses the underlying principles of both classical
equitation and the judging process itself. The author explains how
the judge's equestrian knowledge must be combined with the highest
standards of analytical thought and integrity to produce fair,
unbiased and consistent marking, which produces the correct result
and offers clear guidance to the competitors. The book then
analyses the component elements of dressage tests, explains what
judges are looking for, and why, and offers clear concise guidance
as to how riders can perform the movements correctly in order to
achieve high marks. In addition to discussing all the key movements
up to Grand Prix level, the author provides a thoughtful analysis
of the intricacies of riding and judging freestyle to music tests.
The second part of the book catalogues the history of Olympic
dressage. Following an essay on the origins of dressage as an
Olympic sport, there is a year-by-year record of the development of
key rules and changes to the tests. All the actual tests ridden are
reproduced and full results of all competitions are provided.
"Dressage: A Guideline for Riders and Judges" offers a book for
judges and aspiring judges of all levels and should be useful for
all riders who want to discover exactly what judges are looking for
and how to achieve it. It should also provide interesting reading
for everyone with an interest in the historical development of
competition dressage. Wolfgang Niggli is one of the most eminent
figures in international dressage. Formerly a successful competitor
in all the major disciplines, he has been an international dressage
judge since 1964 and has judged at numerous major events, including
three Olympic Games. For many years, Niggli has worked to improve
the consistency and standards of dressage judging.
