Over 200.000 people ride a dressage test each year in Britain and whether it is for the Pony Club, a riding club, eventing or international dressage, there is much to be learnt from understanding the judge´s perspective.

In recent years, dressage has been the fastest expanding equestrian discipline in Britain and many other countries around the world. This means that this number of 200.000 is likely to grow and, as a result, more people will need to know how to earn the marks in the arena and more judges will be needed to asses the tests.

Judging dressage is a big subject and in The Dressage Judge´s Viewpoint  Jane Kidd has covered it in a concise, straightfoward and clear way. This book is the ideal introduction to judging dressage and a valuable reference book for judges, riders and trainers.

Jane Kidd is a British Dressage List One and FEI International Judge who is able to view the sport from many sides. She is the author of many books on dressage, has ridden in international dressage competitions, has trained competitors for eventing and dressage from Pony Club to international levels and has judged dressage in many countries
