Really enjoyed a technical training session for my BD Judge's Education Pathway, this weekend. π€
Ahead of the training session, we get sent 20 short video clips of horse and rider combinations performing isolated test movements.
We have to judge them and assign each clip a mark, prior to the training session. We then meet up and discuss, in groups of other trainee judges, why we have assigned the marks we have.
Finally, a Tutor Judge tells us what the correct marks would have been, if it had been an exam. You are allowed to be, at most, half a mark out. π§
So thrilled and reassured that my whole sheet was within the correct range. ππ―
Fills me with confidence to keep plugging away, through the qualifying process. πͺπ₯°
