Know Your Rules

First and Foremost,  Judges - being "generous" on riders first and second event may actually hurt them in the long run, as the first 2 scores are averaged and it could possible score them into a higher division than they should really be in.  Being honest is not being "mean"  New riders would rather have honest feedback and pointers for the next time, than for the Judge to be generous.  This is one the most brought up concerns with new riders.  

Second, Clinicians please ask show management about new riders and help get them in the correct division.  If they are not Novice, they do not have to ride Novice.  Let them know they should ride Intermediate or Limited.  

Here are some examples of questions that have been brought to the committee to be clarified.
Judges/Clinicians/Riders - If you have a suggestion or concern for our Judge's Committee to clarify or work on please let the office know and we will get right on it
