đ´The score sheet for Presto’s first show arrived! The class placings are still not available but the judge’s marks and comments are. You can click each one to enlarge it and the pdf version is available on my website (if you’re having trouble reading these).
If you’re new to reading the test results, here are a few tips:
A 6 and above is desirable. Here are what the numbers represent:
10-Excellent
9-Very good
8-Good
7-Fairly good
6-Satisfactory
5-Marginal
4-Insufficient
3-Fairly bad
2-Bad
1-Very bad
0-Not performed
The comments can state something that needs to be improved or something they liked, or both.
Some of the movements are âcoefficientsâ, they have a number 2 beside them and youâll notice they were worth double.
I was very pleased to receive sevens! The two places where Presto was below 6 were in the places where he should have shown relaxation and a lowering of his head.
Presto was a bit on edge when we recorded. Even though this first âhorse showâ was at homeâŚhe was concerned with my husband, the video camera, the new cones, the new railing at the end of the arena, and the strange ride time. I was also acting more âproperâ and sitting up straighter, etcâŚ
All of which made Presto suspicious.
When it was time for the free walk and free jogâŚI didnât want him to lower his head too muchâŚbecause he felt like he might startle with all the new things happening.
What Iâm saying here isâŚI agree with what the judges saidâŚand I know why it happened. Which also means I know how to improve it for the future!
Iâll be excited to see where we finish in the class. Not that it matters though because the experience has already been a WIN for Presto!

Well done Stacy and weâll done Presto. He did an amazing job and the ride was beautiful. I loved watching this ride so much and I really got to see what all the transitions are supposed to look like and how you use your seat legs and hands to cue. Thanks for sharing and congrats
Its so exciting to see his progress and your understanding of what happened and why! Love your rationales and being optimistic. Congratulations!
Congratulations! Good scores. It will be fun to see Presto’s improvement in his test scores as time goes on.
Well done!
